    • Fixed graphical corruption issues with Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
    • Ray-Tracing is now available in DOOM Eternal
    • Fixed graphical corruption in Resident Evil 4

I think for me "stretching" the size of screen to 8", and removing borders this way would be better... the size of SD is great, i dont need it to be smaller, i feel like this 1inch would make a big difference in some games, or maybe im just old and my eyes are bad... :D

i'm yet to try it, but i somehow doubt the power of the deck is enough for RT, is it?
