Tokyo Jungle Recompiled: a PS3 static recompilation bring-up

Tokyo Jungle Recompiled translates the PS3 game's PowerPC executable into native PC code with ps3recomp and supplies game-specific loading, import and runtime glue. Its investigation documents PPU functions, SPU workloads, asset loading and a main-loop wait that currently blocks geometry rendering.
