Yes, with minor compromises. The Game Kiddy / Z-Pocket Game Z-Pocket Game Pro handles Nintendo DS well — most games run at full speed, and only the heaviest titles like The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and Nintendogs may need light frameskip or a small resolution drop. Lighter games such as New Super Mario Bros. and Pokémon Platinum are no trouble.

Why Nintendo DS is the test: two screens and a touch panel — the challenge is the dual-screen layout and 3D, not raw power.
