Ridge Racer 6 Recomp: an Xbox 360 static recompilation

Ridge Racer 6 Recomp translates the Xbox 360 game's PowerPC program to C++ for a native Windows build on ReXGlue. Its launcher extracts the user's disc image, while game-specific code addresses saves, input, display and rendering behavior; the repository also records SDK issues found during bring-up.
