Help
Hi, I just wanted to say I am happy to see this project happening here. I am planning on doing a PG clone as well, but not for a little while yet. I'll be interested to see how you go.
In terms of your reg getting hot, power dissipated in the reg is the voltage drop across the reg x current through it.
Definitely check for shorts on your LCD, and also in the connecting loom. It could be a small solder dag making a partial connection. Also, I'm not sure what your settup is, but do you have a pot to trim the backlight current? If you have a multimeter, it shouldn't be too hard to measure the current going into the LCD on the 5V rail.
Cheers

Unfortunately I'm a bit behind my already rather unambitious schedule. Family- and work-related stuff has occupied my time lately. But I'm definitely going to complete this project, even if it takes a long time. :)
