reUndr 2: porting Need for Speed: Underground 2 to PS5

reUndr 2 ports the original Xbox Need for Speed: Underground 2 to homebrew-enabled PS5 consoles using ahead-of-time C translation and a replacement graphics, audio and input runtime. Its PS5 host builds on an existing recompilation and loads game files from the user's own Xbox disc image.
