Could you build this?

No This is a static recompilation project for WWE '13 (Xbox 360/PS3/Wii), requiring binary disassembly, recompiling PowerPC/Cell instructions to native x86/ARM, and reimplementing proprietary OS APIs.

What it would actually take: The project requires automated static recompilation tooling (similar to N64Recomp or Xenia-based decompilations) that parses PowerPC executables and translates instructions into native C/C++ or LLVM IR. The hard parts include reverse engineering the proprietary game engine, handling endianness swaps, mapping GPU command buffers to modern DirectX 12/Vulkan, and reimplementing sound/system hardware emulation. Demands veteran emulator developers and low-level reverse engineers.
