opps you're right. I just made an error in calculating the exchange rate.

it's damned expensive to me, almost as expensive as a laptop battery.

Its kinda hard to explain. Theres a way of comparing water in a hose to electricity, so I'll do my best to tell it.
Volt- pretty much the pressure of the water
Amps- amount of water in the hose
Resistance- resistance in the hose (explains itself)

So with batteries, there is an Amp-hour rating, its ...

If you just have to use AAs, you might be able to have 2 parallel sets of 10 AAs in series. It might work. C batteries might be better.

It seems that rechargable C battery is also 1.2v for each and no much difference from AA battery. Why could it solve the problem of "power draw"? Sorry for ...

thanks! And i do agree a new section is needed for this.
(I also wish a specific section for wii too )

Hi,

you can try Sktools and choose "Windows Startup" to add new program to bootup list.

But be very cautious: Sktools sometimes causes a serious problem to the pocket pc. Make sure you back up your ppc before using it.

Oh, I was wondering why Ben's wii laptop aren't powered up by portable batteries and perhaps "power draw" is the reason.

I've tried to google "power draw" but still haven't got an idea what it's exactly. Are there any solution for this?

Thanks again!

sorry, i've made a wrong post....

Hi all,

I'm very new here and recently I've bought a GP2X --- the first portable gaming device I've bought since year 1989.

Are there any section here for discussing GP2X?

Thanks a lot!

Hi, I'd like to make a portable power supply for Wii with rechargable AA batteries, without any change on the motherboard.

Each AA battery should be 1.5v , so i'm wondering how many batteries i need for this. Thanks a lot!

portable N64 plus a laptop docking would be great.

Yeah, got it. My local bookshop sells it for US$30.6 in hong kong, but still a bit cheaper than amazon's (plus shipping cost). Couldn't wait for it now!

As many of you suggest this book, finally i come seriously to read its table of content. Surprisingly, it's really an idiot guide and seems to be able to answer my silly questions on many basic electronics components.

More novice than i think, and more detailed than i expect. This book seems to be ...

Thanks a lot for all your help and advice.

Soldering iron is new to me, and that's surely what I will practice.

Besides this, I'm always amazed by mod experts' knowledge on circuits and boards. When reading http://nfggames.com/wiki/doku.php?id=av:wii_multi_av_pinout , I have no idea about what ...

Hello all,

I'm deeply impressed with wii laptop and many portable systems, but as an engineering idiot, i know nothing about circuit, switch, and many names of parts like PCB or even headers. Having tolerated my ignorance on this for so many years, I really want to learn from scatch now and wish ...
