Add xbox 360 platform #1651

Xbox 360 decomp projects:

Available Compilers:

Difficulties:

  • No assembler/objdumper for eXtended COFF (PPC) format that cl.exe produces:
    • No support for creating scratches via assembly (only uploading .obj)
    • No support for asm-differ (only objdiff) - breaks scoring etc.
  • cl.exe does not run via wibo (runs fine under wine)

If we are to add Xbox 360 as a platform to the site I suggest we have a way to prevent users trying to upload asm (until/unless an assembler is found or written) as they will just get confused/annoyed.

Changes required:

  • add new xbox360 platform (easy)
  • add new compiler (easy)
  • add b"\xf2\x01" to COFF list (easy)
  • objdiff scoring (medium)
  • graceful fallback for lack of as/objdump (i.e. zero asm-differ support)
  • disablexbox360 platform in /new scratch patch
