How many amps should my ps2 and psone screen take up...

I believe I'm actually going to go for either a 11.1V or 14.4V series of C or D batteries. And the way I'm running it is im having one lead go directly to the ps2's motherboard and having another lead go to an adjustable voltage regulator

that outputs 7.5V for my intec screen.
Though I'm not sure how much diferent the PsONE screen is but im sure you can just use a voltage regulator. Unless the 7808 is cheaper It could be simpler for you to use.
Just another option though.

All radioshack has is a 7805 and this... if i cant use that, what would I do to the 7805

A 7805 won't work.

but could I add a resistor to get a 7805 to work?

No. You need 8V, not 5V, and a resistor in parallel would screw you on changing current draws.

is there any alternative to a 7808?

Variable regulator with the adjustment circuit.

would this work? http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?c ... d=276-1778

If you make the adjuster circuit. Read the datasheet for it.
