Does Resident Evil 4 Run at 60 FPS on iPhone 15 Pro / 16 (Delta & PPSSPP iOS)?
No — avoid buying the iPhone 15 Pro / 16 (Delta & PPSSPP iOS) specifically for Resident Evil 4. Use Official Dolphin from Play Store/GitHub (avoid outdated MMJR builds) with Vulkan backend and Dual Core enabled. If playing Resident Evil 4 at full speed is your priority, step up to the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro ($175).

🔧 Critical Per-Game Tweaks & Engine Notes
- ▸Use Official Dolphin from Play Store/GitHub (avoid outdated MMJR builds) with Vulkan backend and Dual Core enabled.
- ▸Known Engine Quirk: Laser sight dot disappears if Store EFB Copies to Texture Only is misconfigured on older Dolphin forks.
- ▸Apple A17 Pro / A16 Bionic (iOS) lacks the single-core speed or Turnip driver support required to hold full speed in Resident Evil 4. Consider stepping up to the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro.
- ▸Bottleneck Profile (EFB Access from CPU): Features superior lighting, fire effects, and uncompressed audio compared to the PS2 port.
- ▸Thermal & Battery Telemetry: SoC pinned at 100% utilization; noticeable frame drops during heavy effects.
