pc-monsterhunter3: a static recompilation of Monster Hunter Tri

pc-monsterhunter3 ports the European Wii release of Monster Hunter Tri to PC by translating its PowerPC executable and 21 RSO modules into C++ with wiikit. The repository records disc and code findings and supplies game-specific hooks. The author reports reaching the village and a first quest with gamepad input.
