Requirements & limits

The installer asks for the player's European disc image and a title update file, and checks both against the build. DLC packages are optional.
A source build needs Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools, LLVM clang-cl, CMake, Ninja, Python 3, and an FFmpeg Windows x64 LGPL shared build for XMA audio.
The README does not name a license for the port. FFmpeg stays under its own LGPL license.
