Could you build this?
No Porting a legacy 1990s 3D game engine to bare-metal Nintendo 64 hardware requires deep reverse engineering, MIPS assembly, memory management under 4MB RAM, and microcode programming.
What it would actually take: Requires deep understanding of the Jedi Engine source/decompilation and the modern N64 homebrew toolchain (libdragon or modern SDK). Developers must rewrite rendering passes into custom RSP microcode (or Fast3D display lists) to handle the Reality Coprocessor's RDP/RSP pipeline and fit textures within the 4KB TMEM cache. Significant C/assembly optimization and audio driver rewrites are mandatory to achieve playable frame rates on 62.5MHz MIPS hardware.
