I am working on a project to consolidate all of the legacy Nintendo systems into a single case (the NES case to be specific) and am working on a custom power supply that will power the rig. I am quite new to circuit design so I wanted to put this up for discussion and get some feedback as to whether this would work and not be too much of a fire hazard. I am posting this in the N64 forum because the N64 board has the most unique power requirements of the three. If you are interested in more details on the project check out my blog at http://goodadvicebydan.blogspot.com
So here are my assumptions:
-This is not a portable system so it will use a DC Adapter (Wii Power Supply)
-The circuit will power an N64, SNES (RetroDuo board), and a NES (NOAC).
-All three systems will be connected to the power supply and have switches to turn on and off.
-Only one system can be used at a time, it is intentional that a fuse will blow if more than one is turned on.
Here are the specs:
Power Input: 12v 3.7A Wii Power Supply
Power Output(s):
3.3v 2A N64 - 1
12v 1A N64 - 2
5v 1A SNES (RetroDuo)
5v 1A NES (NOAC)

I will be using a PTH08080 regulator assembly (capacitor/resistor configuration not shown in this diagram, but they will be there) to get the 3.3v, and standard 7805 regulators to get the 5v inputs.
Any feedback or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
