led mod on casio

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

Well, will that really work or would I have to put in more resistors, I am planning on running it from a 6V camcorder battery also will the power drain affect the TV or game function (I am planning on keeping the tv reciever working so I can also watch tv)

i've run LEDs from over 12v with the same resistors i used to power them from 6v. 6v won't hurt it, it's not much more than 5v. it might even draw less ma, but that's not a big difference considering LEDs draw hardly any ma at all.
