Oogie's Revenge Recomp: an Xbox static recompilation for PC

Oogie's Revenge Recomp builds a Windows port of the USA Xbox game Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge by translating x86 functions into C++ with xboxrecomp. Its runtime replaces Xbox kernel and SDK services, while a Direct3D 11 renderer translates the game's Direct3D 8 shaders to HLSL. Game data comes from the player's disc image.
