Re: Screen broken?
It has no operating system on it, so it cannot boot - and until it can boot, you'll see that screen.
Head over here: https://www.8bcraft.com/Retrostone-tutorial/
Do that, then boot your unit. It will have that same display for a few seconds (wait for it!) and then continue to boot.

Nah, not stupid. This device requires you have your wits about you and if you're unfamiliar with how Linux works (and how RetrorangePi handles their distribution requirements) then you're not likely to get it right on your first try.
Stick with it though, even with the screen the way it is this is a pretty powerful device. For a custom Pi3/PiZero device in a DMG gameboy case you can expect to pay at least double what you did for this. And this is more powerful than those.
...I do wish it had a better screen though. Waiting patiently for a modding guide
