7808. or a dc-dc convertor to make it more efficient
edit: Gamelver beat me

a dc-dc convertor would be better

That's kinda like Ben H.'s computer in a beer case.

I just thought of something! On the GCN motherboard, there are power pins. One of them happens to be 8.4 Volts. So i guess you could take your PSone screen power and solder the Possitive (7.5 in) to the GCN Mb. Is there a ground pin on the power pins area? If not, what would you do? I thought this could be a workaround so you dont need a regulator (a 7808 for GCp's)

is harshboy right

.....where the hell are you getting 8.4V from

?

the GC DC-DC converter converts 12-16V into 1.9V, 3.4V, and 5V. on some it might be -1.2V or something. gannon had a wierd power supply like that once

.

anyway, there's no 8.4V spot, and even if there is, it probably can't supply enough power for the psone screen.
