powering the SNES and PS1 screen

Hi folks. I am trying to power both my PS1 screen and my SNES with one ac power adapter. I know that the PS1 with the screen attached to it only uses 1 adapter, can I accomplish this with the SNES?

Also, I've read of ppl using rechargeable rc batteries on their portables. Are these batteries worth it? I read that they are no good after a few months....

I think that the psone screen uses 7.5V, and you can put anything above 7V into the snes, so a 7.5V adapter could power both. The SNES uses a 7805 regulator, so with 7.5V you couldn't bypass the regulator. Hope this helps!

That will work. My SNES portable is made that way.

And if you get NI-MH batteries, they will last you a long time. I've had my Super Famicom A built for a few months now and its batteries show no signs of having any problems.

If you use NI-Cd, make sure the batteries are completely dead before you re-charge them, and they should also be okay for a while.

I was in Best Buy the other day and saw a dvd battery with a charger. On the back it ways 7.2v 4500maH (I think it's 4500). Would that work for a SNES portable? Is 4500 mah too high? This particular battery was made by energizer and costs a hefty 99.99

here's the link for it: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp ... pe=product

You can never have too many AH. Anyways, that battery isn't bad if you don't mind extremely overpriced equipment.
I'd get some NiMh rechargable AA or C cells. It'd be a lot cheaper.

you can get lithium for that price i.e. a big sony camcorder battery
