# Midnight Club: Los Angeles — RECOMP: an Xbox 360 static recompilation for PC

> Midnight Club: Los Angeles — RECOMP translates the Xbox 360 game's PowerPC executable into native x64 C++ for Windows using ReXGlue. The repository supplies game hooks, executable patches and a documented map of Xenos register state; its native graphics path currently reads and logs that state in shadow mode.
