digital camera screen help

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

No you need a Analog Screen the ones in cameras are digital

get a Hip screen Pad or a Psone screen

damn is there no way i could do this because i want a very small screen so it would fit in between the top of the start and select buttons to before the grey part of the nes controller starts and i would be using a noac not a real nintendo (sorry should have mentioned that earlier)

Dont try. Its not impossible, just really difficult. Really REALLY difficult. Unless you know a lot about encoders, bit registers, multiplexers, shift registers, ADC, and how to fabricate really NICE looking circuit boards, just forget about it. You are better of just getting a composite LCD screen that was designed to hook up to a console. There are 2.5" LCD screens that are built into controllers, try and find one.
