V13 (pre-release): Potato resolution preset, native glass controls, Deadline boost

Pre-release: source code only. No IPA and nothing from the game are attached or in the repository. Build your own from your own dump of the game (the v1 dump: base game + update v131072) with the steps in docs/games/kid-with-sword-remake.md.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Switch 2) as a native iPhone and Mac app, on top of nxnative.

In this build (V13)

• Resolution preset in the launcher: Normal (the default: 1280×720 handheld, 1951×1098 docked, a steady 30 fps on an iPhone 18 Pro) or Potato (0.6 of the game's size: 1169×658 handheld, 1536×864 docked).
• MetalFX at every render size: the game's upscaler picks its network by scale; every one of them now ends in MetalFX, so Potato and docked sizes no longer fall back to the game's heavier upscaler.
• Native touch controls (from V12): a mobile-game layout in very transparent glass: icon keys with the button's letter in a chip (round for face buttons, square for shoulders), a floating left stick, the camera on any drag of the right half, the menu (…) at the top right. 2D, 3D and Tap stay in the in-game menu. Full key map and design: Touch controls.
• Deadline boost (from V11, on by default): each frame is an os_workgroup interval with the present period as its deadline, so iOS keeps the frame's threads on the performance cores. The launcher can turn it off.
• CPU cuts (from V11): thread classes by the game's priorities (loading and streaming step aside from the fast cores), guest thread wakes after the scheduler lock, a remembered uniform-conflict answer per draw, fewer split passes for indirect mesh draws, pool tables patched instead of rebuilt on storage takeovers.
• Stability: a texture ID with no texture no longer keeps a released texture on the pool tables' fast path (GPU page faults; nxnative PR seedds#1607).

Earlier builds

• V8: Xipzer's submit-thread savings, the GPU architecture in the log, the Forest touch theme.
• V7: an 8 GB alias region for the game's streaming allocator (a busy thread no longer spins a core).
• V4–V6: a 30 / 60 fps setting with evenly paced 30 fps, console mode picks the resolution, upstream and Mighty Green Kokiri Kid fork performance work.
• V9 / V10 (oot2's shader-translator commits and an A20 Pro pipeline archive) are kept on the v9-oot2-shaders branch; V11 onward builds on V8.

Status

• V13 is not yet tested on the iPhone. V8 holds a steady 30 fps on an iPhone 18 Pro; 60 fps holds while the phone is cool and drops once iOS lowers the CPU clock.
• Mac (MacBook Air M5): 60 fps, frame time p50 16.7 ms, no crash in the test route.
• Known: magenta or black textures can appear after some area changes (texture release level 2; level 1 needs more memory than the phone has room for).
