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.
