Super Mario 64: a PlayStation port of reconstructed game source

sm64-psx ports reconstructed Super Mario 64 source to the original PlayStation. It replaces floating-point-heavy paths with fixed-point math, translates RSP display lists into a PSX-oriented format and converts textures, while extracting required assets from a user-provided US ROM.
