The audio in this recording sounds terrible. I do not have a lisp, just an FYI.
Also, this recording was done via another user through discord. This is not a first hand recording.

Info about your engineering sample is hard to find. Are there any big differences between retail and this prototype?

[@RGDYouTube]

There's an SDK document which outlines the differences (just a few bugfixes) between it and final. We tested its behavior a bit and observed intermittent crashes in Prime.

does it play the emulators included in the zelda collectors edition correctly?

[@deadlyfoez]

We did not try that, and the board went back to the owner after this. I can ask him to test it out and see what happens.
We will be install an A13 engineering sample onto a board soon enough and we will test it all out then.

GameCube + identity crisis

...what's the PVR of this engineering sample?

00080100, same PVR for DD1.0 and DD2.0, we have an earlier one which we are going to try too
