Who said that Yocto comes only with 4 years of support? BitBake is so flexible that it's very easy to use the latest release to support very old hardware and games with very little added code. I'll show you how to create kernel and bootloader recipes to support a 17 year old board, tweak the device tree to add an I2C joystick, create a new machine, create a new recipe for an old game, and even a custom distribution to play PacMan on an ASCII display, using the joystick.
Zero polygons, infinite possibilities!
