Xemu Dev Builds Incorporate DSP JIT Engine, Address High-Res UI Blurriness

The Xemu original Xbox emulator's latest development builds feature significant emulation enhancements. A new DSP56300 emulator with a Just-In-Time (JIT) execution engine has been implemented for the audio processing unit. While this new JIT engine aims to improve audio accuracy and performance, it is currently disabled by default in these pre-release builds as of August 27, 2026. Graphics rendering also sees notable fixes, with an issue causing blurry 2D and UI elements at internal resolutions greater than 1x specifically addressed in the Vulkan backend. This correction improves visual fidelity for users playing at increased internal resolutions. Additionally, PTIMER alarm interrupts have been implemented, contributing to more accurate timing emulation.
