Could you build this?
No Building a high-level emulator for legacy hardware and OS architectures requires deep systems programming expertise, CPU instruction emulation, and reverse engineering undocumented APIs.
What it would actually take: A production HLE emulator is typically written in C++ or Rust using LLVM/JIT compilation or dynamic binary translation to emulate ARM/x86 architectures, alongside graphics re-implementation (DirectX/OpenGL/GLES hooks) and audio/input pipelines. The hardest part is reverse engineering closed-source Windows CE/Pocket PC syscalls and hardware quirks to achieve binary compatibility. This requires deep low-level systems knowledge, hardware emulation experience, and disassembly tooling (Ghidra/IDA Pro).
