## What it is
XenonRecomp is a static recompilation tool that converts Xbox 360 (PowerPC) executables into C++ code that can be recompiled into native executables for any platform. It is inspired by N64: Recompiled and requires users to provide their own runtime implementation to make converted games functional.

## Use cases
- recompile an Xbox 360 game to run natively on PC
- convert PowerPC game code to C++ for porting
- create a native port of a console game without full emulation
- preserve Xbox 360 games as native executables
- port a 360 title to Linux or other platforms

## When to choose
- you want a native port of an Xbox 360 game rather than emulator overhead
- you have the expertise to build the required runtime yourself
- you want to statically translate PPC machine code to C++

## When to avoid
- you expect a plug-and-play emulator with runtime included
- your game relies on MMIO hardware operations, which are unimplemented
- you need human-readable decompiled output
