beginner looking for help

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.

for your question the anwser is kinda, yes you can use a gba or SP as a screen but yo9u have to keep it intact and use an AV adapter cart thing, they cost around 30$

I think you would find a Hip Gear screen to work best. GBC screens are designed only to work with the internals of the game boy. Unless you're Kevin Horton there's no way to re-use the screens.
