Twisted Metal Re-Arc: matching reconstruction of the Japanese PlayStation game

Twisted Metal Re-Arc reconstructs code and data from the Japanese 1995 PlayStation release of Twisted Metal using matching decompilation. Its build splits the user's extracted SIPS_600.07 executable, compiles replacement C units and checks a headerless code-and-data image against the original.
