No A native PC port of an Xbox game by static recompilation requires the same deep reverse engineering and console API reimplementation expertise that vibe coding cannot replace.
What it would actually take: The build is a static recompiler for the original Xbox executable, with reimplemented Xbox kernel and Direct3D calls mapped to Direct3D 12 and XAudio2. It needs reverse-engineering and graphics specialists, plus legally owned game files to test against.
