I’m sure they are just running MAME, which can quite nearly run anything. What they chose to include probably has more to do with what ROMs they could cheaply/easily license.

I still haven’t gotten my update
Me either. Received on X last weekend, still waiting for it to come to our 3.

That is possible as well, MAME has been around for a long time, works very well, and is mature for a lot of games.
However, to my knowledge, no version of MAME exists that would run on the Tesla's hardware directly, it would have to be recompiled. In addition, since MAME supports such a large amount of hardware, the binaries would be rather large and need a lot of prerequisites. Finally, MAME is open source, which would require Tesla to declare its use of the open source software and provide source code.
It seems excessive to go to all that trouble just to run a very small number of games. Given that all the games are Atari, I'd wager a licensing agreement for those games along with a custom Atari-created small emulator to run them.
Sorry for the tangent away from the v9 conversation, but I find the implementation of these games as Easter eggs quite interesting.
So you can test out the update from app.
Buit, no it's likely the 39.7 that you double/triple dippers are getting. Too early to tell what bugs it fixes.
Software Update 2018.39.7 9736c9b
This is the time of night where one really wants Teslafi firmware tracker to work right, but it doesn't.
It has some clock issue where it doesn't count the cars/firmware correctly, So it's not showing the count correctly under 2018.39.7. It will a bit later on when it starts showing data for tomorrow. Like part of it thinks it's today, and part of it thinks it tomorrow.

Don’t hate me guys, but I just got a software update a short while ago as well. It just finished as I was typing this. It is indeed 2018.39.7. I was on 2018.39.6 just before. I’ll give it a good test run tomorrow as I’ve got a several hundred mile drive in the morning. I took some screenshots of the update process from the app for anyone that’s interested. It was nice to not have to leave my bed and go to the garage to kick off the update!
Heh, this is only the 4th time I’ve ever charged to 100% in 6 1/2 months of ownership. I always charge to 100% when I’ve got a road trip that is 250+ miles.
It's actually a good thing to charge to 100% occasionally.
but, you did screw up in that you should have timed it to finish right before your drive.
Yes, need to already have version 9 to be able to start the update from the app. You’ll be able to start your next update from the app.
