AC6Recomp: static recompilation of Ace Combat 6

AC6Recomp is a native PC port of Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation built with the ReXGlue SDK. The README says the Xbox 360 PowerPC game code is statically recompiled to x86-64, while visible rendering stays in the vendored RexGlue/Xenia graphics backend. It describes the project as a work in progress that can boot and run in game.
