Could you build this?

No Recompiling an Xbox 360 XBLA game to PC requires PowerPC/Xenon static recompilation and reverse-engineering of the game binary, which is specialist work.

What it would actually take: The project needs a PowerPC-to-x86_64 static recompiler, reimplementation of Xbox 360 OS and graphics APIs (D3D9-style, XAM, XNet), and a shader translation layer. It takes experienced reverse engineers and compiler engineers, plus extensive analysis of the original binary.
