Burnout 3: Takedown — Xbox static recompilation

This repository is a static recompilation of the Xbox version of Burnout 3: Takedown into a native Windows executable. The README says xboxrecomp lifts the game's x86 code to C, and the game boots through its own entry point on that toolkit's Xbox runtime.
