screen controller thing

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

Well I've played armored core on it about a dozen times. For the size its very good.

So that eveyone knows about the screen it has a 7808 power regulator, that means it cant run off of anything less then 8 volts. So it'll be good for Atari, NES, N64, Dreamcast (if want that small a screen), PS2, and NGC. All of which run on 9-12 volts.

The NES runs on 7.2? Otherwise all those (according to doomportables) run on 12v, the atari is up to 9 as we all know.

anything that uses a 7805 use a min. of 7.2V.
That includes the atari 2600, nes, snes, psone, and a lot more

I typed 7808, those out put 8 volts thats what you said when we ent over trying to incorperate it into the PSp. I know the 7805 is in the atari and outputs 5v.

I know what a 7808 is, I'm just saying that (for the most part) people use a 7.2V battery when dealling with systems that use a 7805, and it would be inconvinient to use a screen that requires at least 8V, and if it indeed requires strict regulation of those 8 volts, than you'd need a dc-dc converter or a 7808 which needs around 11V to function
