Burnout Dominator Reversed: a PS2 static recompilation

Burnout Dominator Reversed builds a native PC port of the European PS2 release by translating its main CPU code with PS2Recomp and its vector-unit programs into C++. It uses paraLLEl-GS for graphics and supplies I/O and audio subsystems; the author reports play through the last World Tour event.
