Could you build this?

No Statically recompiling an Xbox 360 title to run natively on PC requires expert-level reverse engineering, assembly decompilation, and hardware emulation skills.

What it would actually take: Requires static binary recompilation toolchains (like ReXGlue or Xenia recompilers), PowerPC to x86-64 machine code translation, custom DirectX/Vulkan graphics translation layers, and low-level reimplementation of proprietary Xbox 360 kernel APIs.
