Can the Retroid Pocket Duo play Dreamcast games?
Probably, but every test so far was on a Duo Lite.
The Duo Lite tests used Flycast at 1×. Sonic Adventure 2 and Grandia II ran acceptably in short stretches, while NBA 2K2 slowed to roughly 60% speed. The Duo Lite is different hardware, so a regular Duo may run these differently.
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.
