Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction: early PS3 matching decompilation

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction is an early matching decompilation of the USA PlayStation 3 release. Its tools inspect the package, SELF container and decrypted PPU ELF, recover function boundaries and compare compiled C bodies with retail bytes. The author reports byte-exact results for an initial set of functions while the full executable remains a long-term target.
