Update 1.1.3 (v851968), SDK 18.3.2. LÖVE 11.4 ("Mysterious Mysteries", love-nx) with LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3 in its interpreter and SDL: the game is Lua source in the RomFS (main.lua, game.lua, engine/, functions/), its pictures PNG, its sound Ogg Vorbis through OpenAL Soft on the audio renderer. It renders with OpenGL, not NVN: NVIDIA's desktop GL 4.5 through EGL, which the host implements on Metal (dm/gfx/gl/hle_gl.m) on the core profile's paths. Modules main and sdk; sdk is the same build as Absolum's (0100A83022A22000). subsdk0 (NVIDIA's OpenGL driver) and subsdk1 (NVIDIA's Vulkan driver) are never loaded.
