Conker: Live & Reloaded — static recompilation of the Xbox game

Conker: Live & Reloaded translates the European original Xbox game's x86 XBE code into C++ for a native Windows x64 build. Game-specific configuration and hooks work with an Xbox runtime that replaces kernel, graphics, sound, and input services; technical notes document fixes for inlined Direct3D state.
