The next prototype will have horizontal orientation.

I think it's near impossible to make a Game Boy clone with decent screen today because no matching displays are available. There may be some color LCDs that have a similar resolution, but typically there is some ugly upscaling going on. Simple b/w LCDs are usually just as dark as the original ones and I'm not aware of any near-square models with a Game Boy like resolution. Memory LCDs are beautiful but screen sizes and resolutions are nowhere near 160 x 144 / 2.6 inch either. E-paper looks even nicer, some models even have an almost matching resolution but they are too slow, even the fastest partial refresh rates hardly reach 2 fps, a full screen redraw still takes seconds. OLED would be perfect, but there is a gap between small panels of up to 1.5″ and 4″+ ones for smartphones. 2″-3″ OLEDs simply don't exist. Tooling for custom displays is very, very expensive and honestly I don't think hyperkin can do that.

imo there's just not really much to talk about until Olivier reveals something more.
He said that this is not a Zero project though.

i think he might make a thread there as well, someday

Uhm, what is a Zero project?
