so a found a gameboy advanced SP in my house and wondered can i use its screen, button pcb, battery and battery charging to make a pi zero? so what will be different is the "brain", well be replaced with the pi zero.
ive never worked with stuff like this and every screen , battery , or any electronic that i looked at doesnt ship to where i live

so because im out of resource i was wondering if the gameboy SP screen and other stuff will work with the pi zero

You can't use the LCD because it doesn't have a driver board that the Raspberry Pi can use. You have to replace it with an LCD that can be connected to with composite, HDMI, or VGA. The Gameboy SP is a very small case, it will not be easy but it isn't impossible.

i see well my problem is that every board or screen or any thing that i need for the big gameboy zero project wont ship to israel which is sad.
put could i use the battery of it and charging board?

Yes you can use the battery. Not sure about the charging board, but I don't think it's separate from the motherboard, so probably not.

so best bet is to ditch the motherboard all togther and not to try to solder on to the existing stuff that i need?
i was thinking of soldering to the 3.7v rail line and to the buttons lines, because that motherboard got every thing needed, a battery that can be charged, buttons and audio

I noticed my gameboy has this weird sound coming from it when its on. Even with the volume down it has like a static sound coming from the speaker. Any ideas on how to fix this?
