Could you build this?

No A native PC port of a GameCube game requires reverse engineering the proprietary engine and assets. That is decompilation-level work that vibe coding cannot shortcut and that has legal exposure.

What it would actually take: Building this means decompiling or disassembling the GameCube binary to recover game logic, file formats, and the PowerPC code, then reimplementing it in a portable engine. It takes reverse-engineering specialists working over long periods, similar to community decompilation projects, plus careful legal handling of the copyrighted assets.
