ReXGlue converts Xbox 360 PowerPC code into portable C++ that runs natively on modern platforms.

ReXGlue is heavily rooted on the foundations of Xenia, the Xbox 360 emulator. Rather than interpreting or JIT-compiling PPC instructions at runtime, ReXGlue takes a different path: it generates C++ source code ahead of time, an approach inspired by XenonRecomp and rexdex's recompiler.

ReXGlue

The list above is not exhaustive. Thanks to everyone in the ReXGlue community who contributes code, files issues, tests builds, and keeps the project moving.

Very Special Thank You:

  • Project Xenia - Their invaluable work on Xbox 360 emulation laid the groundwork for ReXGlue's development. This project (and numerous others) would not exist without their hard work and dedication.
  • XenonRecomp - For pioneering the modern static recompilation approach for Xbox 360. A lot of the codegen analysis logic and instruction translations are based on their work. Thank you!
  • rexdex's recompiler - The OG static recompiler for Xbox 360.
  • Many others in the Xbox 360 homebrew and modding communities whose work and research have contributed to the collective knowledge that makes projects like this possible.

    • Add name filter to IDA export script
    • Add -dev build version marker

    Fixes

    • Fix off-by-one in ObjectTable::LookupTable and RestoreHandle bounds check
    • Fix LogCaptureSink ring buffer race by synchronizing writes with mutable_mutex_
    • Fix console overlay losing command output on log sink refresh
    • Make g_snapshot atomic for safe cross-thread perf counter reads
    • Fix ODR violation caused by improper build propagation of profiling defines to rexcore (Thank you @Mystixor!)
