Maybe, but this is not the place to find the answer. You need to use Google to see if it has been done by anyone else.

1 solution

There are a lot of problems there, starting with copyright and license T&C infringements, and leading up to "it's not just the processors that are totally different".

Then there is the fun that games of that vintage for those processors are likely to have been written in assembler, and I've never seen a good "assembler to assembler" port - assembler is written to be efficient on a specific processor, and a "blind translation" will not produce efficient code on the target. Plus it'll be a load of hard work needing damn good knowledge of the source and target processor ...

And easier way would probably be to write (or find) an emulator that will let you run the games "natively" on a more modern target.
