Harvest Moon: Back to Nature: matching PS1 executable reconstruction

backtonature-decompiled reconstructs the US PlayStation release of Harvest Moon: Back to Nature as C that compiles to a byte-identical SLUS_011.15 executable. Its build generates reference assembly and game data locally from a user-provided copy, then checks individual functions and the full executable.
