The first major revision bump of ARMSX2-NX!

With this comes one big improvement: Vulkan support!

  • Vulkan is now set as the default renderer on new installs
    • Be sure to change the renderer in the settings to use Vulkan now if you have a previous config made.
  • The Vulkan backend is significantly more accurate than the Deko3D one is, however sometimes at the expense of performance.
  • It is recommended to try the Deko3D renderer only if the Vulkan one doesn't fit your needs.
  • Vulkan has some shader compilation stutter that isn't' present with Deko3D, but it isn't too noticeable.

Don't expect the world out of this, we are still limited by the CPU a lot of the time. Pushing clocks as far as you can/are comfortable with will get you the most in terms of performance improvements.

Also resources are now bundled into the NRO instead of requiring a seperate folder. If resources are detected on the SD card they will be used over the included ones.
