what does the pen method involve?

the old n64 is dead to me, mostly i can't run it and never had the adaptor. so im getting a new one tomorrow, with which i shall do battle, using a new strategy. my family USED to go on vacation a lot, so we have this random thing used in the car:

how do you tell if your n64 is fried? because i have NEVER been able to power it.

ok, i'll try that.

middle pin? i used a car adaptor and it just puts out two lines.

ok, still not working. i have +12v and +3v hooked up to 6 and 3, and then a wire hooked from 4 to the strip of metal on the outside of the motherboard. yet the screen still only flickers (the screen, running off of its own power source. what am i doing wrong?

wait...are you talking about what the wiring will look like AFTER putting it through a screen? because i'm not using the PS1 screen im using a 6.8 inch madcatz lcd.

so the final wiring might look like this?

thank you for clearing that up, sir.

ok, sorry if im annoying you guys, but i need to make sure im not making a mistake before i assume my n64 fried and go get another one (keep in mind I don't have an adaptor to test)

heres my set up so far...

i need to know which of ...

ok when i hook up 12v+ and the two 3.3v+, then i touch the 12v- to each of the three gorund wires in turn, they spark slightly which means NOT GOOd. waht am i doign wrong?

the 6 power wires going into the n64.

im giving this n64p tyhing one more try before i give up on the 3 power circuit crap and fall back on my DS. does ANYBODY know which of 6 lines connect to each other>? my multitester is new and it says they all short. so, help! please!

sorry, i have no clue what voltages go to what, seeing as on the inside two lines are labeled as "12v" but you guys say there is only one. AND, i don't have an adaptor.

ok so i figured out what oyu mean by pins. what numbers are what voltage?
