Individual reports; versions and hardware may differ.
One Pocket Duo owner reports that a game keeps opening on the lower screen in DroidDeck and they could not find how to change the display. The game, DroidDeck build and launch settings were not supplied, and no solution was confirmed. This records a setup difficulty, not a confirmed general software defect.
An owner who has used a 16-bit Duo for about a week posted a photo of the device stopped on a Qualcomm crashdump screen and said DroidDeck is the only thing that reliably crashes it. They said DroidDeck does work otherwise: Fields of Mistria runs well, but heavier games struggle, and Persona 5 ran poorly. The DroidDeck version, settings and the game running at the time of the crash are unknown.
One 16-bit Duo owner tried Persona 5 Royal from Steam in DroidDeck. A photo shows Turnip faux123 1.2.3 as the display driver, a Mesa Turnip v27.0.0 test build as the runtime driver and DroidDeck-Proton 11. The first attempt booted with an atrocious frame rate, and a later attempt loaded and then crashed. The tester then said it was running surprisingly well on Mesa drivers with vsync still on, but shared no frame rate or settings, and a network error dialog was on screen. The same owner says Fields of Mistria runs well with decent battery life, without naming the app used.
A community member reports Dead Cells running well in DroidDeck and mentions dual-screen support. They did not say which device or settings they used.
An owner reports DiRT Showdown above 60 fps at 720p with High settings on an 8 GB Duo using DroidDeck. Their screenshot shows 74 fps and a Turnip Adreno 722 overlay. This is one test with unknown app and driver versions, so other parts of the game may run differently.
