I found a way to get a connector for my nesp a game genie but I dont like to throw the game genie away so i plan to wire it directly to a nes
I thought of making my nesp look like a nes in small with display and integrated controller

I'm fiddling with my NOAC right now. The one thing I've leared is don't mess with that big-gray-serial-cable-knockoff that holds the controller board to the connector board. Mine snapped off at the board and I spent a grueling session in surgery unsoldering the broken ends and the soldering in a new serial cable. I'd suggest laying on a thick layer of hot glue (it always does the trick for ben :D ) before messing with it.

for screen I would suggest using a hip gear screen, search ebay for "hip gear screen."

For case might I suggest vacuum forming, you can get sweet looking cases that way. It looks like you've put effort into this already, why not put extra effort in and build a vacuum form table, melt some plastic, and have a professional looking portable?

I can't afford vacuum forming I thought of doing it a new way. I'll cut plastic out of the middel of the original nes case then I'll use epoxy to put it back together (without the part cut out of the middel :) ) after that paint it in the original colours and drill holes for switches and Integrate every thing then I'm ready to play (I hope so)

Have a nice Day

Cool case. Somebody(can't remember users name) did this for his N64p. He just attached the controllers to the sides of the case.
