Could you build this?
No A static recompilation port requires reverse engineering N64 MIPS binaries, reconstructing game logic, and writing a native renderer, which is specialized systems and reverse-engineering work.
What it would actually take: It would take a MIPS-to-native static recompiler (building on tools like N64Recomp) that lifts the ROM's machine code into C, plus a compatible graphics backend (such as RT64-style rendering) and input/audio layers. The hard parts are accurate control-flow recovery, handling indirect jumps and timing-dependent code, and debugging divergences against the original hardware. This needs experienced reverse engineers, emulator and compiler expertise, and legally sourced game data.
