# Pac-Man Championship Edition: a native PC static recompilation

> Pac-Man Championship Edition recompiles the Xbox 360 Live Arcade game's PowerPC code to x86-64 for a native Windows build using ReXGlue. Game-specific hooks adjust frame pacing and playfield placement, and an optional mode rearranges Championship Mode mazes. The repository also records Xbox 360 imports found during an earlier XenonRecomp attempt.
