v0.4.0 M5: low-end performance preset row (D372)

Video.LowEndMode (default off) in F10 VIDEO: ON writes FpsCap 30 +
MSAA x1 (restart row); OFF restores the compiled defaults (60/2) rather
than per-user pre-preset values. The key records the last selected
preset; the effect flows through the two real knobs.

Unchanged-detent/audio and Draw/LOD reapply fixed; other image sliders still request full video pass (live log shows frequent FOV passes). No further churn without focused repro. |

MODERN section dropped per D356 Turok-standard rule (rows land in functional INPUT). Boot/ini-round-trip/F10-page verified; in-game feel-check owed. |

+## D372 — Low-end performance preset row (v0.4.0 modern options wave, M5) (2026-09-27)
+
+**Spec:** `docs/dev/notes/MODERN-OPTIONS-PLAN.md` M5. One row in the
+functional VIDEO section (no MODERN bucket — same D356 Turok-standard
+decision as D371).
+
+**Implementation (port-only; `port/src/video.c`, `port/src/optionsoverlay.c`):**
+- `Video.LowEndMode` (0/1, default 0) registered in `videoConfigInit`. The
+  key only records which preset the user last selected; the effect flows
+  through the two real knobs.
+- F10 row "Low-end mode (restart)" (VIDEO section, after Frame rate cap):
+  ON → `rowSet(Video.FpsCap, 30)` + `rowSet(Video.MSAA, 1)`; OFF → 60 / 2
+  (the compiled defaults). We do NOT remember per-user pre-preset values —
+  the defaults are the N64-original setting, and a single well-known restore
+  point is simpler and predictable (deviation from plan §M5's
+  "pre-toggle values" wording; plan's parenthetical already notes the
+  defaults are the expected pre-toggle state).
+- FpsCap applies live (`videoRequestLiveConfig` via the row's own commit);
+  MSAA is a restart row (applied at next GL context rebuild), hence the
+  "(restart)" label.
+- `kResetDefaults`: `Video.LowEndMode = 0`.
+
+**Verification:** NTSC build clean. F10 VIDEO page (`GE_OPTIONSOVERLAY=6`)
+boots clean — row resolves, no "not registered" warning. `LowEndMode=1`
+survives an orderly `GE_QUITFRAME` exit. **Owed:** live F10 preset
+toggle (ON→FpsCap/MSAA written, FPS readout drops to 30), restart-for-MSAA
+check, PAL/JP.
