Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of a commercial Dreamcast/GameCube/PC title like Sonic Adventure 2 requires deep binary reverse engineering, CPU/GPU emulation architecture, and low-level disassembly analysis.

What it would actually take: Requires binary analysis frameworks (Ghidra, IDA Pro), deep knowledge of SH-4 / PowerPC architectures and Dreamcast/GameCube hardware graphics pipelines, manually mapping and lifting decompiled assembly to high-level C/C++, and reimplementing sound/render drivers via SDL/Vulkan.
