NEED HELP WITH SNESp!!!

Post by LethalMeatball »

Yes, its true, I have failed in getting it to work the first go around. I am sad. :( BUT! I must see if anyone has any remedies. I will try to explain, and maybe add pics later.

EVERYTHING IS WIRED! Only thing I dont have wired is my controller, and I dont believe that would halt my system from powering on. OK, so I have the battery hooked to a switch, which has: Battery, Off, Charging. When put on battery, with my Hipgear screen wired, the screen turns on. I then wired my super to it, and powered it on, but to no avail, it looked as if I was just powering the monitor again.

I have the 7805, off of the board, with the 123 pins wired on the board, to the 7805. Off of that, so it is actually wired to the snes. On lead 1, I have the 7805, the switch for the battery, and the monitor, all wired on it. On lead 2, all of the grounds, well, most, all but the audio and monitor (those are on the ground strip). And on lead 3, I have it hooked to the 7805, battery, and monitor. I have the cart slot relocated, and see no bridging of connections there. I have all the monitor wires and audio wires wired just like in ben's book, and I even tried what ben himself did. I tried flipping the cartridge around to see if I did that wrong.. but once again, that was not it. I will try to get pics or atleast Diagrams. If any input is available, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share it!!! I hope I can get this working, because this would be the coolest project anyone at school would have seen :D

Also, Ben said that using the 7805 from the SNES board sometimes causes a SNESp to display nothing but a screen of static (pocket TV). Try buying a new one, it could save you some time. Also, if you're using an LED-modded PSone screen, just power the SNES from the upper 7805 on the screen.

make sure you have the audio/video grounded(pins 5 and 6 on the SNES multi-out). I was getting the same stuff as you, and that was the exact reason.
SNESp - 100%
Protable X - 15% - I need money :(
