You got your HDMI cable in upside down! :lol
I guess there is no way to reverse it in the software? Big fan of Comic Book Theme.

Nailed it!

I fixed it... looks good but holy crap it is going to be difficult cramming everything inside of the cabinet. I can't bunch wires at all - I've been just cutting them as short as possible and reattaching the USB/headphone/whatever to the end to save space. My soldering and wire management skills are lacking so it looks like a 2nd grade art project in there... electrical tape all over the place!
I also think I need to build a shelf out of 1/4" MDF or something to get some more surfaces to mounts stuff to. Not sure how I'm going to make it all fit and I haven't even thought about the iPAC and the ServoStik PCB.
I like the comic book theme but not for this project I think. It clashes big time with the theme of the cabinet. Plus, I HATE how all Retropie themes have ABXY labels like everyone is just using a SNES controller. I'm trying to find something extremely simple - mostly text based so that it blends into the rest o the cab. If I had any skills at all I'd try to make my own but I am terrible with computers.

It's funny in hindsight but time is so precious and to waste an hour was painful!

This is hilarious. I hope you had a sensible chuckle out of it.
Reminds me of that time I put the hinges of my bedroom backwards.

He would chuckle, but that probably set him back 6 years.
