Virtua Fighter 3 Recomp: native port of the Model 3 arcade game

Virtua Fighter 3 Recomp runs the arcade game's PowerPC program as native ARM64 or x86-64 code translated from the user's ROM at startup. Its own runtime models the Sega Model 3 board, tile generator, and Real3D graphics, with native rendering and input on desktop systems.
