Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of an Xbox game into a native Windows executable requires deep reverse engineering of PowerPC code, the Xbox kernel, and GPU command streams, which is far beyond vibe coding.

What it would actually take: The project needs a PowerPC-to-x64 static recompiler, emulation of Xbox kernel and hardware APIs, and a translator from the Xbox GPU's shaders and command stream to Direct3D 11. This is specialist low-level work by reverse engineers and compiler engineers, and it depends on a legally owned game copy.
