Jakk's Pacific/TV Games AC Mod/ Other mods

Played this set up a bit last night. Not too bad. I wonder if there's a way to direct boot to Alpine ski though. This thing goes through about four title screens before it gets to the main menu. Surprisingly, only 1 or 2 of the other 10 games is even good. I'd really like to just boot to Alpine ski. I have no idea if that's possible though.
 
Holy fuck, 10 years later, and I'm finally ready to start tackling this project. I just dug the controller out, and thank God I took the batteries out when I stored it. I found it, put in some new batteries, plugged it in and it still works great. Still wondering the best way to convert this to AC voltage. I'm assuming a wall wart would work? these things take four AA batteries at 6V. I've got dummy batteries connected to a power cord in my Pacman and I'm not real happy with the way that works. I'd much rather have a direct solder option. I'm just wondering where to solder the two ends of the power cord to. I don't wanna take this apart unless I know it's possible.
Remove the battery cover.
Find the + and - terminals (the first and last one - flat is plus, spring is minus)
Solder a red wire to the plus terminal, solder a black wire to the spring minus terminal.
Connect those wires to a 6 volt 1 amp capacity wall wart.

Done.
