Could you build this?

No Statically recompiling an Xbox 360 title to native Windows requires deep binary analysis, PowerPC-to-x86 translation, and reverse-engineering proprietary DirectX/XMA hardware APIs.

What it would actually take: This project requires custom binary translation toolchains (similar to Xenon/Xenia reverse-engineering work), mapping Xbox 360 system calls and custom GPU microcode to modern DirectX 12/Vulkan APIs. It demands world-class reverse engineers with assembly disassembly, ABI emulation, and low-level graphics driver expertise.
