pc-castlevaniajudgment: statically recompiling Castlevania Judgment for PC

pc-castlevaniajudgment builds a native PC port of the Wii game Castlevania Judgment by translating its PowerPC executable to C++ with wiikit. Game-specific scripts identify functions using Dolphin symbols and a related executable, while a hook layer maps controller state. The author reports reaching menus, save creation and fights in an initial session.
