Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of an N64 game requires MIPS disassembly, decompilation of game code, and a runtime that reimplements N64 hardware. Those are highly specialized reverse-engineering and graphics tasks.

What it would actually take: A real version requires a MIPS-to-C static recompiler, manual correction of function boundaries and data, and a runtime that reimplements the N64 RDP and RSP graphics and audio pipelines in modern APIs. Only experienced reverse engineers working with the game's assets and symbols can make it run correctly. It is research-heavy work, not a vibe-coding project.
