Looking for LCD and screen cover for
First, I'd like to thank the community and sudomod for the Game Boy Zero project. From what i've seen online, it looks really amazing! So, I'd like to start my first GBZ build but needs some advice on where to buy the 3.5" LCD and screen cover. I've seen some 3.5" lcd on both ebay and aliexpress but not sure which one to buy. What about the screen cover, where can I buy one? Does not matter if its a plastic or glass cover as long as there's a border like the ones i've seen with the "Game Boy Zero"printed on top.

Re: Looking for LCD and screen cover for
check out kitchbent or handheld legend for screen covers. HHL has clear ones, while kitchbent has ones with the thin border, perfect for a GBZ.

I personally have bought this screen from gearbest (Ive used two), but I believe it can be found on ali express as well.

I have also used this screen once:
https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/ ... 0.0.KPvl9T
I prefer the screen from gearbest since it has a smaller driver board and is easier to fit, and much easier to buy, the one from alibaba has a better picture I think, but it isn't as easy to buy. Any screen from the wiki is probably okay, and i'm sure you can make almost any 3.5" screen work if you need to.

Do you have a link to the aliexpress 3.5" lcd you used on your first GBZ build?

Re: Looking for LCD and screen cover for
Ah. Sorry, i noticed I had a typo in my first GBZ thread. My first screen came from Alibaba. Not aliexpress. So it's the one in my second link posted above.

Thanks!
Is it the one that works on 5v without needing to modify?

Re: Looking for LCD and screen cover for
The one I received on alibaba did not need a 5v modification, but I had to request it to come that way., and the most recent one I received from gearbest also did not need a 5v mod.
