      Mostly likely a "NES on a Chip" or Famiclone, so no emulation going on but an actual reverse engineered NES implementation. Used to be super common in these knock off games before cheap ARM CPUs became the norm. I presume they still have lots of stock they're trying to push out the door in whatever form they can.
