or better still

with 2 D type batteries will give you the required amps

btw on the E3 " VCC or BVCC " one powers the E3 the other just powers the led's above the switches
if you leave that one off then you will increase the available amps for the ps3's NOR

I had used an old PC power supply, that output 3.3v with 28A i think as written on it. So any advice about this problem.

28A
that must be a big psu
or is it (point 28A) > .28A
or 2.8A

a pc power supply is fine
it has more than enough amps to power this.
it doesnt push the amps into what ever is plugged into the supply (in this case the E3) it works the other way around.
what ever is connected the the power supply draws amps from it so if the E3 connected to the ps3 has a draw of 2amp then thats all it will pull from the supply.
the prob is if the supply has a max of 1 amp then the E3 is trying to draw more amps than what the supply can give.

if the supply has 20 amps then the E3 will just draw 2amps (if thats all it needs)

now voltage is different
if the supply is rated at 5v and the the E3 is rated at 3.3v then the suppy will still give it 5v

does that clear it up for you?

Also if you get the 2xD battery holder you need 2 x1.5v alkaline D they are 1800nAh or 1.8A

wow..electric noob here..thx for the infos, have a unfinished PC Power Supply, stuck on the part where it needs a diode? or something to make it safe? all wires are already speperate 3.3/5/12/gnd? its one with no switch in theback, purple/green wire for switch? i have all this stuff and not totally sure howto..lol...if i put up some pictures is there anyone willing to help me finish my "test" PSU?

seems the 2xD battery holder is the easiest to get some juice to power the ps3nor?
nice projects anyway

the key there is the ah (Amps per Hour)
so 1800mah is saying the battery will last for 1 hour if what is connected has a draw of 1800ma (MilliAmp) or 1.8A
if the E3 + ps3 nor has a draw of 2A then your looking at aprox 45min of battery power (before the battery weekens)

No the conse will only draw what to needs.

but a 2A fuse in between would be wise.

I had checked my power supply again and it said Orange 3.3V -- 28A, so i'm sure that it will gives PS3 board enough current, but maybe some thing wrong.
So i'll try to test it later then feedback.
