Is NES retro Duo compatible with NES and SNES?

"NES Retro Duo" is apparently a combo console which can supposedly play both NES and SNES cartridges. However this console is meant to be an "emulator":

1)would it be possible to run original NES and SNES cartridges on it?
2)would it be possible to use PowerPak with this console?

Is this one of those crappy NES-On-A-Chip based systems that gets the duty cycle for the square wave completely screwed up, and has horrible DMC sound?

Edit: Checked on Youtube, and it isn't the same crap that shoved into a controller with a multicart. This one appears to have correct sound, which is highly unusual.

Edit: Sounds seems to be far more correct than most crappy famiclones, but it appears to have horribly over-amplified audio.

What are you talking about? Its not an emulator, its just a pirate system that plays original games. Works great

But it probably chokes with MMC5 games, the PowerPak... right?

Well to stress it instead of playing Contra, etc.. I'd rather play :
- Just Breed
- Castlevania III
- Battletoads
- Other Rare games
- Quietust's and Blarg's accuracy test ROMs
etc...

Yeah, that audio has serious problems.

It looks like it makes a much better Super NES than an NES
