ARMSX Future Roadmap

This file is for deferred work only. It does not describe current runtime behavior.

Deferred Features

Save states
- Build a versioned full-system serializer for psx_t and every emulated device.
- Recreate host-side renderer and audio resources after load instead of serializing them.
GLES renderer work
- Keep the current software PSX GPU and add an optional GL/GLES presentation backend.
- Re-evaluate a true hardware PS1 renderer separately if that ever becomes a goal.
Netplay
- Start with determinism validation and lockstep input sync before considering rollback.
- Treat save-state quality as a prerequisite for any serious online recovery flow.
Texture dumping and replacement
- Add stable texture hashing, dump tooling, manifests, and replacement lookup in the software pipeline.
- Revisit hardware-renderer-specific texture pack ideas only if a hardware GPU path exists later.
