Radica on 9 Volt?

Has anyone tried this? Running a Radica on a 9 Volt Battery? When I do my MDPINAC (Mega Drive Portable In A Controller), I may run it from 9-Volts

Why use a 9v battery. Its over kill and you'll be wasting more power if you do that as you'll have to use soemthing like a 7805 regulator to take the power down to 5v. Just get two AA battery holders and wire them together, and if you use rechargables you'll get a lot more play time then if you use a 9v.

Ok... I just don't want to waste tons of space inside the controller, there has to be space for the Radica, Hip Gear and Controller
