Luigi's Mansion: a PS5 port of the static recompilation

Luigi's Mansion for the PlayStation 5 ports an existing static recompilation of the GameCube game to PS5 homebrew. Its builder translates code from the user's USA disc into C++ and compiles it for the console, while this repository supplies PS5 platform shims, input, build scripts and builder apps. The author reports play through file selection into the game.
