Could you build this?

No Recompiling or porting an N64 game (Quest 64) requires extensive static decompilation, binary analysis, and custom N64 hardware emulation or translation layers.

What it would actually take: A game recompilation project typically relies on N64 decompilation tools (like mips-to-c, splat, or the N64Recomp toolchain) to convert MIPS assembly into re-targetable C/C++ code. It requires writing runtime shims for N64 audio (AI), graphics (RDP/RSP via OpenGL/Vulkan), and controller/memory subsystems. The developer needs deep expertise in low-level systems programming, MIPS architecture, and vintage console hardware.
