Could you build this?
No An Xbox 360 emulator requires deep expertise in CPU dynamic recompilation, PowerPC and Xenon internals, and translating the Xenos GPU to Metal, which vibe coding cannot substitute for.
What it would actually take: Building this means reverse-engineering the Xbox 360 hardware and kernel, writing a PowerPC-to-ARM64 JIT, and translating Xenos shaders and GPU command streams to Metal. Serious emulator work also needs a deep understanding of Xenia's existing architecture and a long compatibility-testing loop against game titles. The team needs experienced emulator and graphics engineers working over months to years.
