Fixes: - D565: AI awareness no longer follows two player render settings. Fog distance is floored at 100 (below it the shortened clip hid guards from AI on-screen checks); the D466 gameplay fog cull is rescaled to the game's own FOV (identity at defaults). - D566: Steam Deck Game Mode no longer shows the on-screen keyboard at launch (SDL text input stopped; screen-keyboard hint off). - D567: opening PC Options from the front end with a pad no longer drags the game's crosshair to the top-left corner. Docs and site: - README News/Status/Features/controls brought up to date; the unpublished v0.4.1 work is folded into v0.5.0 everywhere; stats to v0.5.0. - Release notes reordered: player-facing highlights first, finding labels and verification at the bottom. - Site status rewritten; favicon is now the exe icon (make_icon.py writes docs/favicon.ico). - ROADMAP: AI review results, update-check follow-up, stale rows closed. Verified: Windows + Linux builds; Windows pixel gate Surface 1 PASS; Deck build deployed for the maintainer's Game Mode checks.

## Saves
|
|
|
|
GoldenEye's N64 save is **EEPROM-based** — the controller's EEPROM
|
|
(`osEeprom*`), not a Memory Pak. The port backs it with a **plain file**,
|
|
`data/ge007.eep` next to the executable, so your progress is a file you can
|
|
copy to back it up (or move to another machine).
|
|
|
|
A few details:
|
|
|
|
- The **PFS / Memory-Pak and motor (Rumble Pak) code** is only for accessory
|
|
detection and is stubbed to report "no accessory," so the game proceeds
|
|
without a Memory Pak.
|
|
- **Emulator saves load directly** — an emulator-format `ge007.eep` placed
|
|
in `data/` is converted on first launch, so a Project64, mupen or 1964
|
|
save continues in the port (see the README's *Using an emulator save*).
|
|
- The save's **checksum is part of the file format**. The PRNG/CRC the save
|
|
depends on is kept byte-stable, because changing it would silently
|
|
invalidate existing saves — a porting-notes finding (D9).
|
|
- `-fresh` (a launch option) wipes the save and settings for a clean-slate run.
|
|
|
|
*More: [internals](internals.md) §7; the checksum finding is
|
|
[porting notes](porting-notes.md) D9.*
