X86 apps on ARM using Pseudocode?

I was wondering if It was possible to generate pseudo-code from an X86 binary and then recompile(cross) for ARM (would this work?). I get that this (in theory) would only work for Linux binaries, But could Wine be run on arm Linux so that it can use windows libraries etc. Thanks

    It is possible, as in it can be done, but not as in anybody is doing it now. Apple did it when they switched from 68k processors to the powerPC processors.

    If you aren't interest in trying to translate ABI's by writting your own program to do so, then the next closest thing is running a virtual machine via QUEMU, which by doing a whole OS makes it a lot simpler to do.

    Some games have open source engines availible, and thus able to be used on ARM.
