Could you build this?

No Porting an entire 3D game engine (GTA III) natively to Apple Silicon using Apple's Metal graphics API requires deep low-level systems and graphics reverse engineering.

What it would actually take: Building this requires decompiled or re-engineered C++ game engine source code (e.g., re3) and rewriting the DirectX/RenderWare rendering pipeline directly into Apple Metal shaders and pipelines. It requires deep knowledge of Objective-C++/Swift, Metal graphics programming, Apple Silicon ARM64 assembly, and memory management. Standard AI coding assistants struggle with cross-compilation toolchains and proprietary low-level graphics API translations.
