Splatoon 1 PC Port: statically recompiling the Wii U game

Splatoon 1 PC Port builds a Windows and Linux port of the Wii U game Splatoon by statically recompiling its RPX code to C++. Continuing RebrewU, it adds game-version manifests, a Cafe OS runtime, GX2-to-Vulkan rendering and a builder that uses the player's Wii U dump. The author describes the port as work in progress.
