Could you build this?
No Reverse-engineering and static decompilation of a commercial PS2 game executable into native Windows C/C++ requires world-class binary disassembly and console hardware architecture expertise.
What it would actually take: The project requires Ghidra/IDA Pro binary decompilation of MIPS R5900 Emotion Engine code, reimplementing the PS2 Graphic Synthesizer (GS) and Vector Units (VU0/VU1) in DirectX or Vulkan, and mapping PS2 memory structures and sound hardware (SPU2) to modern Windows APIs. This demands deep specialized reverse engineering, low-level emulator/compiler engineering, and thousands of hours of manual binary matching.
