As long as it's the Pi 0 retropie image, and you don't do anything weird with configuring the screen, then yes it should work fine.

Any that match that description will work. Search this thread and the mintyPi forum, lots of people have posted links to switches that will work.5mm tall including the actual button, 3.2mm tall without, 6.2 x 6.2mm base

Re: mintyPi 2.0 News & Updates
Got my parts from Helder today. Was testing the connections and it seems like my screen ribbon isn't really fitting right to the pcb board. Maybe I'm not doing it right, but when I pull out the black locking mechanism, slide the ribbon in and push it back lock it down, the ribbon just slides right out.
Anyone else having this issue?

Re: mintyPi 2.0 News & Updates
Yep, this is a known issue (to Helder and I, anyway). If you put a small strip of electrical tape on one side of the ribbon, it thickens it up just enough that it stays in place nice and snugly.Buiyah wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2017 8:56 pmGot my parts from Helder today.

I'm working on the guide right now, in which I'll show all the little gotchas such as this one.
Edit: The problem is finding connectors with that particular number of pins, in the correct pitch, proved to be pretty difficult, so we had to work with what we could find.

Just comparing the mintypi 2,4" screen with the original game boy screen:
Resolution:
Game boy & game boy colour --> 160x144
Minty pi 2.4"--> 320x240
Size:
Game Boy..........Game Boy Pocket.........Game Boy Color...........MintyPi 2.4"
4.7 x 4.3 cm.........4.8 x 4.4 cm...................4.4 x 4 cm......................6.0 x 4.3 cm
Colour:
Game Boy Color: 32,768 with a maximum amount of 56 at the same time in the screen.
MintyPi 2.4": 262K color
Correct me if i'm wrong. Thank you!
PS: sorry for those who do not use the metric system.

I also have no idea what I'm doing, so any help would be very apreciated
Re: mintyPi 2.0 News & Updates
I was wondering this myself. Thanks for doing the research. 2017 we put a SNES in an Altoids tin with a wider Gameboy screen. This project is my favorite of all the ones I've seen in the last month I've been researching on retro handheld mods. Next to someone 3D scanning retro handhelds and another person wanting reconfigure the button layout on a AGB to fit 4 buttons.Hoverfly wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 5:52 amJust comparing the mintypi 2,4" screen with the original game boy screen:

RaspberryPi Zero just went back on the market last week via Ada Fruit. I just got my shipping info from Helder. Time to order my soldering iron! Waiting on USB sound card and buttons parts from China. Still haven't decided on which power supply to use but hopefully once Wermy puts a video up, I'll get a better idea.
