Is it possible to use a Banana Pi Zero instead of a Raspberry Pi Zero? It should have the same size but a lot more power?

I've one more question:
I try to order all needed parts for the PCB. Is it needed, that the resistors have a tolerance of 0.1%? I'm from Europe and an order from Digikey is very expensive. Is it possible to get all these parts from Aliexpress too?
Not only it requires more power, banana pi need also active cooling

Thanks for the info...

I've another question:
Has anybody a actual shopping list for aliexpress? Digiverse orders Austria are to expensive so I want to order the parts from aliexpress. I've found a lot, but I need suggestions for the Micro-USB-connector and the battery.

Ok, I've found it... The project was renamed, so no link was working anymore.

hmm, can't seem to find one for the original Gaboze, might have to make your own, see the links. Use a base 4.4 image.

Screen set up:

Install retrogame using adafruits guide, and then see the proper values to add to the retroarch.cfg

Not sure if this is the best place to post this (necro necro necro lol)

So I finally decided to order more parts and build the round 2 boards (PCBs been sitting there a while).

Had a look on Aliexpress for the LCD and I can't find any listings of the 51 pin LCD around anymore!
Anyone have any leads on the LCD? Or is there a way to get the 30-something pin ones (seems like 36,37,38 pin variants) working on the board?

I also have the Pocket FE boards waiting to be built (yeah *finally* got the stuff like over a year later... ha - I think they use the same LCDs too =/)
