SpyroEngine: a native PC port of the PlayStation Spyro trilogy

SpyroEngine ports the original PlayStation Spyro trilogy to PC with title-specific native subsystems and psxport's Lightrec executor for remaining MIPS code. It authenticates each player's game executable before running it, and records per-title progress on presentation, terrain and gameplay paths.
