PSone screen max voltage.

[dunks0r]

Hi All,

I have searched and searched, but see rather vague numbers thrown up as to how much voltage the PSone screen can take, if you follow Bens guide to his PS2 build it looks as tho he has just put the PS2 and the PSone screen straight off 9 volts.

Does anyone here run their PSone screen off more than 7.5 volts? and if they dont what to they use to regulate power for it if they are running a battery more than 7.5v

I have seen a few people throwing around the 7808 reg, But would love to know what (the few people who have one) Portable PS2 users have to regulate their power.

Segasonicfans i know has a custom powersupply, but i diddnt see what hes regulating it out to be for the system.

I would love the idea of no reg, and run both off 9v to use the most of the battery (which is exactly the same as bens) but not if it means a dead PSone screen in a month or less.

Thanks in advance.

I know the_screen can handle up to 9v before you fry it. So it's 7.2v-9v (pushing it).

I've run two seperate PSOne screens off my 9v battery (identical to Ben's as well), and had no problems.

i've run mine at 9.2 volts without a problem. people say they get distortion or blown fuses or something at 9.6v though

Yeah, I use six AA batteries, so at 1.5 volts each that equals 9 volts. Of course, as time goes on the voltage goes down, but it's not a problem.

Thanks peoples,

This is comforting news, no regs so hopefully long battery life, (well as long as 5400mah will provide)

Thanks again, hope to report some ps2 portalisation soon

If the screen fries, don't say Skyone didn't warn you.
