Could you build this?

No Achieving a byte-identical decompilation of a complex commercial GameCube game requires hundreds of hours of manual PowerPC assembly reverse engineering and exact compiler toolchain matching that AI cannot perform autonomously.

What it would actually take: Requires Ghidra/IDA Pro, deep understanding of GameCube Gekko PowerPC architecture, Dolphin debugging, and the exact CodeWarrior compiler versions used by Capcom. Teams systematically decompile binary routines into C/C++ and iteratively tweak code structures and flags until the recompiled object files match original hashes byte-for-byte.
