Could you build this?

No Porting a closed-source AAA game like GTA V to native Mach-O for Apple silicon requires extensive reverse engineering, custom DirectX-to-Metal translation, and low-level systems programming that AI coding tools cannot automate.

What it would actually take: Reverse-engineering Grand Theft Auto V's x86_64 binary or decompiled engine code, translating DirectX 11 draw calls and shaders to Metal, adapting x86 SIMD/assembly to ARM64, and rebuilding proprietary network protocols. Requires deep expertise in binary analysis, game engine architecture, graphics APIs (Metal/DirectX), and macOS/iOS internals.
