EDIT: damn Vbmaster beat me

that was my link, originally, gosh darn it

and the gc dc-dc converter outputs 1.9V, 3.4V, 5V, and Vin....hmmm...perhaps, if I get another dreamcast, I'll test it again to make sure

..last time, I think it screwed up a bit, but that was probably because my DC was broken

just a random question....is there any simple way to have low heat power regulation?

yeah i think its get a good (expensave) dc-dc. kindof crappy but unless you want miles of heatsink on your bare bones portable, its the best bet.

i have not used a dc-dc converter b4. how would you hook the power regulator from the gamecube up to the dreamcast. also, how would i hook up the batteries to the dreamcast. will i be able to hook a psone screen up directly to the dreamcast in order to get power, or will i have to use a 7805 to route the power to the screen and the dreamcast seperatly. how much soldering would be involved in doing this? if i got any of my electrical terms wrong, sry im new to this.

also, would you have to modify the dreamcast or solder anything to change thiswith the dreamcast psu?
