 ### Local build process:
 
 - Run `0_build_everything.sh` in a terminal
+
+## Developer's notes
+
+The 3DS supports:
+- ✘ ARM NEON intrinsiscs
+- ✘ TLS (thread local storage)
+- ✔ floating point hardware (albeit slow)
+- ✔ mediocre CPU performance and memory size
+
+These often need to be patched in or out of the libraries.

 ### Local build process:
 
 - Run `0_build_everything.sh` in a terminal
+
+## Developer's notes
+
+The Wii U supports:
+- ✘ VMX intrinsics
+- ✘ TLS (thread local storage)
+- ✔ floating point hardware (slow, but present)
+
+These often need to be patched in or out of the libraries.
