Twin Snakes Native Port: GameCube code analysis toward static recompilation

Twin Snakes Native Port analyzes the GameCube executables of Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes for a planned native recompilation. Its workflow uses Ghidra, decomp-toolkit, signature matching, and DolRecomp to recover function boundaries and symbols and translate PowerPC code to C. The repository also contains runtime code for GameCube SDK services; current work centers on symbol recovery.
