gamecube portable DC - DC converter

[??????????]

Hi im making a gamecube portable and i have 7.4 volt batteries (I think....I forgot lol) and i want to step it up to 12 volts for the gamecube. So can you guys tell me what i should buy ( I have a revision C mobo if that matters)
Can't you get the gamecube running off of stuff smaller than 12v? Any help would be appreciated.

It can run off 3.7v but 7.4 is recomeded depending on your design and how much work/ time your willing to put into it

I dunno much about voltage regulators sorry dude.maybe a step-up regulator of some sort.
make sure you check out the mega stickys day da bomb!

You can't make a custom regulator for Rev C boards, so wyadith's suggestion is not going to work.

Step up converters are very inefficient, too.

So either use a 14.8v or 11.1v lipo battery pack or get a new (Rev A or B) board and make a custom regulator.

It can only run off of 3.7 volts if you are using the Wiikey fusion mod. If you are using the disc drive, you need at least 5 volts.

He says he has a Rev C. That has an onboard regulator. Anything below 11.1v LiPos won't work and even 11.1v packs will cut out early.

Actually I fried my mobo but i have another gamecub thats like rev A or B but, I'm not gonna portabalize it maybe some day.
But i'm going to put a Qoob pro modchip in it
