Could you build this?

No Recompiling a console game to native ARM code requires reverse engineering the original binary, porting the game logic, and building a graphics backend, which vibe coding cannot supply.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a static and dynamic reverse-engineering pipeline to lift the original code, a runtime that reproduces console OS and hardware behavior, and a graphics translation layer for Android. This takes expert reverse engineers, emulator/recompiler developers, and extensive testing against the original game.
