Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of a commercial game binary into native code requires disassembly, decompilation, and CPU/GPU emulation expertise that vibe coding cannot substitute for.

What it would actually take: The approach lifts the original x86/PowerPC-style game binary into C or C++ with an analysis pipeline, then reimplements console-specific runtime and graphics behavior with a Vulkan renderer. It needs experienced reverse engineers and compiler/graphics engineers, plus the user's own legally obtained game files.
