Digimon World 2003: a handheld port of the matching decompilation

Digimon World 2003 adapts an upstream matching decompilation and PC port for RK3326 Linux handhelds including the R36S and XF35H. The fork adds direct framebuffer output, a Mali GLES renderer, Cortex-A35 and NEON performance work, a gamepad menu and PortMaster packaging. The decompilation and PC port originate with gascarcella/dw2003recomp.
