Metroid Prime Remastered: a Switch static recompilation for Windows

Metroid Prime Remastered Recomp builds a Windows port from the user's Switch version 1.0.0 dump by translating game code to C++ ahead of time. Its runtime replaces Switch services and maps NVN graphics to Vulkan; the repository includes game-specific build files, symbols and validation notes.
