    I found this website claiming to be soon selling miniature devices (which look like pi's in customs cases) with a gaming os very similar to retropie.

    The Retropie team may want to investigate this.

        This would not surprise me as there is always someone out there looking to make a quick buck.

          They're using Retropie. There's already this thread on this matter.

                I think it has been determined they are using an orange pi lite.

                  @PetroRie said in Retropie may be being used illegally for pirated sales...:

                  They might be running RetroPie on another board with 4k output. I think the OrangePi 2 supports 4k out.
