Help needed, custom lcd

Post by Senliv » Sat Mar 02, 2019 3:06 pm

I'm putting together my first build, a gameboy zero in a gameboy pocket shell (never been a fan of the DMG) and I'm trying to find the right screen. It seems like the simplest option would be to use a 2.5" screen from adafruit but the size difference between that and the gameboy pocket display area is not preferable. I've been looking on Alibaba and I found a 2.8 inch screen that would be perfect however it is just the screen without a control board. I want to know how to find a control board that would work with the screen.

Excuse me if I'm leaving out any information or if my question is unclear this is all very new to me.

This screen is what I have used in the past and will work with the osh park board. I assume the Alibaba one is similar.
