Tiny Monitors?

Would something like THIS be able to work with MAME or interface to a computer?  Anyone used one of them for something like that before?

As long as you can provide composite video out I don't see why you would have a problem...  Here is a very similar product from Adafruit (not nearly as cheap) and it provides a little more info.  They look a little different but it seems like they're functionally the same; the Adafruit one has the same comment about having 2 video inputs and the first one takes priority...

For $22 shipped I might have to pick up the one you linked to though.  No immediate plans for it, but kinda cool.

So you don't think the lower resolution (320x240) would be an issue?  Let me know how it works if you pick one up.

Ah, you mean how PLAYABLE would it be...  that's a bit different than "will it work"...     Sorry, my misunderstanding.

Well, it's a 3.5" screen, and we're not talking retina display or anything, it's not gonna be anything amazing.  But the Game Boy Advance was I think 240 x 160, and I had a less-than-officially-licensed multicart that I got in Thailand that was running some sort of multi-game emulator (NES maybe), and for old-school games like pacman and galaga etc. it was very playable.  You could see some artifacts of the display being resized, it wasn't pixel perfect, but it was playable.  This thing at 320 x 240 has twice the resolution.  So...  depends on what you want to use it for.  If you wanted to play mostly old-school stuff on a 3.5" screen, I think it would be ok.

Isn't the screen resolution of many of the old school games less than 320 x 240?

Depends on your region really. That limitation really is a function of the dominate type of television sets in use at the time.
