Could you build this?

No Making a PS2-era racing game run natively on Switch, Linux, and Mac requires static or dynamic recompilation of the original binary, which is a specialized, research-level effort.

What it would actually take: This is a recompilation project: the original game's machine code (likely PowerPC or MIPS-based) must be lifted to C or another target, with its graphics, audio, and file-system calls reimplemented on modern platforms. It requires a deep understanding of the original hardware, custom reimplementation of console APIs, and significant debugging. It takes a team of experienced emulator and compiler engineers, not a vibe-coding builder.
