Would it be safe to remove the 7805 IC (because it can only safely regulate power with at least 7 volts) and power my NES directly with an old IBM power supply that outputs 5 volts at 14 amps? I know that the 7805 brings it down to 5VDC and I am pretty sure a PC PSU is well regulated.
If you need to know why I want to do this, it is because I have a problem with my everdrive N8, and I want to check if the FPGA on it is simply not receiving enough power. I don't have any wallwarts that provide a decent number of amps to test this theory.
