Very likely. The Rockchip stuff is super popular with that type of console and it’s easy to get Linux or Android going. HDMI out too; the Rockchip is probably one of the cheapest ways to get an HDMI signal out and USB in (which the controller almost certainly is.)

The Hyperkin RetroN does the same cartridge reading + emulator trick. It’s a neat but flawed device and I suspect the same flaws will show up here. $130 for a nice looking case and authentic feeling controller isn’t a terrible markup especially given the cartridge reader adapter.
