No A static recompiler for Nintendo Switch executables requires decoding ARM64 binaries, reconstructing control flow, and reimplementing the Switch OS and GPU APIs. That is specialist reverse-engineering and compiler work.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a disassembler and lifter (for example via Ghidra or a custom decoder) that turns ARM64 into Rust or C with correct handling of indirect calls and memory layout. It also needs a Horizon OS runtime shim and a graphics backend for the Switch GPU API. This is a multi-year effort for experts in binary analysis, compilers, and console internals.
