Well, I’ll bet you a nickel it runs on some kind of minimal Linux environment and uses open source emulators in violation of the GPL and/or whatever other licenses they have. So there’ll be that, I’m sure. But I see your point.
I’d also guess that it runs linux. But likely in a very closed, proprietary way.
Maybe this device can be jailbroken and used for other purposes … but apart from the interesting controller, I’d rather pick a device that can run the OS of my choice without much hassle.
I don’t predict this machine is going to set the world on fire. There is only so much Centipede and Missile Command a sane person can play on the go, after all.
I think its ultimate fate is mostly going to be incessantly being pimped by sponsored influencers until we’re all sick of it.
