Does Super Mario Sunshine Run at 60 FPS on Anbernic RG405M?

No — avoid buying the Anbernic RG405M specifically for Super Mario Sunshine. MUST leave "Skip EFB Access from CPU" UNCHECKED (OFF) so goop physics work, and enable the 60 FPS Gecko code on Snapdragon/Dimensity devices. If playing Super Mario Sunshine at full speed is your priority, step up to the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro ($175).

🔧 Critical Per-Game Tweaks & Engine Notes

  • ▸MUST leave "Skip EFB Access from CPU" UNCHECKED (OFF) so goop physics work, and enable the 60 FPS Gecko code on Snapdragon/Dimensity devices.
  • ▸Known Engine Quirk: If you enable "Skip EFB Access from CPU", Mario cannot clean paint goop with FLUDD!
  • ▸Unisoc Tiger T618 lacks the single-core speed or Turnip driver support required to hold full speed in Super Mario Sunshine. Consider stepping up to the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro.
  • ▸Bottleneck Profile (EFB Access from CPU): Paint/goop collision physics require CPU readbacks of the Embedded Frame Buffer (EFB)—making it heavier than Wind Waker.
  • ▸Thermal & Battery Telemetry: SoC pinned at 100% utilization; noticeable frame drops during heavy effects.
