-You'll need a power supply of course.  The PSP and Nintendo DS use a 5V supply that's perfect for providing a little bit of juice for the signal, but you could use anything: a USB port has +5V on it (and should be safe, don't blame me if your PC asplodes).

+  * A quick fix can be implemented by using a 9V battery (positive lead on Pin 8, negative lead on any of the grounds) and a 150 Ohms resistor between Pin 8 and Pin 16.
+  * Either three or four AA batteries can be used as well.(definitely use four if they're rechargeables, they're usually only 1.2v each)
