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.

Yes, they will all work, you just have to do a bit of hacking. And for future references:

Yes, any of those screens should work. Anything that takes composite in (red, white, and yellow RCA plugs) would work.
For batteries, Yes you would either NEED to run it off batteries or keep it plugged in all of the time.
There is a page on Portables of Doom that says what kind of screens can/cannot be used.

PSone screens don't need modding, but if you want any battery life you should LED mod it.

PSone screens are 5 inches and semi-expensive, to poor people like most of us here, the $30-$50 is a lot. Ben spends about $130 for 3.5 inch screens, so we can't complain too much.
EDIT: I've heard hip gear screens are pretty good, too.
