3 on 3 NHL Arcade: an Xbox 360 static recompilation for PC

3 on 3 NHL Arcade is ported to Windows by translating its Xbox 360 PowerPC executable to C++ with ReXGlue and compiling it for the PC. A launcher prepares files from the user's XBLA package, while an Android arm64 build is described as reaching the title screen and menus.
