It's a 400 MHz ARM9 running a stripped-down Linux distro with SDL and directfb (note 163.com is in China), so yeah there's not really a lot of power there. I assume the NG emulation is missing the raster effects and the like, and I know a lot of the games don't run full framerate (you can Google up a lot of people complaining about that).
They did a better job than most at removing the usual telltale MAME strings, but the ROM data for e.g. the PGM games is clearly in GAME() and ROM_REGION format, and it actually has text identifying the emulators as "CPS-1", "NEOGEO", and "MAME".
