Could you build this?
No The project statically recompiles a copyrighted Windows x86 game into ARM64 macOS and reimplements Win32 and Direct3D 11 on Metal, which requires deep binary-translation and graphics expertise and raises serious copyright issues.
What it would actually take: It requires a lifter (Remill to LLVM IR), a hand-written Win32 and D3D11 runtime, and a Metal-backed renderer. Building it demands compiler, reverse-engineering, and GPU graphics specialists, plus a legal basis for the game assets.
