Approximate battery voltage drop?

Well I wired it up and I got nothing. Here's a picture of how I had it wired. Please let me know if there is a problem with it. I tested and the N64 isn't fryed so it's either i'm not getting enough power from the adapter or my wiring is faulty.

Well, probably the car adapter isn't getting enough voltage. My car adapter in my n64 only works on 11V or higher.

You might consider using an LM2576 from National. (I should count how many times I've said that...

)

I moved back to my free TI regulator and carefully wiring everything I got a fairly steady 3.3v. So I think i'll stick with it, but since it needs 9v if I had 9.6 volts in batterys would it drop below 9v and cause irregular voltage or my system to shut down?

Never mind. I tested again and now the system will go into the game startup and the Goldeneye music will play and all but them as the Rareware logo spins the N64 restarts. Sometimes it won't even start so i'm assuming it's not receiving the 3.3v steady. How could I fix this?
