Found an AliExpress games console based on a blob 8MHz 65c02

As title. It's got a 24MHz SPI flash chip for storage and a fast connection to a 160x128 ST7735 screen. There's 2kB of internal RAM and an 8kB ROM containing graphics and sound routines. I think the chip even has a bus interface --- I suspect the ST7735 is connected up to it. Sadly, I don't think anything more than D0-7 and a single address line are exposed to the outside world.
I think it's a GeneralPlus part, based on nothing more than a hunch based on finding similar blobs in the past. I don't know if this is NOS or not, but if this is still in current production it does show that the 6502 isn't as obsolete as people think it is!
I built a basic SDK for the device: https://github.com/davidgiven/tony-sdk
...and here's my video where I reverse engineer it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ0XmZvR4bU
