I am tired of coming to my odin 2 mini while putting it on a charger in retroarch, and having it blistering hot since Retroarch decides to keep the screen on and cause my device to overheat. Why can't Retroarch respect the universal screen off settings? How do you force Retroarch to respect your System Settings? And I don't want to hear, just "make sure you're not in the app." That's not an answer. Fix this Retroarch.

I have 4 GPD Win Max products, 2 7840Us (Win Max 2 and Win 4), 2 6800Us (Win Max 2 and Win 4). The latter Win Max 2, experienced a spicy pillow situation since apparently, not the best charging protocol on these devices. I was using it in my bedroom as a bedside PC, kept it plugged in the whole time, and that's when the battery expanded and pooped itself. I annoyingly found out, you can't use that device without the battery in it.

So, any electrical engineers and hackers out there, know how to bypass that? I removed the Cells, and still have the contact points, so it looks something like this:

GPD WIN MAX 2022 6800U

Win Max 2 Bridging

That's what it looks like inside. 8 Contact points for the cells.

If I bridge it like this, with the bottom red and blue (Positive, Negative Respectively) bridged, would that work? Red to Red, Blue to Blue; TOP. Red to Red, Blue to Blue, Bottom Red to Bottom Blue Bridge; BOTTOM. I want to use this PC for internet stuff, not gaming, since it doesn't have the Oculink port in it, but for my bedroom porn PC, there I said it. It uses less energy than the mini PC I'm using and has all the necessary ports in it as well. Plus a second or primary screen if wanted. Also the AceMagic miniPC doesn't allow power over USB C.
