Yep, -some- of them. Mostly lightweight games that even a potato PC would run.
Rig 1: Windows 10 Home | AMD A6-1450 @ 600/1000/1400 MHz | AMD Radeon HD Graphics 8250 | 4GB RAM | HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11.

Rig 2: Windows 10 Pro | Intel Core i7-2640M @ 780/2800/3500 MHz | Intel HD 3000 Mobile | 8GB RAM | Dell Latitude 6320.

The Z5 Compact won't be enough, not even for lightweight games. While it meets the minimum requirements for running Dolphin's Android port, that Snapdragon 810 SoC is 5 years old and it's known to have serious overheating problems, to the point it will throttle its performance in less than 2 minutes when you hit it with any demanding workload (like Dolphin, for instance)...
Avell A70 MOB: Core i7-11800H, GeForce RTX 3060, 16 GB DDR4-3200, Windows 11 (Insider Preview)
ASRock Z97M OC Formula: Pentium G3258, GeForce GT 440, 16 GB DDR3-1600, Windows 10 (22H2)

So you are basically telling me that the phone will overheat when I’m playing dolphin for 2 minutes? Will it have damage than my phone?

It won't damage your phone, because phones have a safeguard that make them run slower when the heat otherwise would have gotten too high, bringing the heat down. But as you can probably guess, playing a game is no fun if it's running super slowly.

Well that’s a relief and a big disappointment at the same time. Well the only way to figure it out is by trying it I think. Thank you for helping me thought
