I’m waiting for a RPi zero, which I never used but I hope it’s fast enough, and the power consumption should be much lower than the RPi B I’m currently testing.
Also, it will probably fit into a game cartridge.

What did you do for the monitor? did you leave the 2.8″ exposed or did you put a glass in front of it? I’m considering enlarging the hole for the monitor so to fit a 2.8″, and going for a laser-cut plexiglass to replace the original GB glass.

For the case – I know it’s not as cute as the original one, but if you can’t find one: http://www.ebay.de/itm/OEM-Full-Housing-Shell-for-Nintendo-Gameboy-Classic-GB-DMG-Console-/401071468866?hash=item5d61b8f142:g:7yYAAOSwDuJWv8fs

nice, thanks a lot for your suggestion. I’m going to order it and give it a try.
Apparently the Nextion is just a HMI screen and it would be too slow for ca. 25fps.

How much play time can you squeeze out of the pimped-up gameboy? Once I’ll mount all the PCBs, I will try to find the biggest possible battery that fits in the case :)

will the tutorial by Phillip Burgess work for the 2.8″ sold by squirrel labs?
And does it fit inside the gameboy case, or did you have to cut the PCB?

I have this at home (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nextion-2-8-HMI-TFT-Touch-Screen-LCD-Display-Module-for-Arduino-Raspberry-Pi-/151888100615?rmvSB=true) but I am not sure if I can use it as a monitor, i.e. I’m trying to find info online if it can work as a standard monitor, or if it’s only to create +/- static GUIs in some programming language..
