Need a bit of help please...
Was wrapping things up on my portable last night. I built an Atari 2600 portable.
Got everything stuffed into the case, but I'm a bit confused about the batteries.
I used a real Atari 2600 (using Ben Heck's 4x4 mod) and one of those hip screen pads for the video. II've got everything running off of 6 AA batteries.
Obviously that isn't the best solution. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do about the battery issue? It works now, but I am sure it won't work for long on that type of power once the batteries drain a bit.
I don't know much about amps and rechargables and other stuff. I am hoping someone here can lead me in the right direction. I will look over the rest of the threads here (seems like a lot of good people and helpful advice) and check back in a bit. Thanks!
