Could you build this?
No Developing high-performance, cross-platform emulators targeting Apple Vision Pro, iOS, macOS, and Windows requires deep expertise in hardware virtualization, JIT compilation, low-level CPU architectures, and Metal/DirectX graphics pipelines.
What it would actually take: Requires porting or embedding core emulation engines (such as Libretro/RetroArch cores or custom interpreters/JITs) in C/C++/Rust. The frontend requires native Swift/RealityKit for visionOS spatial rendering alongside Metal-accelerated texture mapping and low-latency input handling across Apple and Windows platforms.
