Klonoa: Empire of Dreams — a matching GBA decompilation

Klonoa: Empire of Dreams reconstructs the USA Game Boy Advance game as C that aims to build a byte-identical ROM. It generates assembly for unfinished functions from the user's ROM, replaces functions with C, checks the ROM hash and records emulator experiments about game behavior.
