Can the Retroid Pocket Duo Lite Run GameCube?

Compiled & reviewed by Urs von Gunten, HandheldWiki editorial · How we rate ·

Yes, with minor compromises. The Retroid Pocket Duo Lite handles GameCube well — most games run at full speed, and only the heaviest titles like Metroid Prime and F-Zero GX may need light frameskip or a small resolution drop. Lighter games such as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Super Mario Sunshine are no trouble.

B-Yes — with minor compromisesOur GameCube rating for the Retroid Pocket Duo Lite: grade B- — Great — minor frameskip
