[dragonman101]

hey i am making a snesp and opened my snes original got the mobo out and desoldered the "multi a/v out", power jack, on/off switch (then jumped it), reset, and took off the rf box. could sumone send diagrams on getting l/r audio and connectin stuff 2 the screen and battery. also i kno it runs on 10 volts. any idea how to hook it up??? thx

This is for the screen

And the expansion Bay you can take off its not very fun though...

You can find better AV pinouts here: http://www.doomportables.gptheatre.co.uk/video.php

That way, you can get RGB instead of crappy composite on the SNESp you're building. (It isn't actually any harder to get, it just requires 3 extra wires to connect the screen to the SNES).

[dragonman101]

whats the difference between composite and rgb??? like is it better?? and is there an easier way without resistors??

[Sparkfist]

RGB is by far better then composite as you have a line for RED, GREEN, BLUE and sync, while composite has one line for all that. Its prefered that if you can get RGB out use it.

The use of the reisistors as far as I know is to better controll the signal strength and any spiking that could happen.

ummm on the doomportable hack it says 1 and 7 are audio... im using a original snes and i was told 11 and 12 were audio. on doom portables it says that 11 and 12 are blue and green. also what is the *sync* is that like the wire that connects them all to a certain spot. im not sure how to do this. do you just think i should use composite or could someone make a verryyyyy simple tutorial? thanks

Ah, well doomportables doesn't have the official pinouts, it treats the jack like you are looking at it from the front. Just think of it this way:

Jack:

Code: Select all

    |–|
/–––   –––\
| ------- |
\–––––––––/

Top row 1-6
Bottom row 7-12

So if you were looking at the bottom of a SNES board, it would be:

Code: Select all

(AV jack up here^)
7 8 9 101112
• • • • • •
• • • • • •
1 2 3 4 5 6

Oh, and sync is the stabilization of the picture on RGB. It is required for the screen to display a picture.

If you want to connect the SNES to a PSone screen with RGB, do this:



Using this diagram, connect pin "5" to the Csync input on the screen, connect pin "6" to the red in spot on the screen, connect pin "12" to the green in spot on the screen and pin "11" to the blue spot on the screen. Then connect the audio to the lower/leftmost spots on the screen. Tie the grounds together and you're ready to play!

i can figure out where to solder everything which wires and stuff.. could i just have a full pinout of the snes av-out. u said 11 and 12 were colors. i thought they were audio???? i have the screen pinout but i cant find an accurate snes original av out pinout. thank you all for your help

Just use composite on the website I posted above it goes with the numberings on the snes board.
It's here

I don't think you need RGB to make a 16 bit game better, I doub't its noticable or even if it is, desireable.
If you were making it out of a PS or higher I would suggest RGB but not this.

[dragonman101]

ok another thing. i finally connected all the wires to the new 7805. as u all know im using the snes1 and it has a power led. I put the molex connectors in the + an - holes but the led flickers and goes off. any sugguestions what to look for???? thanks

i used my analog multimeter on the led and it barely moved... better check connections..
