Could you build this?
No Porting Ocarina of Time to native Apple Silicon by recompilation requires decomp-level knowledge of N64 code, Apple Silicon performance, and crash debugging. Vibe coding alone cannot produce that.
What it would actually take: The base is a decompilation project of the N64 game, which must be compiled natively for ARM64 macOS with a custom runtime for graphics (RDP/RSP emulation or translation to Metal), audio, and input. Hard parts are fixing memory-model and endianness issues, correct timing, and performance tuning. It requires people experienced in N64 decomp projects and graphics programming, and the user must supply their own legally obtained base ROM or .nup file.
