Could you build this?
No Static recompilation of a commercial Nintendo 64 game (Wave Race 64) requires decompiling MIPS binaries into C/C++, reimplementing custom microcode (Fast3D/F3DEX), and re-engineering physical water simulation engines.
What it would actually take: A native port requires clean-room decompilation of MIPS assembly from the ROM, reverse-engineering N64 Reality Coprocessor (RSP/RDP) display lists, replacing them with modern DirectX/Vulkan shaders, and completely decoupling the game's physics loop from 30/60 FPS limits. This demands specialized knowledge of N64 architecture, graphics pipeline emulation, low-level C++, and low-level game engine math.
