Case study

WWE 2K14 Recomp: a native Windows port by Xbox 360 static recompilation

WWE 2K14 Recomp builds a native Windows x64 port by translating the Xbox 360 game's PowerPC code into C++ ahead of time with ReXGlue. Its game-specific work maps functions in title update 2.0.1.0 and repairs startup, cloth, texture and timing behavior. The author reports working menus, exhibition matches and saves, while several modes remain incompletely tested.
