Can someone edit the wiki? I ordered this screen: http://sudomod.com/wiki/index.php?title ... te_Display
I got this board with it:

They change their boards from time to time. Please do not just remove old pictures or information in the wiki.

Still, this should be doable. You can cut off the sides, as there is nothing on the right side and on the left, there are only those buttons.
You can cut them off and resolder them later with wires.
But use a torch to look through the board for traces.
At least this is a solution if you were concerned about the size of the board being too big.

And what about the 5V part? Should I just hook it up and see if it already runs on 5V? Has anybody used this board in a build already?

edit: Remembered where I've seen this board already and it was in wermys guide on screens. This display has problems with some games and "horrible ghosting": http://sudomod.com/game-boy-zero-screen-alternatives/

I hope you find the answer you need, I may have the same display as you.

I had an idea after seeing this display here:

We could make a "half" size GB Zero only the half bottom, and the just plug or fold open this screen... it seems expensive but it works with 5v and it seems to be higher resolution than other 3.5 tfts...


I have seen a 3.5 inch version of it too, but no actual details on its resolution:

Yeah, just tried it and it worked, but the quality is horrible. I ordered myself one of the 640x480 displays, hoping that this will be bearable.

What do you think about this display?

It says it's 640x480, but the price makes me doubt.

I don't think it is true, if it were in a different case then maybe. Arn't all these screens the same resolution?
