Well are you using the 7805 direct input? Then it wouldn't work. Not unless the 7805 would be bypassed. But onless you got another regulator
most batteries would frie it.

Edit: clearer version did you bypass the 7805 of the snes and use another 7805. Or did you bypass nothing and used a 7805? In that case you need too bypass your snes 7805.

Wouldn't work unless you bypassed the 7805 regulator on the snes.

10 volts is to much for that screen try a 7.2 RC battery or even some AAs
