Dream cast portble power help

Post by portable pie »

I have made a dcp out of a 5.6 inch xbox screen, but dint know about powering it, or the dream cast. Is there any way I can power it without ordering online? I also have a lot of good rc car batteries.

You can power it using R/C Car batteries. You'll need quite a few though. Also, you'll need to get some electronics for a nice stable power supply. Search around a bit and you'll find some schematics.

If you want to you can make a power supply for the Dreamcast using the Gamecube's. Dkap01 has details about it in his thread. You can find used Gamecubes for $30 at Game Crazy, likely for less then $40 at Game Stop or EB Games.

You could use a picoPSU to power it, but you'd have to order it online I think... And I read you didn,t want to do so !

I hope I helped !
