Amusing that the image credit isn't retro-gaming at all. It's Genshin
Impact. So, if that image isn't a mock-up then what they're showing
here is their system running Android with an ARM emulator. That is,
they're selling a hardware version of Bluestacks or Nox Player.

Don't get me wrong. I love the idea of RISC-V. But if what they're
selling is supposed to run console and arcade board emulators inside an
ARM emulator? It's going to be a miserable experience.
