I learned about these neat USB boards. I think I will use one in 9V mode for the Atari 7800 as an alternative means of powering it. It might fit in one of the existing cutouts.

Just search aliexpress for "pd trigger" and they're pretty common.

You can also get usb c to DC barrel jack cables, that come preconfigured for various voltages.

I actually used the DC barrel jack one to power some fans. Genuinely think that I was using too many words while searching aliexpress.

Found them now, guess they'll come in handy soon, thanks!
