can you hook a game boy screen up to a ps2?

no. The picture processor talks to the screen directly, not through composite or RGB. If you know assembler language and have an extremely high proficiency with electronics, then you could make a decoder/encoder card, but the answer for the rest of us is no.

Look at http://www.doomportables.org/screens.php . They have a chart with all the screens and what systems they can be sucessfully used with.

so the only useable screen is a psone or TV screen to make a portable

AV Adapter (for Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP)

But you'd need the entire GBA AND add-on AND NES/SNES/whatever board/chip in a portable. More weight and less battery life, right?

Another alternative is an automotive LCD screen (12V screen for in a car) and a custom sound circuit.

Or hipgear/Intec screen pad. Just use the chart, it's easier.
