      6000mah battery pack with its 5v converter for charging and power distribution. From that there will be a switch inline and going to the power micro usb on the pi and the screen will be powered by GPIO

                i think no one ever looked at a wii u gamepad and said: "hmmmm, that would be a good retropie case"

                  @Redstoner Actually, as you can see above, I linked a video. Very very few did.
                  They used the Pi Zero and another I believe a PiB. One used a breakout boards and a Teensy 2.0 and the process was really long but t really pays off.
