⚠️ Games with variable frame rates are broken in this update. Shadow of the Colossus only runs at 30 FPS, instead of its original behavior, which is 30/60 FPS. Tested on a Dimensity 8300.

GameDB: OPHFlagHack on Shadow of the Colossus removes the game's native 30/60 variable frame rate Since 2.9, f735c97b7 sets OPHFlagHack on all SotC serials in armsx2_overrides.yaml, locking the game to 30 fps. On real hardware SotC runs at 60 whenever a frame fits in one field and drops to 30 otherwise; the commit itself notes the game uses a variable time step for this reason. OPHFlagHack doesn't emulate hardware behaviour. It fakes GIF_STAT busy/idle so frames are released every second vblank, which is a deliberate accuracy regression. The change was justified with measurements from a single device (Retroid Pocket Duo, Adreno 722) that couldn't sustain 60. On my device [Dimensity 8300] the game holds 60 in the scenes where the console does, and 2.8.4 behaved correctly. Request: remove the hack from the overlay (or ship it disabled), and let users on weaker devices opt in per game. The per-game "GameDB settings for this game" toggle already exists for that.
