Could you build this?
No Reverse-engineering a legacy 1990s closed-source 3D game binary to modern C# and SDL3 with VR and stereo 3D requires advanced reverse engineering, assembly disassembly, and graphics pipeline porting.
What it would actually take: Requires static and dynamic reverse engineering of x86 DOS/Windows binaries using Ghidra or IDA Pro, decompiling custom 3D software rasterizers and physics, re-implementing audio/input in SDL3, and refactoring rendering pipelines to support modern stereoscopic/VR projection matrices in C#.
