Using the original gameboy screen

[HUg0005]

Hi all,
I has a crazy idea to connect the raspberry pi zero to an original gameboy colour (or color for you Americans) screen. I have done some googling and found a blog where someone did it https://flashingleds.wordpress.com/2010 ... meboy-lcd/ but it has been taken down
Can anyone please help?

Not sure if this would help but an old save of the site can be viewed https://web.archive.org/web/20141115100 ... meboy-lcd/

That's certainly a novel idea, I would be interested to see where this goes.

I found a forum thread about the pin out of the ribbon cable connecting the screen. Anyone have any suggestions how I would go about connecting this to the raspberry pi zero. I was thinking using the GPIO.

Wonder if this github site helps https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki/LCD ... #generic18 its a list of displays and what gpio connector to connect the display wires to.

EDIT: I have found someone who has done it using an ardiuno! http://community.arduboy.com/t/arduboy-classic/293 It looks like i will have to use a arduino nano as a LCD controller.

EDIT: Or I could use a teensy instead of an arduino nano. I wonder which one is better.
