no

not enough voltage....you could use 2 for the ps1, though, and 3 or 4 for the ps2 :)

just wire them up in series
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

Even if you did wire that many, they're only what? Something like 500-1000 mah? I don't even know if the PS1/PS2 would be able to turn on with that. Even if it did you would have such a short play time, you would have to be the worlds best speed gamer to get anywhere on a game before it turned off.

can you use any rechargeable battery and can you use batterys like a 9 volt or some AA's.

yeah, you can use pretty much any battery you want as long as you can get the correct voltage. Adding batteries in series will make the voltages add. Putting them in parallel will increase the mAh capacity, but will not change the voltage.
As for 9v batteries...they have really low mAh. Because of the higher voltage, the capacity needed to be reduced, so the average 9v only has about 700mAh...with a rechargable being even less. Alkaline AA's (non-rechargable) are usually about 2700 - 2900 mAh, and rechargable ones you get get around 2100mAh if you can find them.

I'd go with rechargable AA's myself. hope that helps :)

No, you cannot. Go with Radioshack batteries, I imagine Sony charges too much for the PSP batteries, so after buying like 4 or 6 of them, you'd have gone well over the budget.
