Thanks for the answers.
Is your target audience here LSDJ users, or retro gamers? I wonder if we could set something up to have some musicians come to hyperkin and get a sneak peak with some songs that tend to struggle on real gameboys.

For the price tag, I really hope there is an internal arduino. I would buy a couple of those. Would there be space?

This isn't really made for us, mind you. I gather that the main demographic is the millennial-nostalgia bubble. You know, for playing pokemans ironically. The six or seven chiptune artists who have 89 bucks on hand aren't the main focus. 
Besides, the commercial distribution of Trash's code would just be another strike for hyperkin. I don't think they want to touch that a second time around. - granted, you were talking about an internal arduino boy.
This is just speculation, but I think the shell is going to be pretty stuffed. If its got a Li-po battery then it will need new components to protect over/undercharging. Two speakers for stereo, etc. An internal arduinoboy is already tough enough to jam into an official gb pocket. But we'll see.

Since I did consult a bit for our R&D team, and what our R&D team has said during CES, I can honestly say, we do have some intention of aiming this at actual GB producers, but like someone mentioned here, it is a new solution for playing your old Game Boy games.
Our products are always for both the hardcore and the general public looking for a nostalgia kick. But the audio features are, for the most part, intended for chiptune purposes.
