Tested by: Joey's Retro Handhelds, Retro Dodo

Impressive on most of the library, with known hard failures.

  • Mario Kart: Double Dash and Super Mario Sunshine run perfectly at 2x upscale.

PlayStation 2

Hit and miss

Some titles run untouched at native resolution; most popular ones mean a trip to the settings menu.

  • A few titles need 1x resolution to hold full speed.
  • Some do not work well no matter what is changed.
