Crash Bandicoot PC: a native port from matching decompiled source

Crash Bandicoot PC ports the North American PlayStation game to native C11 on macOS and Linux from a matching decompilation. It keeps the game's PS1 memory layout, routes GPU packets through PsyZ and reads the player's CUE/BIN disc image; the author reports playable levels and focused disc-based tests.
