No Statically recompiling an Xbox game into native Linux and Windows builds with a custom Vulkan renderer is a deep compiler and reverse-engineering project.
What it would actually take: It requires lifting PowerPC/x86 Xbox code into C or native code, emulating or reimplementing Xbox kernel and hardware APIs, handling timing and memory-model differences, and writing a Vulkan renderer that matches original output. Success needs compiler, reverse-engineering, and graphics specialists working for months or years.
