Can the PowKiddy X35H Run Dreamcast?

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

Yes, with minor compromises. The PowKiddy X35H handles Dreamcast well — most games run at full speed, and only the heaviest titles like Shenmue and Soulcalibur may need light frameskip or a small resolution drop. Lighter games such as Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi are no trouble.

BYes — with minor compromisesOur Dreamcast rating for the PowKiddy X35H: grade B — Great — minor frameskip

Why Dreamcast is the test: Sega's 128-bit console — mostly approachable, but a handful of titles lean hard on the hardware.
