Super Mario 64 DS, decompiled to the byte

I am rewriting Super Mario 64 DS back into C from scratch. The goal is source that
compiles, with the original toolchain, to a binary that is byte for byte identical to the
retail cartridge. When the bytes match, the source is known to be correct. The project is
past 60 percent matched, and you can watch it live at
https://bmanus2-dotcom.github.io/sm64ds-decomp

What is left is the hard part: large, one of a kind functions that take real reverse
engineering, plus the compute that the matching runs use to grind through them. Your
sponsorship goes straight to that, development time and compute. Most functions are matched
for free by the automatic tooling, and the rest cost only a few cents each, so a little
goes a long way.

Sponsors get a role and a private channel in the Discord, early progress updates, and a
vote on which game gets decompiled next when this one wraps up.
