powertools, SMT off, set threads to 2

both this game and resurrection run smoothly with decky loader and powertools installed with the settings listed and have really bad freezing issues without it. opening has audio sync/stutter issues half the time and all other anime/prerendered cutscenes (at least in resurrection) don't play properly (have audio, video replaced with generic color bars). all in-game cutscenes play properly and audio has no issues playing otherwise. it's possible this could be fixed by changing the video file type but, seeing as i have no clue how the game loads those files, this could also just cause more problems than it would fix.

games also have a few other issues (specifically particle effects being invisible when overlapping with the skybox in any way and the ai not exactly behaving as intended) but those have to do with the ports themselves and nothing on the deck's end as they also occur on my laptop running windows.

overall definitely a good way to play these games if you don't mind taking a stop to youtube for the broken cutscenes. also recommend the fanmade ai patch to mostly fix the somewhat buggy companions.
