Could you build this?

No Static binary recompilation of a PowerPC/Xbox 360 title to native x86_64 PC code requires deep compiler, emulator, and reverse-engineering expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires an advanced static binary translation pipeline (such as Recompiler/Xenia tooling) to translate PPC machine code to C++/LLVM IR, reimplementing Xbox 360 kernel/DirectX 9 API hooks, GPU shader recompilation, and custom game patching. This requires specialized domain experience in compiler design, systems emulation, and graphics architecture.
