Hey folks!
I had to put my (very, very, very early stage) build on hiatus for financial reasons, but now I've got a new job, I can start again. The job is going to involve some regular flights and hotel stays, and I'd like to use that time revisiting some old favourite games. What I really don't want is airport security going into lockdown because of a DIY console with a jury-rigged 18650 battery pack being mistaken for a really creative IED on an xray scanner and my hard work getting a visit by a remote detonation robot.
I've been thinking, and the only real solution I've got so far is to make a battery-less portable, which I can pair with some commercial, flight safe USB power banks, which would also have the advantage of making the console itself smaller/slimmer and not have to worry about charging/BMS circuitry, as that would be integrated into the power bank itself.
So, yeah. while I think that should be technically viable, I figure I should at least ask the forums if I'm not missing something stupidly obvious.
Thanks.
