pi3 or pi4

pi3 has std hdmi on it. pi3 probably uses lower batery power so might last longer.

HDMI

Can we use HDMI out? I read somewhere that sound still does not come out HDMI? There are different img files somehwere. Need to research which set of Images I should use.

Internal Bezel Art

The Donkey Kong Kit comes with bezel art for external window but not internal Bezel. No one else put anything there on the inside bezel around display. Just leave it black. Probably makes the screen pop better anyway.

sd card extender

The kit comes with a long sd card ribbon cable extender. Kind of wondering if I should bother with it. As glen mentioned in a video, interference can cause slow bad performance if ribbon cable is routed incorrectly. Am I really going to want to change out the sd card? For loading/changing files I can just use wifi. It does appear the sd card port is blocked by Video ribbon cable so I think we should put it in just in case.

Coin Door Button

For some reason the top left Coin door button keeps getting stuck. It seems to be clicky when coin door is not squeezed in unit. Sure enough the top left platic latch when squeezed down seems to somehow block the button and make it get stuck. Anyway Pushing the top left corner of the door in seems to release the top left button so I can click it again. If this gets annoying might email glen to if possible to fix. Will wait until for now, since there seems to be a strange work around. https://www.facebook.com/groups/buildacade/posts/501237898625270
