XFXFramework

C++ implementation of XNA For XBOX

XFX, or XNA for XBOX is an implementation of XNA 4.0, written in C++ for Microsofts XBOX console. It's written on top of OpenXDK, the open source, free, legal XBOX Development Kit.

XFX is an attempt to bring development for the original XBOX console to the masses by wrapping all low-level code in the familiar XNA classes. Being written in C++ allows XFX to be lightweight and as close to the hardware as possible.

Compiling XFX requires at least OpenXDK version 0.7
