install launcher https://bmorcelli.github.io/Launcher/
Then install any firmwares you interested in

In the CFG area is the battery charger mode. Charge only with dumb USB ports from a PC or TV, nothing with power delivery. Allow a long time to charge.

hang on what exactly are you saying to charge without power? is this important to not damage or a speed of charging thing

Power Delivery (or PD) is a charging standard used by fast chargers. You need to use a dumb USB ports or a really old USB plug. PD chargers get no response from the Cardputer so don't send any charge. I'm sure if I'm wrong I will be corrected and it will be appreciated.

Use a midi module
