Using a GDEMU in a dreamcast and having trouble with the PSU getting hot and having to keep aligning the pins too as they keep going misaligned.
As I'm too cheap to go with the obvious choice a Pico PSU I decided to use some resistors instead pictured below.
The thing is the resistors get very hot and one touched the case and even melted it! I've since arranged them better so they don't hit the top of the case but it does seem like things are still getting really really hot.
Should I be afraid of the heat the dreamcast is making or ride it out until the PSU goes kaput then finally mosey up the cash for a Pico? Also any other ideas to keep the system cool?
