Crazy Taxi: an Xbox 360 XBLA static recompilation for PC

ctxbla statically recompiles the 2010 Xbox 360 XBLA release of Crazy Taxi into native x86-64 PC code with XenonRecomp and ReXGlue. The repository documents STFS and XEX extraction, executable-section analysis, game-specific stubs, and input and timing fixes. The author reports that the runtime reaches gameplay, while in-game audio is absent and some gameplay events can crash.
