MELEE360: porting Super Smash Bros. Melee to Xbox 360

MELEE360 ports reconstructed Super Smash Bros. Melee code to a native Xbox 360 XEX. It adapts the game to PowerPC, D3D9/Xenos and XInput while reading original resources from a user-supplied NTSC-U 1.02 disc image. The author reports bounded Xenia tests, with campaign content and physical-console operation still incomplete.
