So, for those of you out there who, like myself, want to order the parts before the official guide comes out here is what I've been able to put together. Not trying to step on Wermy's toes or anything and I'm sure his list will be much better than this one but just to spark the conversation:

That's pretty close.

The reason I haven't put out a parts list yet is because I'm still trying a couple of options for a few things. The audio for example, I just got a couple of different USB sound cards that I've heard put out enough oomph to make a separate amplifier unnecessary (I'll be able to test it tonight or tomorrow). Also I've got a few smaller speaker options on the way that, if they sound good/loud enough, will let me rearrange a few things on the inside for the better. So I'd like to get these things nailed down before having people run out and buy a list of parts that could change (even if only a little).

For now, though, things that are pretty much nailed down:
• Pi 0 W
• Powerboost 500 (I'll do some more thorough testing but the whole thing came in under 500mA in some brief testing, meaning it should be able to charge and play at the same time. I'll test to make sure if that's a concern for folks)
• 1200mAh lipo battery from Adafruit
• DS Lite buttons/rubber pads
• And this is the screen I used: http://www.ebay.com/itm/252135075697?_t ... 2749.l2649

I got board dimensions for one of the 2.4" screens, and I really don't think it's going to be an option unless you forego the bezel.

Hope this helps for now.

Does anyone know if there is another place to purchase the screens? Checked the ebay link and all are gone

I know this is expected since we saw what happened to items for the GBZ. Haha

Please guide me and others if you have any other options!

I can't find that screen anywhere

I was able to get the screen Wermy posted from ebay.ca luckily, but it is now also sold out.

I also bought this one from aliexpress before he posted the link though...The one from aliexpress doesn't specify if the Driver IC is ILI9340 based though, and the seller was not helpful when I asked. It was cheap enough to buy one anyways. It shows 900+ available. But....It also shows 2.2" in the title, and 2.4" in the description, so i'm not sure what it actually is. The seller was also not helpful when I asked about that as well.

EDIT: it seems that this screen may not actually work, one extra chip on it, not sure how high it is, and the pin order does not match the planned PCB board. See the screen topic.
