Sonic Generations Recompiled: an Xbox 360 static recompilation

Sonic Generations Recompiled translates the Xbox 360 game's PowerPC code into native C++ with XenonRecomp and builds host services for kernel calls, audio, input, files and graphics. A newer Windows path uses ReXGlue with Vulkan graphics experiments; the author describes both paths as incomplete for game-level play.
