Hi, I have one of those AliExpress USB-C boards lying around and a Game Gear that still uses AA batteries. I know these boards are not the best option, but it's what I've got. The only issue is, I can't seem to find any instructions for them. The board is marked '2S,' which would suggest you need to wire the batteries in series, but it also has two separate pairs of terminals to solder the batteries to. So, how is this supposed to be wired up? I don't want to fry anything on the Game Gear.

EDIT: SOLVED! SOLUTION POSTED BELOW. OK, I'm tearing my hair out over this one and I just can't figure it out. I have a strokes that overlaps itslef. But the overlaps are supposed to look like a knot so I need to place certain parts of the stroke underneath other parts. The issue is if I cut the stroke, the gradient resets because it runs allong the path. If I expand the stroke, I get a gradient mesh that I can't cut to place the cuts underneath. If I use a mask, I mask out the top and bottom part of the intersection. Intertwine does not work. Or rather, I can turn it on but it does nothing.

For instance, the very top intersection. The part that's now runing underneath, needs to be on top.
