Barely. The Anbernic RG353M struggles with GameCube. A few of the lightest titles are tolerable, but most games — certainly Metroid Prime and F-Zero GX — run too slowly to enjoy. If GameCube matters to you, look at a stronger device below.
| GameCube game | On this device |
|---|---|
| The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker | Choppy but runs |
| Super Mario Sunshine | Choppy but runs |
| Luigi's Mansion | Choppy but runs |
| Metroid Prime | Won't run well |
| F-Zero GX | Won't run well |
| The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess | Won't run well |
