# Xerenge: recompiling Burnout Revenge for PC

> Xerenge recompiles the Xbox 360 retail releases of Burnout Revenge to C++ ahead of time. Europe hashes to SHA-256 34c1bd4d549c2c53f29d814fa5e5d1c04c533c5ca0c39e57b6c2538f44ff59b4. The USA release, supported since 0.4.7, hashes to 7abf689f52b70666ba92052bd157cfcae9ed6290dae298fbf639baa1d169f92b. Each build uses its own default.xex. ./scripts/bootstrap.sh takes the ISO, then rexglue/run.sh starts the game. A Vulkan machine is required. Apple silicon Macs are supported. Intel Macs are not. The renderer is the project's plume plugin.
