Hi Veteran
I bought a Pi zero W week ago and decide to try to make a Gameboy Zero instead of just sticking it into a arcade controller case.
I was looking for step-by-step tutorials for GBZ builds on you-tube and started with wermy's build. Unfortunately I've found your build after I ordered most of the parts from aliexpress, ebay, gearbest and OSHpark (no shipping fee Power Strip for GBZ).
I thought there are no working builds that are without massive amounts of glue, butchered case, electric tape and Gordian wires.
I'd really like to copy your build because aesthetically and functionally pleasing for me (best build so far).
Now I have these parts ordered:
Gameboy DMG case - aliexpress (plus gameboy plastic buttons, silicon rubber pads and case screen cover)

Stilll missing audio jack that would fit the gameboy case like yours does.
My main question is are there any HDMI displays available for purchase that can substitute your model used in this build that you know of?
Thanks in advance and thank your for sharing your project with me (it is the most eye pleasing I've seen so far).
