The AC/DC adapter says the following:
Input: AC120V 60Hz 90mA
Output: 6V 200mA
Made in China (What isn't?)
How would I run this thing off batteries? If asked, Ill take the console apart and post pics.
Thank you.

Run two 3.7 volt batteries to the regulator in series.

Take a picture on the inside of the factor5 near the power supply. Then I will give you a diagram.

You need to upload the image to photobucket or tinypic or something, you can't just pull it from your email.

Try to find a component labeled 7805, it should be black, and take a picture of that

Unfortunately, puberty doesn't supply common sense, you have to pay extra. Bull.
