Could you build this?

No Native static recompilation of a Nintendo 64 binary requires reverse-engineering MIPS assembly, understanding proprietary microcode, and rewriting hardware abstraction layers into modern C++ and DirectX/Vulkan.

What it would actually take: Requires static recompilation tooling (like N64Recomp) that parses MIPS machine code from ROMs, lifts it to C/C++ control flow graphs, and translates Reality Coprocessor (RSP/RDP) display lists to modern graphic APIs (Vulkan/Direct3D). Developing this demands deep systems programming expertise, reverse-engineering decompiled codebases, cycle-accurate timing emulation, and low-level graphics engineering.
