🔴 NOT RECOMMENDED: Incompatible (Allwinner Limit)System: Switch (HIGH Load)SoC: Allwinner H700 / ARM Cortex-A53 Budget Tier
Does Metroid Dread Run at 60 FPS on Miyoo A30?
No — avoid buying the Miyoo A30 specifically for Metroid Dread. The Miyoo A30 uses the budget Allwinner H700 / ARM Cortex-A53 Budget Tier (Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A53 @ 1.5GHz), which is designed for PS1, GBA, SNES, N64, and Dreamcast—not Switch. If playing Metroid Dread at full speed is your priority, step up to the Retroid Pocket 5 ($219).
