Hello everyone!

I'm making a custom rpi 3 gameboy as my school project, and the only thing i'm missing is the screen. (bought the Adafruit pitft 3.5 first, which sucked :cry: ) Which one of these should i buy and would have the least trouble with? (these are the only ones i can get shipped to Finland i think) I don't have much time left, please help!

I recomend you this one

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00JXB ... UTF8&psc=1

I bought it from Austria and was very soon at home (i live in Austria)
the board is really simple and it works already at 5v.

Only problem is that it is a little wide dough... you will have to dremmel a little the sides of it... besides that works perfect

If you still have the Adafruit display, I might be willing to buy it from you. I bought the cheap clone of it from LANDZO and the SPI speed is <16Mhz. I've been told by Notro that the Adafruit screen can handle 32Mhz SPI speed. Email me if you still have it (bitbank@pobox.com).

Use the gearbest screen, you should find it easy to convert to 5v in the forums
