 +Yep- it's still pretty rough at this point. ​ It plays and sound is working (note the wall-wort plugged into an aux power outlet mounted to the side of the PC supply, necessary for the audio amp IC to work without gobs of switching noise).
 +
 +Top glass is likely next.

 +====== Pi ======
 +<​code>​
 +pi@pi ~ $ cat /​boot/​config.txt
 +# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "​safe"​ mode
 +#​hdmi_safe=1
 +
 +# uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
 +# and your display can output without overscan
 +#​disable_overscan=1
 +
 +# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
 +# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
 +#​overscan_left=16
 +#​overscan_right=16
 +#​overscan_top=16
 +#​overscan_bottom=16
 +
 +# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display'​s size minus
 +# overscan.
 +#​framebuffer_width=1280
 +#​framebuffer_height=1024
 +#​framebuffer_height=720
 +
 +# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
 +#​hdmi_force_hotplug=1
 +
 +# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
 +hdmi_group=2
 +hdmi_mode=35
 +
 +
 +# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
 +# DMT (computer monitor) modes
 +#​hdmi_drive=2
 +
 +# uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference,​ blanking, or
 +# no display
 +config_hdmi_boost=4
 +
 +# uncomment for composite PAL
 +#​sdtv_mode=2
 +
 +#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
 +#​arm_freq=800
 +
 +# for more options see http://​elinux.org/​RPi_config.txt
 +gpu_mem=16
 +</​code>​
 +
 +Unfortunately get a blank screen when trying to run Mame.  Found [[http://​tech.enekochan.com/​2013/​05/​28/​fix-black-screen-in-raspberry-pi-with-hdmi-to-vga-adapter/​|this link which includes]]:
 +<​code>​
 +disable_overscan=1
 +hdmi_group=2
 +hdmi_mode=35
 +hdmi_drive=2
 +</​code>​
 +
 +Latest problem is the PiMame distro (and the one from the Pi store) are too old a version to support mspacman. ​ Really need to find a way to get SDL mame going...  ​
