If I were to get one it'd have to be either pre-assembled or I'd have to get someone to put it together for me as I have zero soldering experience. Also, I know it'd cost more, but I think a higher res colour screen would be a nice option to have.

Thanks. I am going to offer hand assembly for those who are interested for a fee. Don't worry though. I am not going to charge much.
But, I was considering donating one hand assembly as a contest price to boost activity here a bit. The winner would still have to pay for parts+shipping though.
About the color screen, I have heared that a few times now. But this would mean starting from scratch and would also greatly increase power consumption and most importantly the price.

Nice little project. I've been meaning to try and build my own handheld myself, but I'm not even sure what kind of design I want to go for. I've considered Cortex-M devices, running custom software or possibly something like Tock, or implementing a retro architecture like a z80 or a 6502 on an FPGA and programming on top of that.
Anyway, best of luck. I hope this doesn't end up like the microcat did. :) You're aiming for something much more within your reach this time so there's no reason why you shouldn't succeed. :thumbsup:
