🔧 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!
- ▸To eliminate audio crackle on Anbernic RG406V (Unisoc T820), apply 100% (Default) and 0 (Normal) in per-game properties.
- ▸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: Enable High Performance OS mode and set active cooling fan to Sport if equipped.
