Syphon Filter 2 Recompiled: a native Windows build of the PS1 game

Syphon Filter 2 Recompiled is an experimental Windows static recompilation of the two-disc USA release, bootstrapped from SCUS-94451 and built with PSXRecomp. Release v0.1.3-alpha runs the retail game logic as a native x64 program. The launcher can add 16:9, PGXP-assisted geometry, and mouse camera control.
