EVA-Decomp: matching Neon Genesis Evangelion on Nintendo 64

EVA-Decomp reconstructs Neon Genesis Evangelion for Nintendo 64 as C and selected original assembly routines. Its build uses historical compilers and a user-provided ROM, then checks the resulting image by SHA-1. The author reports byte-identical output for the main program and eight overlays; a native PC port remains in preparation.
