Awesome work! I'll have to make a posting about this at the Nomad Junkyard as (1) Nomad articles are hard to come by and (2) this is awesome. :D

Great job!

You should be able to. It really depends on how tight everything is in the GBA case. For the GBC it was a snug fit.

The screen looks awesome! Good job. Have you ever made a portable Dreamcast?

Um. Did you hit your head making a video Nathan? Is that why we haven't had a post from you in a while?

Be very careful. The majority of the 3.5" screens from Dealextreme do not work with older consoles like the Genesis. Also they have not been taken apart to see if they are thin enough to fit in the Nomad. The one I us is 3/8" thick altogether. Any more than that and it wouldn't fit. Even 1/2" thick won't fit.
