In reply to RichardG867. Yep, all 4 (?) games are built-in, with a 0-ohm resistor to select between them. Easy enough to remove the jumper, and wire all 4 inputs to the joystick so you can select a game by holding the joystick in a direction while flipping the power switch. I too thought of using the screen & case with a pocketbeagle.

In reply to RichardG867. I'd be more interested and re-purposing the controls & screen for something more like a Pi Zero.

I’ve seen somewhere that these use a glob-top SoC, and the ROM actually stores all games, with the machine’s game being selected by a series of jumpers on the board.
