1000uF is pretty big. its electrolytic right?... try a smaller one, or, even better, a tantalum one.

Yeah, I tried a 220uF and same results. This is really bugging me!
What is the problem with the TI regulator?

you have a cap on the output... theres one on the input too right?

i mean, if its affecting the REST of the circuit, we should be more concerned with that side of thigs.

Crap. Crap. C-rap. I powered the N64 off the wall outlet, and it looked perfect on the Psone screen ( which was running off 6 AA's) so it's definetly the N64 3.3Vconverter, not the wiring (although now that other people have the same problem that was obvious.)
Unfortunatly, I barely brushed my hand against the mobo. Now all I get is a black screen on the PSone display. Weird though, hooking it up to another screen I get changing colors, yellow to orange, etc. :? I'll check it this weekend, but I think it's fried. :( If it is, I'm done. I can't afford to buy a fourth N64.

This seems to be a Psone screen w/battery exclusive problem. Any other battery powered LCD I hooked it up to looked perfect.

btw, the NES part of the portable N64/NESp works perfect! ;)
