SSX Tricky Recomp: native Linux recompilation of the Xbox game

SSX Tricky Recomp generates native code from a user-supplied US retail Xbox copy of SSX Tricky and builds a Linux runtime around it. The source includes an analysis pipeline, Xbox recompilation toolkit patches and graphics, controller and audio integration; the author reports tested races and saves, with progression coverage still incomplete.
