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 can't use a GBA screen. Forget about it.

Dude, you've been here long enough to know you need a special adapter (which is no longer made I hear) to use the screen. It's even in the sticky! Why, oh why, can't people understand that you can't use a GameBoy screen!

Nope, you can't. It involves some crazy electronics.
