Hey everyone,

I'm starting (for the third try now) a super nintendo portable. I have a screen that accepts composite and battery input, so the only thing I need to do to the Super Nintendo is get it to run off battery power. We removed the default 7805, we removed the dc power jack, and then we ...

So i've seen that people can run the SNES and psone screen off of 4 AA batteries. It makes sense, cause if one double A is like 1.5 volts, 4 in series would be six. The only thing is that 6 volts doesnt go in the 7805 Regulator, so how can i wire this to my devices that take 5v? thanks!

It's ok now, I figured out how to get the screen out. Thanks so much though, it means a lot! I'll post pics when it's all done!

Hey everyone,

I'm working on my first project (a snes laptop) and it's coming along great. I thought I was in the winning stretch opening up the psone screen, and im getting rid of the 5 screws holding down the board only to find out whoever put it together stripped the hell out of the last screw ...

I'm new to portabilizing, and i'm making a super nintendo portable from Ben's book. I don't want to build the hand-built one exactly like the book says, and I wanted to a different screen thats smaller and takes less power. I wanted to get one from this site: http://www.aeicomp.com/search_result.asp ...

The thing I like about the C battery is that it has 8000 mAh, and you can get rechargeable ones.
I also heard NiMH batteries are hard to charge, and theres a special way to charge them.
Thank you again!

Hello,
I'm completely new to portabilizing and i've ordered the book which has not yet arrived.
I think I understand the mAh of batteries, and I read that a C battery has about 8000 mAh. Is it possible to use this to run the portable SNES? I'm using the SNES mini and the PSone screen. Also, is there ...

Oh cool. Thanks! I'm really excited for my book to ship (amazon says it'll be a while) but i'm going to start right away. One thing i'm unsure about is soldering and de-soldering though. Will the book explain that?

Hello!

I'm completely new to portabilizing, but i'm very interested. I've been a programmer for ages, and have a wide knowledge of computers, but this is new to me. I've been doing a lot of research on it the past few days, and decided to order the book by Ben Heck. I wanted to ask some questions ...
