Could you build this?
No A hybrid PC port of SNES EarthBound requires an understanding of the 65816 CPU, the game's internal logic, and accurate reimplementation of its engine. Community pieces exist, but integrating them demands specialist expertise beyond vibe coding.
What it would actually take: A real version needs disassembly of the SNES ROM, a 65816 emulation or transpilation layer, and reimplementation of game data formats, text, and graphics pipelines. The work requires retro-console reverse-engineering skills and careful accuracy testing.
