Could you build this?
No Static recompilation of a complex commercial PlayStation 2 game to native x86_64 PC code requires deep reverse engineering of PS2 hardware (MIPS R5900 Emotion Engine, Vector Units VU0/VU1, and Graphics Synthesizer).
What it would actually take: The architecture relies on the PS2Recomp static recompilation framework to lift compiled MIPS/VU machine code into intermediate C++ representations, combined with custom high-level emulation wrappers for PS2-specific OS calls and DMA transfers. The hard parts include handling dynamic code execution, cycle-accurate Vector Unit synchronization, and translating PS2 GS rendering behaviors into modern DirectX 12/Vulkan pipelines. This requires rare expertise in console reverse engineering, assembly, and low-level graphics emulation.
