I think only open source can solve these. but I worry about my competitors
Open-source will, in my opinion, make you beat your competitors very easily. If you make your code open source, then the value of your carts will increase over time, because the community will keep making improvements to it. I understand that your team is working on their own to make your carts better every day, but it makes sense that the more work people put in the better it will be, and you'll be getting lots of contributions for free.
Besides that, the big problem is your competitors copying your code, and I understand the problem. However, it actually won't matter, because your competitors will have two options:
1) They shamelessly copy your code, and make their cloned version closed source. They now have an inferior product, and one thsts not receiving support from open source developers. Because open source devs can't support their product, your product is clearly the superior version, making it better and beating the cloned versions.
2) They shamelessly copy your code, and make their cloned version open source. The community then immediately recognizes that their version is a clone, and refuses to buy the product.
For that reason, I don't believe you will lose many customers if you make your code open source. What you will gain is a lot of new customers who have the option to play around on custom GBA hardware, something that's never been seen before, that is receiving improvements at a rapid rate. If you look at the market now, the only real competition you hsve is Krizz and the everdrive. If you make your code open source for all GBA devs to play around with, you've created a feature that he can't match at a price that's a lot lower than his. That will make your cart the #1 cart in the market.
In my opinion, open source = lots of $$$.
