Tombi!: matching PlayStation decompilation and native port

Tombi-Decomp reconstructs PlayStation Tombi! code as C compiled against the original discs and also builds a native Windows, Linux and Android port. Its progress reports compare individual functions byte for byte across PAL, US, Japanese and demo versions; the author reports 99.68% matching game code for the PAL reference.
