I'm figuring out if I could build a Raspberry pi portable of my own and I need a little help with the screen.
I was planning on using GPIO pins for the controller, so I don't have to fit a USB controller's board in there. This means I most likely have to use the HDMI port for the screen.
The question is, how to power it all up? Can I get power through the GPIO ports or should I solder them paraller to the load port of the charger?
I'm using Pi Model A+ (because of analog audio)
Most likely this screen: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2016-NEW-5-inch-Resistive-Touch-Screen-LCD-Display-HDMI-for-Raspberry-Pi-XPT2046-/262248667916

Thinking of Pi laptop thing, getting a little crazy with conflicting goals. Anyway my digging gave me this, should be helpful to you.

if you dig around more, I think they have an older version for your specific model.

go away, no cucks allowed!
coming here with raspberry pi bullshit is one thing, but trying to make a knockoff gameboy and putting a feminist spin on it is crossing the line.

Why are you trying to make this difficult? The screen fits right on the Pi, and running a game board through the GPIOs is a mess.

What kind of controller are you picturing here?

Try and read the data sheet. All Pi models have the same low quality analog audio out as well as HDMI and the option to connect a USB D/A converter. The only exception is the Rev. 1 boards and they're no good. The only reason for a Pi 1 is power, it uses less than half of what the Pi 3 uses.
