Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of Wii GameCube/PowerPC binaries to PS5 native code with custom AGC graphics pipeline rendering requires elite reverse engineering and low-level console graphics expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires deep systems architecture understanding, PowerPC-to-x86_64/ARM binary translation pipelines, reimplementation of GX graphics hardware registers using PS5 low-level AGC (Autonomous Graphics Client) APIs, and custom PS5 SDK homebrew tooling.
