All this talk of regulated power supplies reminded me of this product which takes a range of inputs via the barrel jack socket: https://proto-pic.co.uk/product/sparkfun-prt-13032-breadboard-power-supply-stick-5v-3-3v/ Meanwhile, the CI20 can be powered from a USB port and employs a barrel jack socket to accept that power. According to the hardware reference it is actually "a 5V 4mm (shield) x 1.7mm (pin) center positive connector ... identical to that of the original Sony PSP": https://www.elinux.org/CI20_Hardware#Power I'm not sure if either of these things are relevant here, though.
