Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of a commercial game to run natively on arm64 with a custom Vulkan renderer requires deep reverse engineering, compiler and graphics expertise, and reliance on proprietary game internals.

What it would actually take: This needs a static recompiler that lifts the original x86 binary into C or LLVM IR, a runtime that reimplements the game's OS and library calls, and a Vulkan renderer that replaces the original graphics API. Work is extensive and largely manual, requiring reverse engineering of the binary and its data formats. The project depends on the user supplying the original game, and success depends on expert-level systems and graphics engineering.
