So at this point Im planning om ordering a screen.
I have checked the forums and the wiki on what screen would be best.

At this point Im interested in the 'noname emarket666 3.5 composite display' as the wiki states it is 5v compatible out of the box. I'd like to do as less as poaaoble on screen mods etc (thats why im avoiding the BW screen since there are 7+ versions).

So now my question is, is there anyone here who has used that screen?

Everything that comes mounted in a case is a lottery ticket. I ordered this screen and received something totally different. The board was too wide to fit in the Game Boy case and the screen itself was bad quality. If you want to be on the save side, you should order a screen without casing.

Gearbest one for example. I think plenty of people have ordered that one, and modded for 5v without problem.

So it has been a long while since i posted or visited this site.
Been too busu with school to focus on this project. Since im still willing to make this build complete and working i wanna know what i am missing (i started when only the first build video of Wermy was uploaded, so id like to finish it that way).

I got the following:
- Soldering equipment.
- A voltage meter.
- Glue gun.
- Electrical Tape.
- Hand power tool.
- 3-wing screwdriver.
- 2 Working USB hubs.

- 2 Pi Zero
- Buttons + Holders + rubbers
- Gameboy Zero PCB + stickers.
- SD Card Cartridge + fake gameboy cartridge.
- Teensy (wired and programmed by a member from this forum)
- 1m Black and 1m Red 22awg wires.
- Plenty 28 awg wires.
- A dirty, but working gameboy (screen died).

Now what are the parts i need to buy. That way i can start it asap

Best option might be to buy an empty reproduction case, that is what most of us did.
