Animal Crossing gcNX: a native Switch port of the GameCube decompilation

Animal Crossing gcNX ports the decompiled GameCube game to Nintendo Switch by compiling its code for ARM and translating GX graphics to OpenGL ES. It reads game resources from the user's USA disc image; the repository also documents an Android port built on the same decompilation.
