## ⚔️ Zenonia 4 — PlayStation Vita Port (v1.0.0)

## 🚀 What's New in v1.0.0

- **⚡ Multi-Tier FrameSkip (1.0x to 3.0x)**:
- Dynamic frame pacing allowing you to adjust game speed in real-time between **1.0x (Normal)**, **1.5x**, **2.0x (Default)**, **2.5x**, and **3.0x (Max)**.
- Game logic, physics, enemy AI, and touch/pad inputs run at a full **60 Hz tick rate** while rendering load is cut down, yielding a super-smooth 20–30+ FPS experience.
- Frame pacing is active across gameplay, Title screen animations, and Main Menus.
- **🖥️ On-Screen OSD HUD Notification**:
- Displays a clean, translucent banner at the top of the screen when changing speed modes (`FRAME SKIP: 2.0X`, etc.) with smooth fade-out.
- **🛡️ 100% Authentic Visuals & UI Bug Fixes**:
- Off-screen text and button caches (`p9 != 0`) are fully preserved, fixing missing text labels on pause/inventory popups (*Destroy*, *Repair*, *Equip*, *Discard*).
- Redundant 1.04 MB `FastClearNonClipping` writes are bypassed on skipped frames to drastically reduce RAM bandwidth usage.
- **🔇 Zero-Log Max CPU Performance**:
- Release binaries are built with file logging disabled (`ENABLE_LOGGING=OFF`), eliminating SD card / SD2Vita write latency and format-string overhead during gameplay.
- **🎵 Multi-Core Thread Affinity**:
- Main game loop pinned to **CPU Core 0** at 444 MHz.
- Audio mixing and background OGG playback isolated to **CPU Core 1** with zero SD card access (audio cached in RAM).
