What hardware it is?
--- Quote ---As it will be open source *legit*, the board won't have rom's shipped with it, but I'll stick compiled versions of popular emulators + a front end on there, plus setup a github repo so others can assist / improve.

Which ones have you tried?
--- Quote ---Essentially it will be like the Chinese XX in 1 boards, *but* with better emulation, a lot more open, plus better emulation, oh, and better emulation :lol

What's better, for example?

Definitely an interesting project.
My first thoughts would be to choose the emulator versions carefully to ensure good compatibility with the romsets that are most common. For instance, using an older version of Mame like the XX-in-1 boards do, would be problematic for most users with romsets for the more recent releases of Mame.
On that same topic, providing a means for the user to flash the firmware with regular updates from your end would be a huge plus. It is going to be tough to put together an broad emulation pack that works wonderfully right out of the gate, so providing an easy upgrade path (USB to serial programming cable for instance) as part of the hardware package will be important.
Looking forward to future updates.

Take my money!
Actually though what I want is a xx in one similar board that has decent emulation including sound and music for Gyruss. I haven't seen this done well yet in a low cost board. I would love to see an xx in 1 with perfect emulation over something that tries to support everything but with poor emulation or performance.

I'd be down for one... or two...
But please, please, PLEASE make the front end less cheesy/bad than the other XX-in-1 boards out there. If there was some way to flash and import custom graphics for the FE, I'd buy three!
