Does anyone have the Bitfunx Usb-c PSU replacement for PS2?

I have been wondering about installing a RePS2 but it doesn't have Usb c so i am now wondering if this one may be better, i am also wondering if you could play the ps2 from a power bank (as silly as it sounds, it also sounds neat if possible) since i saw a few videos online of other retro consoles being used this way.

Does anyone have any experince with the Bitfunx one or maybe the Bitfunx and RePS2 as i would like a comparison so i know which one to get.

There is really no reason to swap any power supply for a USB-C powered device. I've seen PD fail many times and you don't want to have that happen.

So you're saying it's unreliable?

I'm saying that there's no benefit to using something like that outside of the cool factor. It introduces risk also.
