DOA3: an Android port of Dead or Alive 3

DOA3 adapts statically recompiled Dead or Alive 3 Xbox code for Android ARM64. Its runtime uses OpenGL ES 3 for graphics and SDL3 for audio and input, while the launcher reads resources directly from the user's USA ISO; the author reports startup, menus and a fight on one device.
