# Wreckless: recompiling The Yakuza Missions for Windows

> Wreckless uses xboxrecomp to translate the original Xbox game's x86 code into C and compile a native Windows executable. Its analysis documents XBE sections, kernel imports, function recovery and ABI work. The author reports that initialization runs but rendering and gameplay are still blocked by an indirect call into a function body.
