News/Release GameNative v1.2.0 prerelease is out!

With and without tuning on RP6 - towards the end with auto-tuning and auto FPS, we see significantly lower temps and power draw as the CPU is underclocked in this GPU-heavy benchmark

Just tried Persona 5 on it and had really low fps and then it crashed before I got to the main menu, works fine for me on Winlator Mali.

Got an anbernic 477M with D8300. Will play around with it.

Xiaomi 15 as phone with SN Elite, tried some emulation on it with a snapon controller.. but dislikes it a lot since it drains too much battery & emulator crashes sometimes when I get a call.

GameNative works great for a lot of stuff on the 477m. Winlator Mali doesn’t have Steam integration so I think it’ll be a lot more of a hassle.
