Could you build this?

No Porting a Wii U recompiled title to the PS5 homebrew ecosystem involves unofficial PS5 SDKs, hypervisor/jailbreak target constraints, and custom graphics translation layers.

What it would actually take: Requires targeting jailbroken PS5 firmware using unofficial SDKs (like Prospero/PS5-Payload-SDK) with custom toolchains (Clang/LLVM). The developer must map the ZeldaWWHD recompiled C++ codebase and its graphics backend (Vulkan/DirectX) to the PS5's proprietary GNM/GNMX or Vulkan translation layers and handle console-specific input/audio drivers.
