You have to quote this so that the chain gets longer.Bibin said:eurddrue said:Naw, my power supply only puts out what's required, and that was because the 7805 was ruined.

And that's without the screen!nevermind1534 said:eurddrue said:You paid for your 7805's? I usually just take them from old electronics, but I've ruined all of mine, I was inputing power to the wrong pins and now they get SSUUPPAARR hot, like even with a large heatsink on them. Also, does anybody know if the FC twin is supposed to draw 4 amps?nevermind1534 said:eurddrue said:I was kinda hoping for free I could paypal you $1 for the stamp, but, meh, they're $1.50 on ebay, I was just wondering if somebody had some extrasnevermind1534 said:eurddrue said:yo dawg, I herd I just won a gbc for $10 shipped! And I was going to get a pocket for $6 shipped but it got sniped
Anybody got a free 7805? I ruined mine, and it's all I need to finish my snesp!
Wanna send me a few $ in the mail?
Then paypal would eat half of it. $1 or $2 in the mail would be better. I had to pay for it, too, remember.
How many volts?
Amps * Volts = Watts
It is not drawing 4 amps, you are just feeding it 4 amps. It should run on less than 600mA.
Well, you know you don't need the 7805 right? Just feed 5V to the SNES portion and it should run.
Also, almost every affordable power supply does NOT work that way, and I think you pumped too much voltage to it, which was the issue,
And, my friend built it, I do not know anything about it other than, it can almost not hurt itself. If you touch the leads together it doesn't ruin anything like my other one. And, I have no idea why it put out 4A, but when I hooked it up straight, not going through the 7805. Would there be anyway I could use a 7905 on the negative line to get 5v for it? I doubt it, but it's all I have. And, when I hooked it up straight without the 7805 it drew 4A then dropped down to less than one.
