 # XenonRecomp
 
-XenonRecomp is a tool that converts Xbox 360 executables into C++ code, which can then be recompiled for any platform. Currently, it only supports x86 platforms due to the use of x86 intrinsics.

 The FPU expects denormalized numbers to remain unmodified, while VMX instructions always flush them. This is managed by storing the current floating-point state in the CPU state struct and enabling or disabling denormal flushing as necessary before executing each instruction.
 
-Most VMX instructions are implemented using x86 intrinsics. Luckily, the number of AVX intrinsics used is relatively low, so adding support for other architectures using libraries like [SIMD Everywhere](https://github.com/simd-everywhere/simde) might be possible.

 ## Special Thanks
 
 This project could not have been possible without the [Xenia](https://github.com/xenia-project/xenia) emulator, as many parts of the CPU code conversion process has been implemented by heavily referencing its PPC code translator. The project also uses code from [Xenia Canary](https://github.com/xenia-canary/xenia-canary) to patch XEX binaries.
