About this project
ReXGlue translates the Xbox 360 PowerPC default.xex to C++; the Switch renderer uses Vulkan on Mesa NVK. This is the 2005 Xbox 360 game, distinct from the 2012 Android adaptation.

Known limitations
The first race can stutter while graphics pipelines compile. Resolution is chosen at startup and docking changes can require a restart; the README explains that some lower-resolution settings only scale the final image.

Getting started
Use the installer linked by the repository with your own ISO/XEX files, then copy the generated nfsmw-nx folder to /switch/. Required contents include the NRO, nfsmw.toml, shader package and game_root.

Use full-memory title mode. The documentation requires a 39-bit address space when using a forwarder. Its separate update package avoids copying all game data again.
