# Rayman Origins Recompiled: translating the Xbox 360 game for desktop and Android

> Rayman Origins Recompiled translates the Xbox 360 game's PowerPC executable to native C++ for desktop and Android. A game-specific detector recovers jump tables missed by XenonAnalyse, while host code supplies Xbox 360 services and a Vulkan renderer draws frames with translated shaders. The author reports gameplay with audio and controls on Apple Silicon macOS and Android.
