# Forza Motorsport 4: a native PC static recompilation

> Forza Motorsport 4 is brought to Windows by translating the Xbox 360 USA Rev 1 game's PowerPC code into C++ with ReXGlue. A project runtime supplies graphics, audio, input and storage services, while a launcher installs data from the player's discs and configures controls; the author reports local menu and race runs.
