SSX Tricky: an in-progress matching PlayStation 2 decompilation

SSX Tricky reconstructs source for the NTSC-U PlayStation 2 release and builds it against a user-provided SLUS_203.26 executable. The Ninja build checks the resulting image byte for byte, with tools for locating the first differing symbol and comparing object files.
