ARMSX3 1.6.5

Games

• Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction runs far faster in its heaviest fights: the opening robot fight goes from 12 to 25 fps on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Done by @k1r4ct.

On 8 Elite:

• Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) runs at a locked 60: a signal the game sends an SPU waits only when the SPU hasn’t read the previous one yet, instead of after every signal.

Performance and display

• SPU threads with nothing to do stop burning CPU. Web of Shadows CPU usage went from 70-80 on an 8 Elite to 30-50ish% and SPU-heavy games run smoother in general.

• Frame generation is much lighter. Games keep their full frame rate with it on: Web of Shadows holds 30 with LSFG x2 for a smooth 60.

• Frame generation holds its frame rate whichever way the screen is turned, and the performance overlay stays steady with it on.

• Graphics compile on every little core of phones that have them, three workers instead of two on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Done by @k1r4ct.

Everything else

• Back up app data suggests an ARMSX3 file name, like ARMSX3-backup-1.6.5.zip (#229).
• Typing on a keyboard reaches the search box with Use system keyboard on, in the library and in settings search (#229). From ARMSX2, done by @ygordreyer.

Linux Builds also now compile thanks to @k1r4ct
