yeah you can do that. Just make sure if you do it that way that you put the 7808 after your power switch or else the screen will be on all the time. You need the Pico Psu though to power the dreamcast. Because it takes a voltage that can be given by a battery and converts it to the 12v, 5v, and 3.3v ...

Looks as if you have a revision 2 board. I got lucky and ended up having one for my DCP as well. Its nice since you don't have the GD-Rom board to relocate and mess with.

cocoahoopz is right. The Pico Psu takes 12v in and outputs the correct voltages where as the original PSU takes 120VAC. Read up in Family Guys DCP build/Pico Psu discovery thread and everything you need to know to get your Power supply working is in there. There are also a few variable input Pico ...

The first portable I did was a Dreamcast so it is definitely do-able. Just make sure you do your homework! Study everyone's WIP post, Family guys especially to figure out how to use the Pico Psu. You use a Quantum fighter pad for your controller because all of the controls are on their own boards ...

I can solve a Rubik's cube in 30 seconds 8)

Same here. Fastest time was 32 seconds.
I like sudoku but suck terribly at it.
I'm into airsoft. Haven't played for a while but used to play pretty hardcore in high school.
I also like taking things apart and never putting them back together again :lol:

Everything a redneck needs in life. I took that picture on the way down to the north ridge of the grand canyon.

If you do end up trying that... I would just make one suggestion. Make a high res scan of the board before you do it, that way when your trying to figure out which line went where, you can pull up the picture on your comp and zoom in to see more detail. I did this on my GD-Rom for my Dreamcast so I ...

I also found a similar schematic using a quad op-amp.

Gives four different voltage level indicators.

Take it from someone who has built a Dreamcast portable, all the information you need is on here. I built one with a little help from family guy through pm's but most of the information you need is right here on the forums. There really isn't much you need to do and for that stuff you do need to do ...

There was a guy on instructables that made a homemade Night vision where he used some IR LEDs but they had essentially three LED's in each. He used 8 of these I believe, bought a IR camera and hooked it up to a view finder from an old video camera.

Since you took the IR filter off of your camera ...

There are several different variations of the Pico Psu. There are ones that will only take 12v. No more. But there are some with variable inputs. Such as 6v to 24v or something. So your 10.8v li-ion would be able to power that and it has the same power output, 125 watts, as the regular 12v Pico Psu ...

Upload to a website such as photobucket. They should give you a link that says for forums and such or websites and you should be able to use that just copy and paste and put it in your post.

Also read Family guys post on his DCP build. Helped me a lot to build mine. Also pin outs can be found for the video hook ups with a simple google search. If there are any questions you have feel free to PM me and ask and I will try and answer them or point you in the right direction.

At http://www.mini-itx.com they have an entire list of casemods people have done with their mini-itx boards and such. there are probably over 50 mods. Most have multiple pictures as well as work logs. I believe there is a mini-itx laptop in there.

Possibly have a port on the front of your wheelchair so that when you drive your wheelchair into the car it plugs in when you get into the drivers spot. Then have a miniPC or something with a program to interpret the joystick movements from your wheelchair to drive the car. Just an idea.
