What works

  • Boots the supported Android 1.3.128 ARMv7 release on an R36S.
  • Runs races at 640x480 with high visual settings.
  • Measured 48.84 FPS over a full Run 27 session with only minor local drops.
  • Smooth analog steering and D-pad menu navigation.
  • A/B, L1/R1, Start, top-level menu navigation and pause behavior.
  • Working sound effects through the FMOD/OpenSL-to-SDL bridge.
  • Multiple races and career progression validated on physical hardware.
  • Clean PortMaster setup that verifies user-supplied game files and extracts
    required libraries locally.

Known limitations

  • The settled pre-race car-selection/purchase screen cannot focus Continue or
    Buy with the controller. Use the quick-A workaround in
    KNOWN_ISSUES.md.
  • Soundtrack playback is disabled to avoid a decoder retry loop that cuts FPS
    roughly in half.
  • Select's experimental cursor moves, but its taps are rejected by the game.
  • Only the R36S on ArkOS has been validated.
