Army of Two: The 40th Day — an Xbox 360 static recompilation preview

Army of Two: The 40th Day Recomp translates the Xbox 360 game's default.xex PowerPC code to C++ with ReXGlue for a Windows x64 build. The repository adds title-specific function configuration, fixes and launch settings. The author reports menus, the first Shanghai chapter and a Highrise combat segment working, while later gameplay requires more engine functions, boss scripts and saves.
