# Midnight Club: Los Angeles — static recompilation of the Xbox 360 game

> This statically recompiles Midnight Club: Los Angeles Complete Edition for Xbox 360, title id 545407F8, with the ReXGlue SDK. Only the USA and Europe disc image is supported. On Windows, scripts/make_pc.ps1 takes that ISO and builds mcla.exe with Direct3D 12. Career, races, and the garage play at 30 FPS by default, and the frame-rate option also lists 60 and 120. The Linux build uses Clang 20, Vulkan 1.3, and ReXGlue v0.10.0, then scripts/play_linux.sh. A separate build targets a PS5 that already runs homebrew.
