Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of Windows x86 games to WebAssembly and a Direct3D 8 to WebGPU translation layer are research-grade projects. They require deep compiler, binary analysis, and graphics expertise.

What it would actually take: A real version needs binary lifting or static recompilation of x86 code with correct handling of the game's calling conventions and memory, a D3D8 shim that translates to WebGPU, and an online netcode layer. This takes compiler engineers, graphics programmers, and multi-month reverse engineering per game.
