Could you build this?
No Porting PCSX2 to run on a jailbroken PS4 involves deeply specialized low-level systems programming, FreeBSD kernel syscalls, and custom graphics translation for the Orbis OS.
What it would actually take: Requires porting the PCSX2 codebase (JIT recompilers for MIPS EE/IOP and GS vector units) to run within the PS4's jailbroken FreeBSD environment, bridging or reimplementing Vulkan/OpenGL graphics calls over the PS4's proprietary GNM/GNMX or libpiglet layer, and optimizing x86-64 execution for AMD Jaguar CPU cores.
