Case study

Skate 3: an early XenonRecomp boot experiment

This Skate 3 experiment uses XenonRecomp to analyze an Xbox 360 default.xex and generate PowerPC-derived C++ for a Windows build. Its launcher imports and validates a user-supplied ISO or extracted dump, while the runtime stages XEX loading and a guarded generated-code entry bridge.
