I am planning to make a wii portable inside a gba, and i wanted to use this screen: https://www.freeplaytech.com/product/freeplay-replacement-lcd/

It is a 3.2 inch raspberry pi screen. is it possible to use it?

I only found 3.2 inch screens that are used in raspberry pi's and i don't know if it supports composite from the wii. If they don't work, are there any other screens i could use?

Pi screens generally aren't a great idea, just because the inputs they take in tend to be pi only. Some of them do take in composite, but often times the display doesn't work quite right with Wiis or other non-Pi devices. The smallest screens that come in usable form are 3.5 inch screens, with few exceptions. It looks like the GBA screen was smaller than that, so you may want to consider tweaking your idea for a case. Also, the GBA has less space inside of it then you might think, so modeling and 3D printing a case with a similar layout would probably be your best option for this portable.

Yeah nah. 3.5 inch composite reverse monitors on ebay are more suitable for that purpose. And I'm worry, but you'll never fit a Wii in a GBA shell of any kind. Unless you meant a GBA carrying case, those are certainly possible.
