Xbox 360 Native Ports: static recompilations of Xbox 360 games

This repository ships Linux and Windows launchers that statically recompile Xbox 360 titles to x86-64 and draw them with Vulkan. rexmenu imports an ISO, an archive, an STFS package, an XEX, or an extracted folder, then checks the tree against content/content.sha256. The title table lists Burnout Revenge, Ridge Racer Unbounded, Midnight Club: Los Angeles Complete Edition, Split/Second, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, Rez HD, Soulcalibur II HD Online, After Burner Climax, Hydro Thunder Hurricane, Space Giraffe, OutRun Online Arcade, Daytona USA, and Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions. Linux needs gamescope and Python 3. Windows 10 or 11 runs Launcher.bat. Saves stay in user-data.
