- ▸Known Engine Quirk: Severe audio crackling on mid-range chips if EE Cycle Rate is left at 100% default.
- ▸To eliminate audio crackle on Anbernic RG406V (Unisoc T820), apply 75% (-1 Underclock) and 1 (Mild Underclock) in per-game properties.
- ▸Bottleneck Profile (EE CPU & VU1 Intensive): The #1 stress-test game for PS2 emulation. Uses inverse kinematics, fur shaders, and dynamic physics that choked even original PS2 hardware down to 18 FPS.
- ▸Thermal & Battery Telemetry: Enable High Performance OS mode and set active cooling fan to Sport if equipped.
