PaRappa the Rapper: decompiling the PlayStation game

This decompiles PaRappa the Rapper. The player extracts an ISO into iso/. XA and STR files must use 2336-byte sectors. The included syncstrip tool cuts 2352-byte sectors from jPSXdec down to 2336. Compile steps follow PSXFunkin without its ISO make targets.
