Could you build this?

No Static recompilation and decompilation-based game porting requires deep assembly reverse-engineering, hardware emulation/translation layer architecture, and low-level graphics/audio reimplementation.

What it would actually take: Requires C/C++, reverse-engineering tools (Ghidra, IDA), and matching decompilation techniques for MIPS/PS1 architecture. The port requires reimplementing PS1 hardware calls (GTE, SPU, GPU) into modern cross-platform APIs like SDL2/3 and OpenGL/Vulkan, plus file format parsers for disc images and proprietary game assets.
