LethalMeatball is coming out of retirement?!

Post by LethalMeatball »

Hey everyone, its true, I got side-tracked by playing World of Warcraft. BUT I want my SNESp to work!!!!!!

This was my last post before now:

"EVERYTHING IS WIRED! Only thing I dont have wired is my controller, and I dont believe that would halt my system from powering on. OK, so I have the battery hooked to a switch, which has: Battery, Off, Charging. When put on battery, with my Hipgear screen wired, the screen turns on. I then wired my super to it, and powered it on, but to no avail, it looked as if I was just powering the monitor again.

I have the 7805, off of the board, with the 123 pins wired on the board, to the 7805. Off of that, so it is actually wired to the snes. On lead 1, I have the 7805, the switch for the battery, and the monitor, all wired on it. On lead 2, all of the grounds, well, most, all but the audio and monitor (those are on the ground strip). And on lead 3, I have it hooked to the 7805, battery, and monitor. I have the cart slot relocated, and see no bridging of connections there. I have all the monitor wires and audio wires wired just like in ben's book, and I even tried what ben himself did. I tried flipping the cartridge around to see if I did that wrong.. but once again, that was not it. I will try to get pics or atleast Diagrams. If any input is available, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share it!!! I hope I can get this working, because this would be the coolest project anyone at school would have been Very Happy"

I am all wired according to Ladyada's pinouts, and have sufficient power to my system. The monitor powers on, but no video shows up. I would like to get it running, because its been probably a year since I really wanted to work on this! Help me out!!!

Have you grounded the audio and video lines for the SNES?
SNESp - 100%
Protable X - 15% - I need money :(

Read ben's book. It says that you need your controller wired for the SNES board to give feedback to the PSOne screen. If that doesn't work, check your grounds+audio-video wires (to make sure they're not mixed up). Did you wire it RGB or composite? Also, check the power going to the SNES board w/a multimeter. I doubt it's fried, but better safe then sorry.
