I remember years ago you needed a regulated power-pack kinda thing to
do this but I was wondering if that's still the case today?

This is true nowadays. You need a regulated powerful enough 12V
power source to run equipment designed to run on car power.
The sutiable voltage range to those equipment is 12-13.8V

Like
maybe some kind of AC adapter that will let you run something that
normally runs of 12 volts DC neg. ground.

There are many powerful 12V power supplier available.
For example HAMs and other radio operators use then
often to power their radios. Suitable electronics
component/equipment supper should be able to sell you one.
