Could you build this?
No Requires low-level Linux kernel/driver hacking, embedded graphics pipeline modifications (libdsflip to drive two physical panels on custom handheld hardware), and emulator patching in C/C++.
What it would actually take: Requires an embedded Linux distribution (Buildroot/Linux BSP) targeted at Rockchip/Allwinner SoCs, custom KMS/DRM display plumbing to render DraStic emulator frames across separate physical MIPI-DSI/SPI dual-screen panels simultaneously, low-level ALSA mic routing, and deep knowledge of RetroArch/EmulationStation internals in C and C++.
