Souls of the Reaper: a Diablo III Xbox 360 static recompilation

Souls of the Reaper ports the Xbox 360 release of Diablo III to Windows by translating its PowerPC executable to native x64 C++ with ReXGlue. The project supplies a manifest, kernel overrides, generated-code patches, and a launcher that uses files from the user's disc.
