# KameoRecomp: a Windows static recompilation of Kameo

> KameoRecomp ports the Xbox 360 game Kameo: Elements of Power to Windows by statically translating its code to C++ and compiling it with the ReXGlue SDK. A Vulkan renderer draws the game's graphics calls, while a launcher installs the required files from the user's ISO. The release adds widescreen display and higher frame-rate options.
