NFS CARBON 360 DECOMP: an Xbox 360 static recompilation for Android

NFS CARBON 360 DECOMP translates the Xbox 360 release of Need for Speed Carbon from PowerPC code to C++ for Android ARM64 and Windows x64 builds. Its game-specific analysis maps Direct3D functions and shader containers for a Vulkan renderer; the author reports complete scene rendering on one Android device, with full races still untested.
