Merits
Having a standalone version of Tomb Raider would be neat in comparison in comparison to relying on DOSBox-X and the PlayStation version, this would also at least give a different take in terms of speedrunning and TASing especially with the visual enhancements it provides.

Research direction
Start with the linked OpenLara website and source repository to understand the proposed C/C++ core and its Win/Mac/Tux targets. Then review BizHawk's existing core-port process and determine the integration scope. Done means the port's feasibility, required work, and platform impact are established before implementation begins.
