Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of a commercial PC game to ARM64 with a custom graphics renderer requires deep reverse engineering, compiler and binary-translation expertise, and graphics programming that vibe coding can't provide.

What it would actually take: This would start by lifting the original x86 binaries into an intermediate representation and recompiling them for ARM64 Android, with manual fixes for the game's own code. It needs a renderer port (FFNx-style, mapping the original graphics calls to Vulkan or GLES) and Android integration for input, audio, and storage. The work requires experts in binary translation, reverse engineering, and graphics, plus legal ownership of the original game files for testing.
