Ok your planning to build (in layman's terms) a computer that will run emulators of 16-8bit systems. Now that we know its a computer, the thing is to avoid buildin a power supply at this point. Go look for a GameCube PSU. Tare that apart and use it as your DC-DC coverter. As all computers run on 12, 5 and 3,3 volts which are supported outputs of the GameCube PSU your set.
