Could you build this?
No Static recompilation of a retro console game requires deep reverse-engineering of Motorola 68000 assembly, Mega-CD hardware architecture, and custom co-processor timing.
What it would actually take: Building a native recompilation requires disassembling the original Mega-CD ROM, lifting 68000 and Sub-CPU assembly into intermediate representations or native C/C++, and accurately reimplementing Sega CD ASIC scaling/rotation hardware and PCM sound drivers using modern graphics and audio APIs (SDL2, OpenGL).
