What is necessary to make this work is in-depth knowledge of the system's architecture at a very low level, from memory control and memory layout, probably hacking in some form of serial console, figuring out how to make the graphics go, and working with lots of very very basic hardware devices, handling hardware quirks as well as needing access to some brute-force method of reprogramming it(probably JTAG). Specialty tools and soldering irons are likely to be involved.
Is it possible? Yep. But it's more of a career than a weekend project.
