I've been following this project for a few years now and it's great to see how much you've learned and the changes you've applied along the way. It's my opinion that when you are creating a project and designing a board around another console or devices case, you should always strive to keep the final product looking as factory as possible from the outside. You've very much succeeded in that and you've done a fantastic job with this project to this point. I'm excited to see what else you have in store for it throughout your next revisions.

I really like the use of Compute Modules, as it in theory, make the device upgradable for the foreseeable future, and other board manufacturers also use the same design.

Not to mention it could be portable Linux machine with monitor, keyboard and mouse connected to it. RC li-po have lower energy density than standard li-ion/li-poly cells, would be beneficial to consider some non high discharge battery (even from safety reasons, RC li-po can get really crazy).
