Finally gave myself some time to work on this.
Screen has been modified to work with 5v, this is the end result:

Soldered to the Pi:

After I soldered it to the Pi all I got was a white screen, solved it by soldering a ground cable into the pi tv input, figured it was just ground and wouldn't need it but apparently you do:

It's running off a 2800mah power amp

Up next, getting neo-geo to recognize my input and finally start cutting away the dmg case to fit the stuff.

Btw, the case has been washed and treated with that hair dyeing thing, had a bottle of 30vol from when the GF used to dye her hair red and used that, results were acceptable

Didn't use the red dye, just the developer I had laying around, it did clear up the yellow but not as much, not gonna mess with it any longer since I'm pretty sure I might mess up this case

Have you tried throwing it through a cycle in the dishwasher yet? Just turn off the heated drying (or pull it out before that).
