Site where I get the screens:

The NES Micro uses the ALCD25L, the Phoenix is ALCD35L

Call, ask for Dan McKee. Tell him Ben Heckendorn referred you. Their prices are pretty good, considering it's a module that requires no hacking (unlike a little TV)

Oh and check this out:

Ok that's it for pics. Rest coming tomorrow night!

RE: how I made it this small. It uses a NOAC, which is really small. I wired the Famicom-NES adapter very small. The screen is small. The buttons are hollow.

And most important of all - I've been doing this for almost 6 years!

how do you make something that small!?! that's awesome. what NOAC did you use? I've been thinking of working on one myself, after I finish the regular NES version.

After getting an arcade cabinet made and I get an mp3 player, I'll probably consider something of this nature, using vacuforming.

Do the headphones mean there are no speakers?

I've seen something similar to those monitors on ebay. Here:
this looks useful too

They're all over ebay, because they ship from hong kong for like $40, but they sell them for $10. It ends up being cheaper than the other LCDs, but there's no LED backlight.

Wow! In the words of Bruce Almighty, it's b-e-a-utiful! What I'm wondering is what kind of battery would be small enough to fit in there and still give enough power!
Woah..there must be something like 6 layers if acrylic for the sides.
(I notice you bought a micro...for shame! :P )

Can't wait to see the story on it. Again, EXCELLENT job!
