Could you build this?

No Static recompilation and binary decompilation of a commercial Xbox 360 title (PowerPC to x86_64) requires elite reverse engineering and low-level emulation expertise.

What it would actually take: This project relies on static recompilation techniques (similar to projects like Xenia or Zelda 64 Recomp), translating PowerPC big-endian machine code into C/C++ or LLVM IR and mapping Xbox 360 kernel/graphics (Direct3D 9 / Xenos) APIs to modern Vulkan/DirectX 12. The hard parts involve resolving indirect jumps, dealing with endianness mismatches, and reimplementing proprietary game engine subsystems without source code. It requires world-class systems programmers and reverse engineers.
