reSOT v0.2.0
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Xbox), statically recompiled for Windows and Android
Graphics

• Added the new Vulkan shader path for demo and retail on Windows and Android.
• Supported vertex programs are now translated into dedicated shaders.
• Pixel shaders are specialized and optimized before pipeline creation.
• Added disk caching and background compilation, with temporary reference shaders while dedicated pipelines compile.
• D3D11 and D3D12 retain their previous shader paths.
  Android touch controls
• Redesigned the controls with engraved gold borders, blue centres and brighter pressed highlights inspired by Sands of Time.
• Added a blue movement stick with a decorated gold ring.
• Arranged the main action buttons in an arc inspired by Warrior Within mobile.
• Placed Pause and Back beside the central show/hide overlay button.
• Moved Rewind to the upper right, clearing the upper-left area for the game HUD and FPS panel.
• Preserved all Xbox mappings and layout customization.
  Fixes
• Corrected retail’s forming sand-tank ring alignment on ultrawide Android displays.
• Updated touch-layout persistence so relocated controls receive their new defaults while other customized positions are retained.
  Builds and validation
• Updated Windows demo/retail executables and the Android APK to 0.2.0.
• Passed all nine GPU/support tests, plus additional relative-constant and swizzle comparisons.
• Passed all ten shader compilation checks.
• Tested both games on PC and Android without shader-translator errors in the logs.
• The user confirmed the new touch-control appearance and corrected sand-tank alignment.
• Completed final builds; the latest button-placement adjustment still awaits device confirmation.
• Shader implementation and measured results are documented in docs/VULKAN-PERFORMANCE.md.
  Known limitations
• Stable 60 FPS is not yet established: denser demo scenes still include drops to around 49–50 FPS.
• First-use shader compilation may cause stalls; a controlled overall performance improvement has not been established.
• Full-game visual accuracy and sustained performance remain under validation.
• Water, motion blur and time-power effects are not yet fully mapped to the quality setting.
• The previously reported demo HUD artifacts with post-processing Off remain unresolved.
