No, it is a cheap SOC running VICE just like the original "mini", and
without any credits to the VICE team or source code as required by the GPL.

No it is not "original hardware pressed in the chip", it is running
VICE. If it was "original hardware" you'd be able to use a normal
joystick like you could on a DTV (which was a hardware implementation,
not an emulator).
The other give away is you can boot into a VIC-20 which has completely
different hardware to a c64 (other than the keyboard).
