I am cheap

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.

Yeah, unless you are very lucky and you will likely need to look for a long time. And if you are poor before you even start the project, you likely will run out of money before you get far.

Check thriftstores for LCD screens that either are televisions themselves or attach to a game console. Chances are, if you search hard enough, you can pick one up for $20.

Mr Krabs: Did you two get paint all over me first dollar?
Spongebob & Patrick: We’re so sorry, Mr Krabs!
Mr Krabs: And then did you draw on it with crayon! (dollar is drawn on with green crayon)
Patrick: I thought, you know, maybe he’d buy it.
Mr Krabs: All right boys, you know what I’ve got to do now?
Spongebob: You mean our butts?
Patrick: Can I use mine one last time?
