L4D PC Recomp: a Left 4 Dead Xbox 360 boot harness

L4D PC Recomp uses XenonRecomp to lift Left 4 Dead's Xbox 360 PowerPC modules into C++ for a Windows x64 boot harness. The repository provides per-module configs, a guest-memory arena, dispatch table and kernel stubs. Its documented progress reaches launcher and filesystem initialization; rendering and gameplay remain unfinished.
