Slip Stream: static recompilation of a Sega System 32 arcade game

Slip Stream translates the arcade game's V60 program from the player's ROM into C and runs it with a Sega System 32 board model on Windows or Linux. The translation driver follows reference execution to emit functions. The author reports matching state hashes against a MAME based reference runner over 1,800 frames and a separate video comparison during development; the port remains unfinished.
