Could an unofficial PC port of Saints Row 1 be done now?

For those who don't know, Sonic Unleashed has just gotten an unofficial PC port/remaster because the Xbox 360 version got decompiled, this is a huge breakthrough as it could potentially lead to other Xbox 360 games getting the same treatment.

Sonic Unleashed's Unofficial PC Port Is Better Than Most Remasters

Fans are changing the ways we could play Xbox 360 titles on PC.

I know that the game is already fully playable on Xenia, but this could still lead to some awesome stuff, like an actual working audio player, possibly even with custom music directly from the users PC, better graphics and resolution, more mods like for example a voiced playa or the ability to create a female playa, among other things, maybe even the 360 version of Saints Row 2 could be decompiled and we could have all the benefits of the console version like less glitches, better stability and DLC, alongside all the mods of the PC version like GOTR, creating the definitive version of Saints Row 2.

Xenia does already support the ingame audio player, but I heard it's glitchy, either ways a recomp of any of those game wouldn't necessarily mean any of those mods you want would come to fruition the games code would still be obfuscated it might make debugging easier but the games code would still be obfuscated.
The reason you see so many Unleashed mods is not because of the recomp they already had an idea of the game's engine before the recomp.

Also I do not think even a recomp Saints Row 2 is worth it when the PC port already exists, would rather fix what little bugs that it currently has that than go through a recomp fixing the bugs that the recomp would inevitably cause, set-up a video renderer for the game, fix vint which is the UI above 720p(posted picture is early PC port shown in one of volition streams, they were most likely playing at 1080p) which the PC port already does and I have no idea how, reimplement controls and possibly more it's simply too much work for no to little gain.
