Pokopia Recomp: recompiling Pokémon Pokopia for Windows

Pokopia Recomp rebuilds Pokémon Pokopia for Nintendo Switch 2, version 2.0.1a, as a native Windows program. PokopiaLauncher.exe takes an extracted dump, or NSP and XCI files with the owner's key files, compiles the game, and then builds a shader cache. Windows 10 or 11 x64, Vulkan 1.3, and 16 GB of RAM are required. A source build copies exefs into game/dump/exefs and runs recomp/scripts/build_game.cmd pkp, then game-build/scripts/build.ps1. The toolchain is Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools, LLVM, CMake, Ninja, Python 3.13, the .NET 8 SDK, vcpkg, Rust, and Node.js.
