Jersey Devil v0.2.1 — original-disc AOT overlays

Jersey Devil now prepares native overlay coverage directly from the original USA disc before gameplay. The release includes all five secondary executables and five distinct renderer banks across 70 occurrences, using reusable extraction methods in psxrecomp.

Windows and Linux each ship 13 audited native modules with 4,313 guarded entry records. Both packagers freshly extract and audit all 11 configured recipes on every release; historical RAM captures and caches are not build inputs.

Validation: all 163 relevant compressed members match execution of the original MIPS decoder; framework regression tests and all three game tests pass; both packaged builds reach rendered game scenes with runtime overlay compilation disabled. Final user gameplay checks remain useful, and complete static execution coverage is not claimed. One byte-verified 100-byte Save helper remains on fallback because it contains an unsupported original instruction.

The existing optional widescreen and frame interpolation mods are included. Further extreme-aspect rendering fixes are being investigated separately.

Download the Windows ZIP or Linux AppImage plus its SHA-256 file. Supply your own USA disc; no game image or retail BIOS is included. OpenBIOS and runtime overlay fallback tooling are bundled.

The runtime enables its native cache at startup, and the shared release pipeline
rejects packaged configurations that would leave the shipped modules unused.
