Destruction Derby 2: portable C port of the PlayStation game

Destruction Derby 2 is ported from its USA PlayStation executable and overlays into portable C11 using SDL3. The source replaces the game's PSX SDK calls for graphics, sound, disc access, controls and memory cards, and builds its asset directory from the user's own disc image.
