my brain is hurting and i cant seem to figure this out. on my snes mini portable ive got all my wiring done but im having a problem with the switches. im using a DPDT for the a/v out. whats the best way to wire it up so that i can switch it to use the TV and turn off the LCD so i dont waste my batteries? if you dont mind using the numbers from my diagram below it would make it much easier.

Assuming you're using a separate 7805 for the SNES and not drawing 5v for it from the screen (if you're using a PSOne screen), then really all you need is a SPST switch for the screen's power. Just flick the switch if you don't want the screen on, but the AV jacks still have a signal going to them whether you're using them or not. It won't hurt anything.
Does that make sense?
