ok so i've been reading up on how to get the dreamcast to run off battery's, and the most popular answer was to use a GC DC-DC converter, so i searched around on the internet trying to find somewhere that sold just the power supply's, even though i knew i wasn't going to find one, and i tried finding some kinds of diagrams on it so i knew what i was doing once and if i just broke down and bought a used GC. But then i remembered that whole part about the DC-DC converter so i searched google for DC-DC converters and i found a page and found one that looked like it might work,

Cause it has an output for 3.3v, 5v, and 12v, and had an input for 18v-30 something volts. but its been a while since i've taken any electronics classes so i wanted to make sure that i asked here to get a more expert opinion on this before i tried finding somewhere that sold them. Thanks for any help.

get the pico psu that way you wont have to deal with 18 volts, only 12. also there are diagrams for the pico psu

ok i'll probably end up doing that, but still just out of curiosity does anyone know or think that the DC-DC converter would work, i know 18v would be a lot to try and get without getting two 9.6v that would weigh a lot, but with that aside, would it be possible?
