Case study

The Simpsons Arcade: an Xbox 360 static recompilation

The Simpsons Arcade port translates the Xbox 360 game's PowerPC executable into C++ with XenonRecomp and runs it through ReXGlue's native runtime. Its repository records XEX analysis, switch-table work, game-specific stubs and fixes for frame pacing and guest timebase scaling.
