Reported settings and results. A tested build may differ from the latest release.
A Retro Handhelds host installs Vauzi Turnip 4.3 EXP-fix during the stream and reports improved Mario Kart 8 Deluxe performance in Eden, while saying it is not a stable 60 fps.

Super Mario Odyssey runs at about 40 fps in Eden, which WULFF DEN calls slow. Switch is the one emulated system the review does not call full speed.
More detail
- The reviewer expects lower resolution and other settings could help. The video does not say whether this is the Eden Duo build.
Hades ran at around 40 fps in Eden Nightly with Mr. Purple's T30, and Metroid Dread at a stable 35 to 40 fps. Both used a 67% speed limit, with frame generation raising the displayed rate to around 80.

- dash notes that generated frames do not improve the underlying responsiveness.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe ran anywhere from 30 to 45 fps in Eden Nightly and never held steady. dash also calls Super Mario Odyssey a tougher fit.
Metroid Prime Remake booted only with the system driver, then showed graphical errors and crashed to the Eden menu each time.
The regular Duo runs a town, an outdoor area and a brief battle smoothly in Eden in this sample. The reviewer uses handheld mode at 720p and notes visible aliasing. No measured frame rate, Eden build or exact driver package is established.

The Switch version boots and reaches the mansion in Eden. OJAYSAN reports a drop to roughly 24–25 fps on entry and stutter while shaders compile, then describes the initial play as usable. Later areas were not tested in the clip. This is Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD for Switch, separate from the 3DS release.

The game loads in Eden, but the shown scene is blurry and OJAYSAN reports about 16–18 fps. Unidentified mods were already enabled and did not make this sample satisfactory. Treat this as a poor result for the tested setup, rather than proof that every build or configuration fails.
