If you're just using a linear regulator I recommend you use a LM1084, 5A output and adjustable. Mfg# LM1084IT-ADJ

Every time you use a crappy linear regulator, God kills a kitten. No, really. Save the kittens, use a switching regulator. The felines will thank you.

I've check this linear regulator out. It really isn't that bad! All the specs come out just about as clear as a switiching. Look at it's datasheet.

Then every time you use a PSOne screen, God kills two kittens. Unless you do the mod I am fixin' to do.

The regulator is availible and Digikey, as well as the caps. Throw those on some perfboard and your good to go.
