How much current does the NES require?

[WhatULive4]

I'm using an AC adapter rated at 700mA, will this be adequate or should I go with something a little higher? I should mention that I have a USB copyNES connected as well, so I guess it could possibly pull a little extra than a normal NES.

What voltage is it?
and 700mAh seems good but let me double check.

I've removed the RF/AV unit. It is a 5v 700mA adapter.

Ok I can get back to you after school but that should be fine.

9v at 1.3 Ah / 1300mAh

9v at 1.3 Ah / 1300mAh

Yes, I realize that is what the original one is, but I'm sure it doesn't pull that much amperage. I'm also not using the 7805 voltage regulator, but a different 5v adapter connected directly to the board. If I hooked up a 9v source my board would be officially fried.

5v at 700mAh Will be fine.

Yes, 5V direct is better - why use the regulator when it can be bypassed
