Which handheld runs GameCube?

Not viable on this hardware, regardless of settings or custom firmware.

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

• Mario Kart: Double Dash and Super Mario Sunshine run perfectly at 2x upscale.
• F-Zero GX is practically unplayable even at native resolution.

Runs well at 30 fps, including at 2x internal resolution on lighter titles.

• Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion and Metroid Prime run smoothly.
• Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes and Zelda: Twilight Princess hold 30 fps at 2x resolution.

Broadly comparable to its PS2 performance, with the heaviest titles needing settings dropped.

• Super Smash Bros. Melee runs excellently with minimal adjustment.
• Resident Evil 4 exposes the hardware limits and needs reduced settings.

Solid 30 fps with minimal frame drops on the usual benchmark titles.

• Super Mario Sunshine, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Metroid Prime run at a solid 30 fps.
• The Simpsons Hit & Run holds a stable framerate through action sequences.
• The 4:3 OLED suits the era better than a 16:9 panel.

Excellent through Dolphin, with a handful of known problem titles.

• F-Zero GX and Rogue Squadron still struggle.

Near-perfect, frequently upscaled to 2x or 3x native resolution.

Near-flawless, with room to raise resolution above native and add filters.

Handles the library upscaled to 1080p.

• Reported to be exactly as capable as the full-size Odin 2 despite the smaller shell.

Runs at 3x native resolution, including the titles that defeat everything below it.

• F-Zero GX runs at 2x without compromise.
• Rogue Squadron II, a known Android killer, was pushed to 720p.
• Upscaled play needs the high-performance modes, which bring fan noise.

Full speed with room for upscaling. Dolphin is well optimised for the hardware.

• Expect 6-7 hours of battery in the sixth-generation era, against 9-10 for PS1 and N64.
