Can the Retroid Pocket Duo play DS games?

Tested on other handhelds

None of these were tested on a Duo, and the results are the reviewer's impressions rather than measured frame rates.

Retroid Pocket Duo Lite

• forthenext at 6:50 ↗The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass runs at reported full speed with SeedlessDS high-resolution rendering on Lite. The reviewer reports substantial fast-forward headroom early on; not every touch or lid-close puzzle was tried.
• forthenext at 23:30 ↗In LEGO Battles: Ninjago, the reviewer reports the SeedlessDS LCD shader appearing on only the top screen of Lite, and later disables it. The build is not shown, so newer versions may differ.
• forthenext at 63:30 ↗New Super Mario Bros. shows intermittent scrolling stutter in the reviewer’s DraStic rev i18n test on Lite even while the speed counter says 100%. The build is not shown and the cause is unresolved.
• forthenext at 92:26 ↗Mario Kart DS exposes a hold-button problem in the Lite SeedlessDS test: drifting and holding items behave like repeated presses. A controller test looks normal to the reviewer, and no fix for the emulator or button mapping is found.
• forthenext at 204:47 ↗Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies gets a positive verdict in a short test with SeedlessDS high-resolution rendering on Lite. No frame rate is given and only a short stretch was played.
• V1cariousGaming at 4:23 ↗In Sonic Rush on Lite’s GammaOS preview, the reviewer reports smooth motion and closely synchronised screens by eye, with fast-forward headroom.
• V1cariousGaming at 9:03 ↗The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks touch controls are described as substantially better than stock on Lite’s GammaOS preview, but the reviewer still notices some delay. They call the short rock-picking and throwing stretch playable.
• V1cariousGaming at 10:50 ↗Pokémon Black Version 2 has a positive boot and title sequence on Lite’s GammaOS preview, including fast-forward headroom. Demanding battles and later areas were not shown.
