Could you build this?
No Static recompilation of legacy game binaries (such as Earthworm Jim 2) requires extensive reverse engineering, assembly disassembly, ABI reconstruction, and custom recompilation toolchains.
What it would actually take: A project like this involves disassembling native binaries (e.g., DOS/x86 or console CPU architectures), lifting machine instructions into an intermediate representation or C/C++ source, manually resolving jump tables and self-modifying code, and reimplementing sound/graphics backend interfaces with modern APIs like SDL2.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
