Thought so. Have had issues in the past of trying to power some of these ARM boards from a PC USB port or a power brick "supposedly" able to handle the requirements.

Want to get my CD-10 Mini mod complete to try a project I came across earlier from "Retro Recipes" of her building something called a Callisto retro. Was interesting...but also came across the plans to build a mini-PET with working screen running RetroPie. Instead of using an RPi 3+ I have...thought about using a RPi Zero W to run emulators up to the late 90's...like the N64 & on up.

Even thought about using some of the wood filament I have to make the case out of wood. Be a one of a kind of retro no one else has. Would be different.
