Xemu v0.8.136 Boosts Performance with x86-64-v3 Optimizations, Improves UI Scaling

The xemu-project released version 0.8.136 of its Xbox emulator yesterday, June 10. This update notably enables x86-64-v3 architectural optimizations for release builds, which can lead to improved performance on compatible processors. The release also addresses user interface experience by accounting for pixel density and display scaling, ensuring a more consistent visual presentation across various displays. For Linux users, the update sets SDL_HINT_VIDEO_DRIVER to "wayland,x11", potentially improving display driver selection and compatibility on modern desktop environments. The underlying SDL3 subproject has also been bumped to version 3.4.10. These changes collectively aim to enhance both the emulator's performance and its integration with diverse operating system environments.
