7.2v regulator

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

I believe the TI regulator you mentioned outputs a maximum of 5.5v, so while you can't use it to power the screen, you can use it to get the 3.3v for the N64.

What are you powering your N64p with? The PSone screen can take up to 8v safely, 9v is considered the very limit. There isn't anything to gain by using a higher voltage battery.
