Could you build this?
No Porting a closed/reverse-engineered x86 MS-DOS/Windows 95 game to the MIPS-based Sony PSP hardware with severe memory constraints (32MB/64MB RAM) requires reverse engineering, MIPS assembly, and low-level embedded systems optimization.
What it would actually take: Requires working with reverse-engineered engine sources (like Fallout Community Edition), cross-compiling via the PSP toolchain (PSPSDK), rewriting audio/renderer backends to PSP Gu/Ged libraries, and drastically optimizing memory allocations to fit Fallout's uncompressed assets into 32MB of RAM.

Concerns raised: Performance sluggish on real hardware, No PSP hardware availability for testing

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
