Does anyone on here know if it is possible to convert a Playstation 2 to run off 12V?

I don't want to use a 240v-12v convertor if I can help it.

I am sure I read something where you can get them converted...

Any ideas?

We went to but a inverter to run my lads ps1.
Its one of those little ones with the built in screen, anyway we found that a 150w inverter would run it fine when the car engine was off and the output from the auxilary socket was around 12.5/ 13.5v but as soon as the engine is runing the voltage creeps up to about 14.95v. At this point the inverter shuts down as it take this to be an overcharge.

In the end we went to Gamebase in Swinton and bought a proper 12dcv to 7.5dcv power lead for it. He has leads for all types of machine.
