Could you build this?

No A static recompiler for Nintendo Switch games requires deep reverse engineering of proprietary ARM binaries and console-specific hardware behavior, which is specialist research work.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a binary lifter that translates ARM64 code into host-compiled code, plus reimplementations of Nintendo's OS services, GPU command processing, and timing. This takes experts in compilers, console reverse engineering, and graphics APIs, and it depends on legally obtained dumps and extensive testing per game.
