Go with a Superjoy 3.

You can find them online and at local flea markets and the likes. They're the best documented here on this site, and they come with 76000 games in one (76 or so games repeated over and over). They're really simple, and really small.

My suggestion? Get a yobo. They're also really cheap, and small, and LEGAL because they don't have pirate games, and they already have a USA cart slot, and they're also well documented.

EW GOD NO!!!

I bought that screen for a project, and even SNES graphics were dumbed-down. It's heavy and bulky as hell too. And it's got a tangle of wires. Stay away from that screen.

well, I'm no expert, but from what I've read, Hip gear screen pads and ps1 screens are your best bet. Hip gear is 2.5" and ps1 is 5". They are both extraordinarally well documented too. Don't be lulled into buying a gamecube lcd by it's price. It made my beautiful atari 2600's graphics look bad. Imagine that.

Yeah, I used a PS1 screen, had a lot of luck with that. They seem to be very hardy too, I've done some nasty voltage mess ups on mine, and it's still ticking. I've had it survive more punishment than the average NOAC. Plus, it's a nice choice for NESp's because you need to have those huge carts anyways, why not have a big screen too?
