can i run a psone screen off anything in the range from 7.2- 32 volts like an N64

The psone lcd has a few components before the 7805s, so it seems to get distorted with anything above 9V.

is there a way to convert 12v into 7.5v?

Put a step down before the parts.

is there a regulater that goes to 7.5v

no, but a 7808 goes to 8V which is close enough

maybe i'll just use a different set of batteries for the screen than the N64

doesnt that seem sorta pointless? they will run out at different times

Thats what Ben did for his first couple of VCSp's, I always wondered why.

here's a good idea for batteries: use 7.2v rc car battery(s) for screen and n64. or do what i might do and use 2 6v lantern batteries (12v). use a 7808 or something to turn 12v into 8v for the screen and n64. i only suggest my method if you want really long bat life.
