Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of a console game into a native program requires deep expertise in binary analysis, CPU instruction translation, and console hardware emulation, far beyond what vibe coding produces.

What it would actually take: A real version would need a binary lifter and recompiler for the source architecture (ARM or similar), handling of the game's OS and GPU API calls, and a runtime that reproduces hardware behavior. This takes compiler and emulator engineers with months of work per title and a deep understanding of the target platform.
