NES Classic has been hacked to run Linux

If only it be funny enough to just be some modified raspberry pi system when you open the case.

I think if you look through the settings, it features a disclaimer for the title IP listings and open source information. So i doubt it would be much of anything completly by nintendo hardware developement team but probably used assets from some other hardware maker. Also is a EMULATION MACHINENE, of course is running other kinds of stuff not completely originl.

For all we know, is some smartphone chip that just happens to work enough to use as nes machine. Or something even older, or new... someone rip it open and find out... wait they did open it.

If they can port retropie on it then already done with it.
Then you don't need to putt a Raspberry Pi 3 in this nice case

I was just thinking: this thing has 512mb of flash, which I presume is the bare minimum possible without a custom chip. NES Roms are about 1mb, and the OS might not be more than 256mb. There may be room for a lot more Roms than the original 30 - just it depends on how hard it is to tweak the OS.

NES Roms are about 1mb.

What are you smoking? only a handful exceed 512KB. Fullset is 598MB excluding FDS.

Really? I did say "about 1 MB." Is 231KB really of any significance? That's literally about the size of a blank bitmap made in MS Paint.

Based on that video, it looks like a N3DS with most functionality removed and the cartridge built in. And a different OS of course.
