ssb64-dc: porting Super Smash Bros. to Dreamcast

ssb64-dc ports the N64 Super Smash Bros. decompilation to Sega Dreamcast. It replaces N64 graphics, audio, and memory paths with Dreamcast implementations, while build tools convert assets from the user's US ROM. The author describes the port as playable but still affected by minor visual issues.
