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.
