It's a "fake" system. All the hardware is in the game cartridge. The actual system is basically a TV adapter. In cases like that we don't use Softlists.
XaviXport is the same, fake console - the early games on it run on regular XaviX (NES on steroids level) while the later games use entirely different 3D capable hardware in XaviX 2. This is possible because the system is literally just a few buttons and a TV / power adapter, no real hardware.
As already stated, this would be like calling 'Supergun' or 'Jamma cabinet' a system.
