Revision C Gamecube on 7.4v

[ryguy425425]

I got a great deal on a revision C gamecube, and I came across a portable dvd player with an input and a 7" screen, and a 3700 mAh battery. Although most people use a 5000 mAh+ battery for a portable gamecube, I think I will be more then happy with this one (and it saves me a lot of money). The only problem is that the battery pack outputs 7.4v, while as far as I know a revision C gamecube requires atleast 10.2v. Can a revision C gamecube be modified the same way as revisions A and B to take my battery pack, or would it be a lot easier to buy a step-up inverter? Can anyone reccomend an inverter (preferably a TI free sample )? Thanks!

He's talking about a rev c.

Would it be possible to adapt this power supply to work with a revision c gamecube? Could I solder directly onto the board just after the built in psu to give the same results?

Sorry, I wasn't thinking.

Yeah, I don't see why not.

I'm thinking I'll go with something like this: http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/p ... 4050c.html
Only this turns 3-5v into 12v with 12w, and I believe I need 21w (with an input of 7.4v). Battery life isn't the most important thing to me, as it will play and charge, and I think I have a car adapter around here somewhere. I can't seem to find the boost converter that I need though.
