Bloodborne: a native Windows port of the PS4 executable

Bloodborne PC Windows Port runs the PS4 game's x86-64 executable directly on a Windows PC. It adapts a Linux port with Win32 memory, threading, and file services, while a shadPS4-based core translates PS4 graphics to Vulkan; the user supplies the decrypted game files.
