Blast Corps: matching N64 decompilation and native port

Blast Corps reconstructs four N64 releases as matching source and builds a native port from that code for Linux, Windows, macOS and WebAssembly. The port reads the user's ROM for game data; the author reports byte-for-byte ROM rebuilds and a full tool-assisted-run replay.
