RGB issues

On my SNESp, I noticed that the screen keeps getting darker after about 30 minutes of gameplay. It gets to a point where everything is grayish tinted.

The circuit is as follows:

SNES---200microfarad caps(one for each line except sync & ground)----PSOne screen

Are the caps getting saturated after a short time? Should the size be increased? This problem is quite annoying.

Any Ideas?

Does it get hot after using it for extended periods? The connectors may be suffering from heat resistence. My old Micron laptop overheats after a while, and I think it's because when it overheats, it cannot pump data anymore through the intel chip...)

What part do you believe is getting hot---the wires?

hmm... is the lcd led modded?
Maybe you have them powered directly from the batteries instead of from the 5V output.

No, the LED mod did no good because the component short didn't work. I used a smaller florescent tube for less power consumption which is connected directly to the battery circuit.
