LMA Manager 2007: an Xbox 360 static recompilation in Rust

LMA Manager 2007 statically translates the Xbox 360 game's PowerPC code into Rust from a user's disc image. A native runtime replaces console kernel, graphics and audio services, and the repository includes XEX loading, decoding, translation and application crates. The author reports that the game plays with career mode, 3D matches, saves and sound.
