v0.1.0 - initial build kit

God of War II - native Android build kit v0.1.0

Sources-only kit for building an Android arm64 app from your own
God of War II (USA, SCUS_974.81) disc image. It is a static-recompilation
port, not an emulator frontend: EE code is translated to C++, VU1 microcode is
compiled AOT, and the GS runs through a native WebGPU/Vulkan renderer
(wgpu-native) with SDL3 for window, audio, gamepads, and lifecycle.

The release contains no game code, no ISO, no ELF, no generated C++, and no
APK. You build the APK on your machine from your own legally obtained disc.

Quick start

# unzip anywhere, then:
cd gow2-android-build-kit
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process Bypass
.\scripts\build-all.ps1 -Iso "D:\Games\God of War II (USA).iso"
adb install -r .\dist\gow2-debug.apk

Requirements: Git, CMake, Ninja, LLVM/Clang, Python 3, JDK 17, Android SDK
platform 35 / build-tools 35.0.0 / NDK 27.3.13750724 / CMake 3.30.5.

Verified in this release

• Disc boots through title, difficulty menu, intro cutscenes, and the opening
  Loom Chamber sequence with 3D characters and animation (software GS,
  headless runner, frame 3,500).
• 477,499 EE instructions translated into 118 units; 78 VU1 programs compiled
  AOT with no new captures after frame 3,000.
• 420-frame audio run produced 6.9 s of non-silent stereo SPU2 PCM.
• engine.patch applies cleanly to snuri00/ps2-web-recomp at
  6526f4803d98e10de50bea3af104a4d26e9df033; tools and ps2run build.
• Clean-kit workflow (setup -> build-tools -> extract-disc ->
  recompile -SkipExplore -> build-android) produced a valid APK.
• APK: single libmain.so, SDL_main + touch JNI exports, ELF LOAD align
  0x4000 (16 KB compatible), extractNativeLibs=true, debug-signed.

See VERIFICATION.md in the kit for the full log.

Known limitations

• Never launched on a physical device: Mali-G68/G77 performance, touch/audio
  latency, and thermals are unverified. Target is 30 fps at 1x.
• Dynamic resolution is not implemented (fixed 1x/2x scale).
• Some sound/*.bnk requests are unserved, so bank-driven music/voice can be
  missing; WAD-backed audio works.
• Only the USA DVD9 SCUS_974.81 image is supported.
