I don't think I can realistically use the LCD directly, but the other circuit board has only 7 pins as input, so 5 data pins at most. This seems like it could be done, though I doubt any documentation exists for the board.
What can a total newb like me do with this?
I don't think I'm alone in saying this: uhh, what?

"Free" achieved!
I installed Mint as dual boot over a year ago and the only reason I ever booted back was one game that didn't run quite well enough. Of course depending on your wants and needs it may vary, but you won't know until you give it a shot.
Dude just stop complaining and flash LibreDog on it. It's not that hard.
That would be working with the LCD directly, and ditching the rest. I ruled this out because the sheer amount of connections between the board and the display looked unmanageable. That documentation does look plenty detailed, of course. What would it take to get it running? Would an arduino/raspberry suffice?
Sorry for the stupid questions btw. I really know very little, but it would be great if I could learn enough to get this worlking!
