Mini Arcade Machine's console.
Thumbs Up! Mini Arcade Machine is a handheld system shaped like a mini arcade machine, featuring 240 games.
Overview
Very similar to the Multicade 230, although it has slightly different games. Quality of the bootlegs is, as with the Multicade 230, extremely poor. Bottom of device says, Thumbs Up! (although "up what, exactly?" is not answered). Manufacturer's product code is "OR-240in1ARC". The "OR" likely stands for "ORB" which is another company name this device appears to be sold under.
Titles tend to be descriptive and hilarious: Squirrel Courtship, Abscondee, and Gluttonous Dog. Typos abound, as in Maze Tpooper, and in the official website which suggests purchasing the device to “relieve [sic] hours of video game nostalgia”.
It is likely running a VT368 NOAC (NES-on-a-Chip) and its SPI ROM could possibly be read / reprogrammed using a CH341A.
System Test
Hold down Ⓐ and Ⓑ then turn on the power for system diagnostics and joystick test.
Games List
The system has four categories: Sports, Shooting, Puzzle, and Arcade. Each of these options lead into a separate menu featuring games based on the selected category. Most of the hacked games do not have title screens, and are hacked to have a large amount of (or sometimes infinite) lives, and have full music and voice samples, similar to Street Dance, instead of the 8-bit music (with a few exceptions). They aren't very well done, and some crash after the first few levels. Text is not changed, even if it says the original name of the hacked game. The original games are even lower in quality, and have misleading names/themes. The best example is Zoology, which is just a soundboard with animal sounds and is listed as a puzzle game.
