* On Apple Silicon (arm64), Gambatte (GB) is skipped by default in the CMake build.

† Built by default when BUILD_N64=ON and OpenGL headers are available. If headers are missing, the build skips the N64 core.

‡ Only available when hardware rendering is enabled (ENABLE_HW_RENDER=ON). Hardware rendering support is currently Linux-only in this project.
