Anyone familiar with the Thrustmaster PSone screen?

Hi!

I recently bought a Thrustmaster screenmate PSone screen, which I (hopefully , if I get it to work) will be using in my first portable.

But. I can't get any image on the screen. Composite that is.

I know with the Sony screen you can connect the cables directly to the 2 pin slots on the pcb,
but since this has a different layout, I'm currently using the original A/V jack you connect to the console. Should work, right?

Following http://www.gamesx.com/avpinouts/psxav.htm, I have connected it like this:

Does it look right? The video source is currently a PAL Wii with composite cable.

I´m getting sound, but no picture.
When the screen is turned on you can see light and dark vertical areas moving up and down on the screen.
When I connect the video, the areas stop moving, but nothing more.

What do you think?

Thanks!

FIXED!

If anyone's intrested, it turns out this screen does'nt seem to accept composite video,and since I don't have a RGB cable, I made my own:

High quality stuff!

just need to adjust the image a bit. A bit more color and contrast would be nice

Holy flax that AV cable is welfare. Did you carve it out of foam?

Yep, made it out of a block of dense polyurethane foam I had lying around
Almost as versitile as duct tape

Where do you get that stuff?

I got it from my old school, which I think got/bought scrap pieces of it from a local company,
as whole blocks are quite expensive.
I think it's actally called "rigid polyurethane foam" and comes in various densities.

I'm not entirely sure, but a lot of companies working with prototype manufacturing
and stuff like that could have smaller pieces they don't need.

Looks like it might be good for vac-forming molds.

Is this screen the same as Thrustmaster's GameCube screen?
Because I've ordered one!

It should work quite well I guess. It's easy to cut and sand, and with the denser ones you can get a good amount of detail.
Not sure how much heat it can handle though...
I've never done any vac-forming so I don't know how hot it gets

Got any pictures of it?
I like this screen because it's got separate pcbs which makes it easier to fit in a case.
