Hi guys,

This has probably been covered but I can't seem to find a definative answer.

I'm wondering what type of basic dc-dc power supply I could pickup from say JayCar to run a PS2 Slimline in the car.

So many options but so little clue so any help would be great.

Ken

an AC inverter that plugs into the cigeratte lighter is a good 1, just ask the guys in store what kind of Inverter u need i got a small one and it works fine, ur looking at around $50 - $80 i got mine cheap cos i know ppl there

I use a 300watt intverter. It was $90 from dicksmith. I get some interferance though my speakers though. I recommond getting the 300watt sine wave inverter but it will set you back around $300ish.

yeah i got the jaycar 300watt and there is heaps of lines and **** on the screen :( and a lil bit of buzzing through the audio (even when pluged into mains) any idea short of pure sinewave of how to clear up the pic???

From like games wizards or EB i believe u can get ones that plug into ciggie and direct into PS2.. so u dnt need to plug PS2 into a plug into ciggie... its 1 less inverter/transformer

certain places can mod the power supply of the ps2 to run of 12volts i cant remember if it was the guy at the mod shop or the guy at audiocom who told me that they could do this

Ive heard of a connection that goes straight to the ciggie lighter without an intveter but this was only for the slimline version. You could by them from dick smiths but i think they were about $200 but dont quote me on that.

Thanks guys,

It is the slimline, ill have a look at some of the options. The less I spend the better as it really only is a novelty factor rather than a necessity.

Cheers

hey dude how have you wired yours up again..... mines buzzing the **** outta me!!! sound is ok but the pic is gay.... and my h/u has such a nice screen :cry:

ohh yeah and when the invertor is powered up it makes a buzzing sound...... not from the sprakers etc... is that normal???

I work at Jb and do teh games there, there is a 12v adaptor for your cigratette lighter made by a company called joytech, they cost around 20 bucks i can't remember of my head. Defiantly the far most cheaper option. But only for slimlines

Games Wizards, PS2 adapater plugs straight into cigarette lighter.

It's called a JoyTech PS2 Car Adapter and is $19.95.

It's installed and no sound interference whatsoever.

Yay me.

Only sucky thing is it doesnt quite fit into the underseat tray with a memory card still inserted. Ill have to work on this problem later but oh well.

Its wired up to the back of the ciggie lighter. The cables are run down the center to under the passenger seat.

Mine makes a buzzing sound when the volume is up over halfway. I have no problems with my picture though.

you could always use your PS2 in a house, where its supposed to be used :P

I just use one of the 300W inverters from Jaycar, and i have no problems with sound and audio at any volume so im stumped there:confused:

mines running off a 150watt and i havent had any dramas yet..:P
