      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.

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