Blast Corps: a matching Nintendo 64 decompilation

A work-in-progress decompilation reconstructs the Nintendo 64 game Blast Corps from a user-supplied ROM. It currently builds the US Rev 1 release and checks the output ROM byte for byte against the original. The repository includes C source, assembly, symbols and notes on game code and decompilation.
