I was just wondering if anyone knows of any cheap color LCD’s which have a resolution of at least 160×144 pixels and can do at least 16-bit color. It would be nice if the aspect ratio is close 160:144 (which is almost square.) I found some LCD with touch screen over at rftechworld.com but it’s 240×320 pixels and comes with an extra touch screen which I wouldn’t need. It also costs around $14, and I was hoping to be able to find something useful for cheaper! 
P.S.: Is there even any interest for FPGABoy to have an LCD? I know one or two people have said it would be cool. Perhaps it can be an “optional” add-on, with VGA or NTSC as the alternatives. I have a few pretty neat ideas which will make FPGABoy much more than a boring Gameboy clone, but will wait until they are at least partially implemented until I rant about them. Hehehehe.

240×160
both are near $15… i might be difficult to find something with that exact ratio…
I think vga would be good enough to begin with. That’s not to say LCD wouldn’t be awesome in the future.
I would love it with an LCD! I’ve recently found this project and read that you planned to use a GCN controller, why not use a NES controller? I has the same layout, or the SNES just in case you want to implement something else with the extra keys.
Thanks for preserving the ol’ classic Game Boy.
There is a 160×160 color lcd:

But it is from Germany.
Hmmm…The reason I am currently using a GameCube controller is just because that was what I had sitting in front of me at the time. Plus it’s a 3-wire interface, so it only requires a single I/O pin. I know that NES and SNES controllers are much more similar to the GB button layout, though, so I will add support for them in the future. PS/2 keyboard support will also probably be added as it is rather easy to implement and may be useful.
Hmmm.. That 160×160 screen looks appropriate, except they don’t even have a price. Plus as you said, it’s from Germany. I would really prefer a distributer within the USA.
I am form Germany too. I try to get some samples and more informations about the Displays.
Costis, how can I contact you?
