WCW Nitro: a checksum-checked PlayStation decompilation

WCW Nitro is a PlayStation game decompilation that rebuilds code from the SLUS_003.97 executable and WGAME.BIN and WMENU.BIN overlays. Its source tree contains reconstructed C files and build configurations; users supply files from their own disc, then run a checksum check on the generated binaries.
