I don't think 2.5" is really the right size. The one I looked at (http://adafruit.com/products/912) is just a fraction too small:

Time is running out on the project unfortunately. uXe needs approximately 95 more sponsors in ~ 37 hours to get his project underway.
Good luck uXe!
I think I feel the same as you. I have been using a dremel recently to do help cut back circuit boards. When doing the internals of the Gameboy, I have just been going at it slow with a knife, files...
Heh, you have brought back the spirit of Nyan Cat with you!

I have cut out a large section of the board. It was symmetrical and more of a wide T shape.
Oh well, thanks for looking into it anyway. If you get the chance to take pictures when you get back, I...
Retroman, these are pictures of the LCD Controller board I have cut back:

Retroman, thankyou, but unfortunately I need to know the position on the board. Perhaps I will have to take a picture to show you what I mean. Have fun in Japan :)
Retroman, not sure if you have the same LCD as me (I am hoping you do), but I was wondering if you could take a picture of the LCD controller board. I have been cutting mine down so as to fit it in...
Retroman, have you had any trouble fitting the ION Go controller into the Gameboy case with the Raspberry Pi?
Do you have any more updates? It's been such a long time since your last post, and a...
Wow, well done. Did you use the same LCD as Retroman? Looking forward to updates :)
Not sure if it helps, but i used a cheap knockoff dremel to cut out the main parts of the battery section, but then used a sharp pocket knife to make cut outs, slowly shave away the excess, and clean...
I have been busy with my Gameboy case. I have taken a heap of the plastic out. Just need to work out how I am attaching the battery cover though. I intend to leave it as a removable piece, but the...
It won't really work with the plastic protector over the LCD, but have you thought of getting a touch screen for it? Will the Overscan effect the positioning?
Amazing work! I was wondering how you were going to do the screen. I am glad you kept the stock looks, and just changed the overscan.
You will have to wire up a tiny red LED to the front now, and...
How difficult is it to use X in such a low resolution?
What screen do you have in mind for the final version?
That's going to be a tight fit. Are you going to be leaving the RPi as stock?
Do you have some plans for powering by batteries? Can you fit a mobile phone battery or two inside a game cartridge,...
I was hoping to do something very similar to what you have done. It will look awesome when it is completed.
I have been looking for a decent screen that will work without drivers, but that seems...
