Could you build this?
No Porting a commercial PS4 game executable natively to Linux using low-level binary translation (bbport) and custom GPU shader translation (shadPS4 video core) requires elite reverse engineering and graphics systems programming.
What it would actually take: The project requires static/dynamic binary translation of PS4 Orbis OS ELF binaries, intercepting GNM/GNMX graphics calls and translating them via Vulkan in shadPS4, and reimplementing proprietary audio/input system calls on Linux. The hard parts are shader bytecode decompilation, memory management, and debugging compiled binary discrepancies without source code. This demands deep expertise in console architecture, x86-64 ABI, reverse engineering, and Vulkan.
