Legend of Mana: a matching decompilation of the PlayStation game

A matching decompilation of Legend of Mana on the PlayStation. The user supplies the North American executable SLUS_010.13, SHA-1 d11dfdd50d412ac3fa3e2eb80fbde138da118f27; make verify-bins checks the rebuilt main executable and overlays against the disc files.

Requirements & limits

Prerequisites: Commit c34db9803ae8cb58d45060a8246e161de690ece3. The README says both the North American and Japanese releases are 100 percent matched. North America is disc SLUS-01013, main executable SLUS_010.13, SHA-1 d11dfdd50d412ac3fa3e2eb80fbde138da118f27. Japan is SLPS-02170, main executable SLPS_021.70, SHA-1 b067188a92e4de9a4db7bb7e5343c757e9884bfa. The game executable is excluded from the repository; disc/ is gitignored.
Testing evidence: make verify-bins checks the North American modules, and make verify-bins VERSION=jp checks the Japanese modules. The README says the main executable and all 17 overlays are fully linked, and that the Psy-Q SDK libraries are still linked from the original assembly.
