🔧 Critical Per-Game Tweaks & Engine Notes
- ▸On Android or PortMaster Linux handhelds, use the native "Ship of Harkinian" port for true 60 FPS, free right-stick camera, and 16:9 widescreen!
- ▸Known Engine Quirk: Pause menu takes 3 seconds to load on N64 unless Framebuffer Emulation overscan is configured.
- ▸Anbernic RG Cube / RG406V has enough GPU headroom on Mali-G57 to run The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time at 3x - 4x Native (1080p) with 16x Anisotropic Filtering.
- ▸Bottleneck Profile (Lightweight 2D/3D Pipeline): Playable either via N64 emulation (Delta iOS / RetroArch) OR via the native Ship of Harkinian port on Android/Linux PortMaster at locked 60 FPS widescreen.
- ▸Thermal & Battery Telemetry: SoC pinned at 100% utilization; noticeable frame drops during heavy effects.
