GoldenRecomp: statically recompiling GoldenEye 007

GoldenRecomp is a recompilation of GoldenEye 007 built with a modified N64Recomp. It needs ge007.tlbfree.elf and ge007.tlbfree.z64 from the TBLFREE_NOCOMPRESSION branch of kholdfuzion/goldeneye_src. That branch removes the TLB and leaves the ROM decompressed, so a console build of the ROM needs 8 MB of RAM. N64Recomp.exe us.toml and RSPRecomp.exe aspMain.us.toml generate the code. Visual Studio then builds GoldenRecomp.exe. The reviewed page says the game runs stably and the sound works. Multiplayer UI, the dam and frigate sky and water, and some weapon fire rates are still open.
