Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream gets a native Windows recomp, 0.1.1-beta

A static recompilation of Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream (Nintendo Switch) turns the game's own code into C and builds it into a native Windows program, with no emulator underneath. The creator calls it a beta that, as far as they know, plays from start to finish, and the README shows game version 1.0.4 rendered at 4K in widescreen. 0.1.1-beta went up on 29 October, hours after 0.1.0. Nothing from the game is in the repo or the download: an installer builds it on your own PC from your own Switch dump and your own console keys. Versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.4 are supported.
