Weird color on pocket tv

When I use my Noac on my Pocket TV, the color looks a little weird. For example, anything that should be tan colored is pink. Also, everything has this fuzzy look to it. I'm not sure, but I think this is what people call dot crawl. Is there anything I can do to fix these problems. Would boosting the video with a transistor help?

How old is your pocket tv? Many old LCD's have bad color problems like what you just said. My first SNESp had a piece of crap ten year old screen in it. When playing Mario World, Mario would be mostly pink instead of red. Is your composite wire shielded? If not, it can cause lots of problems.

My tv is the casio ev-680, which is pretty new. No, my composite wire isn't shielded. But the wire isn't very long, so I don't know if that's it...

YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It works! It turns out, the video signal was too weak. I boosted it with a transistor, and now it works great!

(I'm really glad I bought Ben's book. It has come in really handy. I'm also glad he used drawings for his circuits and not those complicated schematics I can never understand.
