Could you build this?

No Porting an original PC/PS1 game from decompiled assembly using SDL3 requires low-level C systems programming, asset extraction, and custom graphics pipeline translation.

What it would actually take: Built using C/C++, SDL3, and reverse-engineered source trees from CMR2Decomp. Requires understanding legacy DirectX/Glide pipelines and translating fixed-function rendering to modern shader pipelines, as well as debugging decompiled game logic, physics engines, and custom archive formats.
