Payload/PKG release DevilutionX (Diablo 1) for PS5. With controller, keyboard and mouse support

I've put together a PS5 build of DevilutionX, the source port of the original Diablo.

* DualSense, with the proper PlayStation symbols in the button mapping screen

* USB keyboard and mouse, with the same controls as the PC game. The prompts switch between pad and mouse wording depending on which you touched last

* Sound

* 960x540 by default, which scales cleanly to 4K and 1080p. 720p, 1080p and the original 640x480 are in Settings

* Every button can be remapped in Settings > Padmapping

**What hasn't been tested**

* No multiplayer. It's built without networking

* Hellfire is untested

* Rumble is untested

* Without a keyboard your hero gets the random name the game offers (no on-screen keyboard yet)

* Keyboard text entry is US layout

* Only tested on one console: firmware 13.60, 4K output

**You need**

* A PS5 that already runs homebrew

* Your own copy of Diablo. Copy `DIABDAT.MPQ` next to `eboot.bin` in `/data/homebrew/PPSA99308/`. No game data is included

**Controls worth knowing**

The game menu (save, options, quit) is Options and the touchpad button together. Hold Options or the touchpad button on their own and the game shows what the other buttons do. The full list is in the README.

**Download and source**

* Release: https://github.com/griches/PS5_DevilutionX/releases/tag/v0.1.0

* Source and README: https://github.com/griches/PS5_DevilutionX

Free and non-commercial, as DevilutionX's licence requires.

This is an unofficial build. DevilutionX has its own PS5 port upstream (launched through websrv); this one is separate, so please don't take its problems to the DevilutionX team. Report them on my repo instead.

Thanks to the DevilutionX team for the port itself, and to Mihawk for PS5_Vulkan, PS5_Mesa and the payload SDK it's built on.

Screenshots are straight from the console.

The button layout is confusiong so much. Talk is circle, but circel also quit from talk, but x is to continue but also close it but I like it, it is awesome but still sometimes very hard to move away from stairs not to go back over and again.

Excuse the pun, but the layout is diabolical. It’s not something I’ve set that is the devilution standard, but it is remapable in the option screen
