Game Park GP32
One of the first “homebrew” consoles to have released, despite it's origins pitting it as the first South Korean game console of native origin. Releasing on November 23rd, 2001 in South Korea and eventually reaching other continents, the GP32 experienced little of an actual cartridge gaming market, although enough to actually be considered a proper console, rather than an “Emulation Handheld”. It's real shining star was a thriving homebrew scene which created bounds of games, apps, and more for the system. Specifications-wise, the GP32 is quite powerful, running off of a Samsung S3C2400X01, 8 MB of RAM, and displaying on a 320×240 16-bit color screen. Even though it's “homebrew” fate relegated the GP32 to minimal sales success, it spawned an entire realm of “homebrew” handheld devices that still thrives today.

Console emulation (potential)
Whether these emulators support operating systems for these consoles is unknown; it must be looked into further. Consoles without meaningful OSes are not included.

Linux (base)
There’s a lot about this, but it does appear that it was eventually flashed to the GP32, even though common sentiment is that it never made it.
