looking back through twitter, the screen is an ili9341 as in the guide in my signature.

and to save space, i would assume gpio is used for the buttons
Thanks for the info. The original screen was 2.2", in the video he said the new version's screen is bigger.
they do the ili9341 screen in 2.2", 2.4", and 2.8" flavours!!

I think it will be the 2.4" size. The 2.8" is a hair too long I believe. (with the pcb behind it).

It's the 2.2 actually. The first one I did was 2". That 0.2" may not sound like a lot, but it's 10% bigger than the first screen I used, and seems much bigger when you put them side by side:

2.4" might fit though, I'll have to look into it. :)

Awesome Project. This is exactly what I was looking for. A parts list would really help so I can get things ordered. I understand you have a ton of work on your awesome videos, so it might be a wile before you release all the build info. I just know that it takes a wile for me to find parts sometimes and would like to get a head start so when you do release the video/instructions I can start working.

Again super awesome! Thanks for all your work.

I'll post a parts list soon. There are a couple of parts that I want to try out cheaper alternatives for first. :)

Could these buttons work? ;)

Unfortunately no, I did mine with DS Lite buttons which are slightly different and use the silicone membrane rather than clicky tactile switches.

I see. But couldn't i use these over the conductive pads? Or are they too large/small in size?

Could also see using the 3DS analog stick, but maybe thats asking for too much :lol:
