Could you build this?

No Recompiling an Xbox 360 game to run natively requires PowerPC and Xenon reverse engineering, a CPU recompiler, and GPU shader translation, which is specialist systems and emulation work.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a static or dynamic PowerPC-to-x86 recompiler, reimplementation of Xbox 360 OS and kernel APIs, and translation of Xenos GPU command streams to modern graphics APIs. This is deep reverse engineering and emulator development that takes teams of experienced engineers.
