Could you build this?

No A real port of an original Xbox game requires reverse engineering the console binaries and emulating or translating the NV2A GPU and Xbox-specific hardware behavior, which is specialized low-level work that vibe coding cannot substitute for.

What it would actually take: A real version would need a disassembly and decompilation pipeline (Ghidra or IDA) to recover the game's logic, plus a recompilation or emulation layer for the Xbox kernel, audio, and input APIs. The renderer would be rebuilt on a modern graphics API such as Vulkan or D3D12, which requires graphics engineers who understand the fixed-function and shader pipeline of the original hardware. Legal and licensing questions around the copyrighted game assets also apply.
