GTA IV for PS5: porting an Xbox 360 recompilation to PlayStation 5

GTA IV for PS5 ports the existing Xbox 360 static recompilation of Grand Theft Auto IV and its two episodes to a jailbroken PlayStation 5. Its added code supplies PS5 startup, a game-selection hub, trophy integration, controls, build steps, and packaging around the inherited recompilation and renderer.
