Am I correct in thinking that if I have so far wired my game right with the exception of the CP and just the two pin audio, I should see at least video RIGHT??????

I have everything else wired up so I would assume I could at least see the game, I even added batteries to the board checked all the roms, and yet nothing but a somewhat blue/purple screen. Any thoughts? I bought the board working but not sure now..
 
Ummm its in an upright and i dont think so..i think the SMB chips are just on one side.

I checked other images of working boards and mine looks the same chips/roms and all.

Things to check:
1. Voltages
2. Is Vs. SMB on the correct side?
3. Vs. SMB requires either a rp2a04 or a small wire hack to run
4. F' the batteries
 
ditto on the SMB needing that other special CPU or another RP2A03 in that slot. Purple screens usually means bad cpu or ppu. In your case, not having that other CPU can cause that. Post up what you find!
