Could you build this?

No This is a static recompilation port of a 3DS game to native PC. Converting ARM machine code, handling 3DS GPU behavior, and reproducing the game faithfully requires deep compiler, emulation, and graphics expertise.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a static recompiler that lifts 3DS ARM code to C or C++, reconstructs the original game logic, and reimplements the PICA200 GPU pipeline with shader translation. Those pieces are a sustained research-level engineering effort. Recompilation projects of this kind usually take a team of experienced reverse engineers many months to years.
