# Forza Horizon 2: an experimental Xbox 360 recompilation for Android

> Forza Horizon 2 Recomp Android targets an ARM64 Android port of the Xbox 360 game using XenonRecomp for PowerPC code and XenosRecomp for shaders. It contains a mobile runtime, JNI bridge, setup screen and touch HUD; the author reports offline translation of the executable and partial shader conversion, while gameplay integration remains unfinished.
