Inspired by the N64: Recompiled project for Nintendo 64 games, XenonRecomp is a similar project for ports of Xbox 360 titles to PC.
The project aims to allow Xbox 360 titles to be preserved and playable on PC, and also allows for graphical improvements to the ported titles.
It’s not a straightforward process, however, and requires significant technical skills and knowledge to convert the original Title Toshi binaries into C++ and then into x86 binaries for PC.
There are several issues to be worked out, including support for PPC instructions, vector instructions (VMX), jump tables, and MMIO.
As a demonstration, the game Sonic Unleashed has been successfully ported, and a YouTube video reviews theport and the improvements over the original.
