Destruction Derby 2 Recompiled: a PlayStation setup host for local static recompilation

Destruction Derby 2 Recompiled provides a setup host and game-specific configuration for locally generating a PlayStation static recompilation from the user's USA disc. It uses PSXRecomp and recomp-ui, with function seeds and symbol mapping. Project notes document a multi-BIN disc identity correction, and the author reports gameplay in a private build.
