Screen Problem

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

Mhm, I say it's not getting enough amperage. Might be the battery, might be the 7805 (if you've attached anything else to it)

That doesn't mean too much. How much amps is your PSU?

it might also be a too thin ground/power wire

I've had that before as well. Took me a while to figure out.

That is probably it. 1.2A is probably just barely not enough, 2A should power it without a problem.
