Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of a closed-source x86 DirectX PC game binary (Silent Hill 3) to execute natively on ARM64 Nintendo Switch requires expert-level reverse engineering and binary translation skills.

What it would actually take: Requires disassembling the original x86 PE binary using IDA Pro/Ghidra, mapping out direct memory layouts, lifting assembly to an intermediate representation, and statically translating x86 instructions and Direct3D 8/9 calls into ARM64 instructions and Nintendo Switch NVN/Vulkan graphics APIs. The developer needs deep expertise in binary translation, compiler construction, x86/ARM assembly, and game engine internals.
