Could you build this?

No Porting a commercial console game to the PS Vita requires low-level decompilation, architecture translation, and custom graphics pipeline re-engineering.

What it would actually take: A native Vita port requires decompiling/reverse-engineering original MIPS/x86 game executables, rewriting platform-specific platform layer code in C/C++ against VitaSDK, and translating renderers to the Vita's GXM graphics API. The hard part is managing constrained ARM architecture resources, memory limits, and hardware-specific shader translations. This requires veteran homebrew console development and game engine disassembly expertise.
