Hooray it's done! - with the wiring of it at least

only one problem....when we turn it on, the screen is a little wavy once in a while - could this be because a cart slot wire is loosely connected or something else is loosely connected?

UPDATE: it suddenly wont turn on anymore

well, actually thats wrong...it wont show a game
-we tested the screen with the volume and brightness buttons and that works fine
-we tested the N64 and the red LED is on and is fine
but when we turn it on the thing shows nothing and makes a low kind of buzzing sound
-were going to check the game slot pin connections and see if those are fine, but last time we check they were

but is there anything else that could cause this?
any suggestions would be fine. THANKS!!

lol, not quite

we are going to begin molding a case out of clay similar to the L64 and then vac form it

sometimes the n64 motherboard being close the the screen can cause those wavy lines.

Or perhaps the switching regulator...

Try plugging the game in the other way. It sounds stupid but it's happened before.
