The video isnt working right on my PSone screen. the audio is working fine, but the video is all screwed up. You can see colors and see that its trying to show up, but it isnt. Any ideas as to what is wrong?

Could you take a pic? It'd probably help diagnose the issue.
Have you verified your connections? It might be that your wiring is too thin, or is really on the wrong pin (maybe off by 1?)

I have checked the connections, and they seem to be fine, also you can kind of make out the game but there is a ton of noise in the video...fuzzyness....and what do you mean by too thin of a wire? Is ribbon cable too thin? I will try to take pics if i can.

It could be, depending on what ribbon cable was used. Generally, the thinner the cable, the more chance for noise you have.
Also, you'd have to be careful to verify that the ribbon cable hasn't broken anywhere along the lines (you'd be better off using wire that's stranded and not a single piece).

You might try hooking up a few of the ribbon cable wires in parallel and see if that improves your signal.

are you using an NOAC or a regular nintendo? If you're using a regular nintendo did you make a video amp? I don't know about the NOAC's
