[/spoiler] I wasn't able to use the raspberry pi since my usb hub broke . P.S. Does anyone know how to get rid of that white line at the bottom?

12/17/16 I burnt the screen. Today I had much success, I was able to load roms, I could ssh into my raspberry Pi, I was even able to get audio out though a usb audio device. But I screwed up trying to make the connection to the screen more permanent by replacing the connectors with jumper wires. A warning to anyone wanting to build this DO NOT CHANGE THE POWER CONNECTOR I burnt mine by confusing the polarity.
