BC-250
Building a budget gaming console out of an ASRock BC-250 crypto mining card. It runs Bazzite and Steam. This is my documentation, 3D printing files, source code, reference links, and other notes for this project. Bonus project: Wake from Controller!

Could you build this?
No This is a physical hardware project involving modifying cryptocurrency mining boards, custom 3D printing, BIOS/firmware flashing, and Linux kernel/driver hacking.
What it would actually take: Building this requires physical hardware prototyping, CAD/3D printing expertise, board-level electronics debugging, and low-level Linux kernel/driver configuration for non-standard GPU/APU mining hardware.
