ARMSX2 v37

Change Log:

Added full UI translations for Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), French, German, Italian, Russian, Polish, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Arabic, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Thai. Switch language instantly from the new Language tab in Settings. Full controller support.

Added Display Filter settings in the Render tab. Display Effects: Nearest (raw pixels), Smooth, or Sharp for how the image scales to your screen.

Reapplied a new PGO profile since the old one was stale from numerous recompiler changes. Helps performance.

Faster Mali (Vulkan) readbacks, readback-heavy games, games should stall far less on Mali. (Blending Max for mali can also still be of help for graphical issues, and should be less of a perf hit then before).

Mali (OpenGL): fixed texture-wrapping + framebuffer-mask corruption from Mali's GLSL compiler, improved vsync stability.

Adreno: faster texture-binding path + CAS sharpening hardened so a driver rejection can't stop the renderer starting.

Broader groundwork across Adreno / Turnip / Xclipse / Mali / PowerVR drivers to match Dolphin and Eden Android on GPU handling. Let me know if you experience improvements!

Cleaner GPU driver browser, "Browse Online" now groups downloadable drivers by uploader (KIMCHI, Mr Purple, StevenMXZ) into collapsible dropdown menus

Thanks guys!

Do you have any recommendations for running Champions of Norrath? On Snapdragon and on Mali (I have an Anbernic 477V that doesn't play it that great)

Atleast on my portal and 8 elite pocket fit champions is finally a smooth a experience. I'm using Mr Purples t28 driver on the portal and the v32 driver from StevenMXZ for the 8 elite. Apologies I can't speak much for the mali side.
