Could you build this?

No Porting a decompiled Nintendo Wii game (Petari) to run natively in VR on Meta Quest 3 requires advanced 3D graphics engine porting, Vulkan/OpenXR development, motion control mapping, and platform-specific Android NDK optimization.

What it would actually take: Requires deep C/C++ graphics engine knowledge, OpenXR SDK integration on Android/Meta Quest, and adapting GameCube/Wii GX graphics pipeline emulation/translation to modern Vulkan/GLES shaders. Specialized VR mechanics (stereoscopic camera matrices, 6DoF head tracking, controller pointing emulation for Wii pointer mechanics) and performance optimization for mobile XR SoCs are mandatory.
