Xena: Warrior Princess: PlayStation decompilation and static recompilation port

Xena: Warrior Princess combines a matching decompilation of the PlayStation release SLUS-00977 with a playable Windows port. The decompilation rebuilds the game executable from C and assembly, while a separate static recompiler translates its MIPS functions to C. A project runtime supplies GPU, GTE, SPU, CD-ROM, controller, and BIOS behavior through SDL2 and other host code.
