2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil: a ReXGlue Windows recompilation

2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Recompiled translates the Xbox 360 game code to C++ with ReXGlue and builds a native Windows port. A launcher selects and checks the user’s disc image or game folder; the repository contains game fixes, SDK patches and build instructions while generating translated code locally.
