hey, I'm kind of new to this. I have been reading the threads here for a long while and feel that I am ready to start building my own Wii portable. I have never used a soldering iron before, but I am ready to learn. I need to get the parts to start building it. I Don't think I own anything needed to make one, except for the Wii console. I am tracking down the parts needed to build it and would like to know if this is everything a beginner would need to get it built.
I also have screws, screw drivers(including tri-wing), an xacto knife, a dremel, wire cutters/strippers, and a 3d printer.
1. I need a copper plate 35x70mm to go with the fan and heatsink. how thick should it be?
2. is this everything I would need? are these all the right parts?
3. I know I want a 5" screen, but idk if I should get one that is 4:3 or 16:9
4. All of the screens I'm finding seem to use the same board. Is there a way to make this run off of 3.3v or 5v? how do you find out how to make a board run off of 3.3v or 5v? If this can't work is there a screen you could suggest that has a board that can run off of 3.3v or 5v?
screen - data sheet?
5. should I get the usb-c charge port from the bitbuilt store https://store.bitbuilt.net/usb-c-pd-charging-internal-usb-drive/ or is there a cheaper way to charge it safely

in GingerOfOz's Louii worklog someone asked what screen to use and eggbowl replied with a parts list and said that any 5" screen with this board would work
