Could you build this?

No Porting PCSX2 involves low-level emulation, dynamic recompilers (JIT), and deep familiarity with console hardware architectures and assembly.

What it would actually take: This requires adapting the PCSX2 codebase's CPU/VU JIT recompilers to target the destination processor architecture, rewriting graphics backends for the target graphics pipeline, and compiling against custom toolchains. The primary challenge is maintaining cycle-accurate PlayStation 2 hardware emulation at full speed. Only elite systems and low-level emulator programmers can execute this.
