GT5 Native Recomp: an early Gran Turismo 5 static recompilation

GT5 Native Recomp is an early static recompilation of Gran Turismo 5 for Windows x86-64. Its pipeline lifts PS3 PPU and SPU code ahead of time into a native runtime that supplies PS3 services and uses Vulkan for RSX commands; the author reports reaching audio and controller initialization without a game frame.
