Convert XEX to EXE

Can you convert XEX to EXE?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert XEX to EXE?
No - not a direct conversion.

The top wished-for conversion but technically impossible: a XEX is PowerPC code for the Xbox 360 OS, while a Windows .exe is x86 code for Windows - different CPU and operating system, plus the XEX is encrypted/signed. No converter exists. To play the game on a PC, run the .xex (or ISO) in the Xenia emulator instead.
