Crash Bash: a PSX decompilation with function comparison

Crash Bash is an ongoing decompilation of the PlayStation game, with recovered code organized by game binary. The documented strategy proposes loading rewritten functions into PCSX-Redux memory and comparing their output with the original functions. Accompanying scripts analyze emulator traces and apply symbols to the results.
