Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of a closed-source Xbox 360 title (PowerPC architecture, Xenon CPU, Xenos GPU APIs) to native PC code requires elite reverse engineering and emulator compiler design expertise.

What it would actually take: This requires tools like IDA Pro/Ghidra to disassemble Xbox 360 XEX binaries, custom PPC-to-x86_64/LLVM translation layers, and re-implementing Xbox 360 kernel/Direct3D 9Ex system calls and shader translation. It demands deep reverse engineering expertise, assembly-level debugging, and computer architecture knowledge that cannot be substituted by LLM prompting.
