No Re-implementing hardware-accelerated PhysX cloth and fluid dynamics in software as a multithreaded CPU drop-in replacement for a commercial 3D game requires expert game engine, physics math, and low-level SIMD optimization knowledge.
What it would actually take: Developing this requires reverse-engineering the binary interfaces of legacy PhysX DLLs (hooking into Mirror's Edge), writing custom numerical solvers for position-based dynamics (PBD/XPBD) or SPH fluid simulation in C/C++, and optimizing the math pipelines with AVX2/AVX-512 SIMD and cache-aware multithreading to maintain real-time 60+ FPS framerates on CPU.
