LARVa - Bridging LoongArch to RISC-V

This project is a proof-of-concept RISC-V emulator aiming at near-native execution performance on LoongArch. Support may expand to other architectures in the future, if the techniques employed here prove useful and reasonably arch-independent.

The project is named after a popular but extremely difficult chart with the same name, in the rhythm game maimai. Binary translation is hard, running such logic in privileged mode is even harder; while I cannot play the maimai chart at all, I do hope to manage the difficulty here somehow!
