F-Zero GX: a matching GameCube decompilation

F-Zero GX is a work-in-progress matching C decompilation of the GameCube game's executable code. Its workflow compares functions with objdiff and linked outputs against retail hashes. The targets include the main DOL, main.rel extracted from the encrypted, compressed line__.bin archive, and screen-specific REL modules.
