thats quite random

A power regulator so you don't potentially overload the PSP.

And (to be really safe) add a fuse.

you need a 7805 resistor to knock down the 9.6v to 5

Uh dude you know that a lot of coach busses have outlets on them theres like one or two on the wall near each seat i beleive. So just plug it in the whole time.

I am not sure what you mean, but on the buses i use, they don't have outlets.
I've also changed the plan, so tell me, Do i still need a resistor?
I'm making:
Female powerplug-----battery box (4AA's)
Its just a powerplug thats hooked into a battery box, so i can power my psp and other stuff without breaking a psp wire.

regulator, not resistor. yes you need one because PSP uses 5v

my buddy took an Ipod and did the Same trick to a make up kit a wile ago... Hes got like 40 billion hours on one charge

well, my idea didn't work, I cant get a psp charger cable, and the one i had got smashed (the little yellow part). My brother will loan me his, and i'm not taking that apart. what i meant by 'my idea':

took a 9v female plug from radio shack.

cut an extension cord (it has 3 plugs)

i connected them, and put a 9v battery in, and got nothing. even pluging in a 3v GBA power supply, nothing.

you cant hook a battery up to an outlet
iv tried it a million time every whichh way
it cant be done

OK, how else can i do it? The radio shack i went to to get the regulator didn't have any in stock.

It can, but you were probably plugging in an AC-DC adaptor, which is made for 120VAC input, not 9VDC. Even if you did regulate the 9V down to 5V, and put it in the PSP directly, I don't think it could run on such low amperage.

yah, i noticed. I was going to use E2 D's or E2 AA's, but i can't get a psp cable i can destroy, and i cant get a regulator.

Do any of the radioshack "adaptaplug"s fit the PSP?

I don't know what the adaptor tip on a PSP is, but it is probably something standard, so go buy a univeral adaptor, and attach the tip to 4 Ni-MH batteries. It would only be 4.8V, but it should run 0.4V under the "needed" input ammount.
