Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance runs natively on a modded Nintendo Switch via static recompilation

tuancapoo's mgr-nx-deko is an experimental native Nintendo Switch homebrew port of the Xbox 360 version of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, not an emulator. The game's PowerPC code is statically recompiled to C++ with ReXGlue, and its graphics are drawn by the Renut renderer on the Switch's own deko3d API, the same route the sa2-nx Sonic Adventure 2 port took. The README reports boot, menus and gameplay working, with 40 to 52 fps in gameplay on an overclocked handheld. v0.2.2 landed on 23 October, a day after the first release. The repo holds no game files or game code.
