@oliver I love the display please don't change that (unless it's a functionality/usability improvement)! heart

I'm currently testing the integration of a mono-like analog part and various styles of LED integration. The next prototype will have horizontal orientation.

PiTFT screens are pretty nice, 2.8", and 320x240 iirc so they could potentially work

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.

32 pixels. A dot matrix with stereo sound so to speak.

Wow, that's actually super cool. Not an LCD, but leds and a few 7 segments!

the next prototype, that i hope to have ready by end of next week, will have bare LED dots and digits behind a clear front panel. i'm not sure if the selected LEDs are diffused enough to look nice though. if they don't, i'll return to the matte diffusion screen.

it is indeed a piece of paper with a bunch of LEDs behind it.

I fully believe this is real and will be released, but the screen in that picture totally looks like a piece of paper! Maybe just a mock-up?

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
