Parasite Eve II: matching PlayStation decompilation of the USA release

Parasite Eve II Decompilation reconstructs the USA PlayStation game's executable, resident and title overlays, and code packages as buildable C. The author reports byte-identical output using the original GCC toolchain and checksum checks against the user's two game discs; the repository also documents game formats and matching techniques.
