What do y'all think is the best screen size for a landscape orientation SNESp?

Well the PS1 screen is pretty decent in size (5").

How big would the sprites (on SNES) be on a 4 inch screen?

Well in Ben's book he even uses a 3-inch screen, so I imagine that 4 inches won't be too small..

I'm sure you could use ratios and math to figure this out... :? :? :?:

Believe me, 5" is plenty big enough, as is 4". GBA is only 2.5" or so and that's fine for most games. A sprite would be 16pixels/256pixels per line * 4" = 0.25", which is not all that small. I'll take a picture with my SNESp sometime to show something like Final Fantasy 4, once I get more of it built.
