• Engine up to nxnative b515089 (57 commits). Ocarina-relevant changes:
  • finalized-texture table thrash at area transitions (Ocarina of Time on an M1 Pro: slow motion after ~80 min on main 25c2546, finalized-texture table puts jump from <1 to thousands a frame seedds/nxnative#2213)
  • compute dispatches ordered by the game's barriers (Compute dispatches can be ordered by the game's own barriers (profile key dispatch_barriers game): Kirby Air Riders' particle systems go from 6.6-9.8 ms to 0.4-1.2 ms a frame seedds/nxnative#2250)
  • queued residency changes (Residency changes are queued and committed under a lock of their own, so res_add and res_remove no longer wait for another thread's residency commit seedds/nxnative#2379)
  • depth textures zeroed by copies (Zero large depth textures by copies, not a clear pass (Metal 4 clear pass out of memory on M3 Pro) seedds/nxnative#2306)
  • cheaper pipeline prediction (Ocarina of Time: the prediction walk after a hybrid stand-in draw admits no builds and costs about 1 to 1.5 ms of submit CPU in the market's first 50 s seedds/nxnative#2438)
  • visibility ring sized for every submission in flight
• Shader chain 24fb019d8da5: every game rebuilds its shaders once.
• NXForge patches re-ported onto the new engine:
  • GPU memory guard onto res_q: at the wall, removals commit and additions stay queued
  • stats line
  • dispatch path beside the NDVE movie path
  • launcher env
  • null-safe buffer getters
  • packing --plan beside --prebake
• Open upstream PRs taken early as patches:
  • 0014 nvn/pool: age read marks once they cover a quarter of the working set (Ocarina of Time: late-session area-load freezes) seedds/nxnative#2344 (revised; ported onto typed read-mark sections)
  • 0016 Ocarina of Time: a full model heap no longer crashes the model rebuild (from HookLink) seedds/nxnative#2497 (model heap retry)
  • 0017 Ocarina of Time's movie player takes up to two pictures a frame, so a movie no longer falls behind its sound when frames take two vsyncs and its last scenes no longer play in silence (issue #1501) seedds/nxnative#2456 (movie pictures a frame)
  • 0018 games/0400486024DEC000: Ocarina of Time fills a Mac screen wider than 16:9 (Wide screen, DM_SCREEN_WIDE) seedds/nxnative#2538 (wide screen)
  • 0019 Ocarina of Time draws its 3D above its Switch 2 resolution: Render scale 1.333 gives native 2560x1440 and 2.0 native 3840x2160 docked, where the console draws 1920x1080 and upscales seedds/nxnative#2532 (render scale up to 3840x2160)

Checks

• Cloud passes:
  • layer.py status current
  • env_switches --check
  • docs_patches --check
  • test_docs, test_launcher_settings, test_patches, test_lint_c
  • release_check.py check v0.30.0
• test_nsp_mac_app needs macOS: cp -X fails on Linux, and it fails the same way on upstream.
• Mac check pending.
