Didn't they just have a bit of a controversy over the summer where they were going to start preloading their Linux-based consoles with Portmaster ports?
The way it's supposed to work is that you supply the game files yourself the way the Super Mario 64 PC port does it
From what I understand Anbernic was about to just add the games already ported which caused the retro emulation scene to beg them not to do it
Found a link- what happened was that the files were apparently going to be included in a firmware update

These retro handhelds are probably already flying a bit too close to the sun as it is- they probably shouldn't be trying to attract even more attention, especially from companies like Take Two. It's good that they listened to Western users' concerns
I don't think you can play Fallout NV on a cheap handheld just yet- if you go look at the Android emulation subreddit you'll notice most posts are people playing various PC games through Winlator on current high end phones.
The most demanding PC game Anbernic showed was GTA III
Can't imagine the battery life will be great, but apparently the Steam Deck can get away with like 3 hours so what do I know
Meanwhile I'm still thinking it's incredible that I can play PS1/N64/Dreamcast games on my phone
