Juiced 2 Recompiled: an Xbox 360 static recompilation for Windows

Juiced 2 Recompiled builds a native Windows port of the Xbox 360 Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights by statically translating the user's executable with ReXGlue. It supplies a game-specific function fix list, SDK patches for code generation, texture layout and music, and a launcher with a heap workaround. The author reports that the preview boots, plays through Career league 7 and saves, while graphics and performance faults remain.
