Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of a modern commercial Nintendo Switch ARM64 binary into native x86/ARM code for Mac and Windows requires extraordinary compiler engineering and low-level reverse engineering expertise.

What it would actually take: This requires static binary translation from AArch64 machine code to native C++ or LLVM IR, reverse engineering Nintendo Switch OS system calls (Horizon OS kernel and services), and reimplementing the NVN graphics pipeline on Metal/DirectX/Vulkan. It requires world-class reverse engineering, compiler design, and console emulation expertise over months or years.
