# PGR4-Recomp: statically recompiling Project Gotham Racing 4

> PGR4-Recomp ports Project Gotham Racing 4 to x86-64. It uses the ReXGlue SDK to generate C++ ahead of time, and a DirectX renderer based on Plume. The README credits xextool for extracting the XEX from a dumped ISO, and points the launch steps to Setup.md. It describes the current tree as unfinished, with a later v2 still in progress.
