Can the Retroid Pocket Duo play GameCube games?

Yes, most games tested run at full speed at 2×.

Gardiner Bryant ran Mario Kart: Double Dash!! at 60 fps and The Wind Waker well at 2× in Dolphin, and Luigi's Mansion held its intended 30 fps. F-Zero GX sat around 50 fps at 2× and reached a steady 60 at native resolution.

Kirby Air Ride ran at 3× on the lower screen while a 1080p video played on the top screen. WULFF DEN sums up Dolphin on the Duo as running great.
