Could you build this?

No Defeating the PlayStation 5 hypervisor via GPU DMA requires world-class console security research, kernel exploit development, and hardware-specific vulnerability exploitation. This is entirely beyond the scope of vibe coding.

What it would actually take: Requires custom low-level exploit payloads written in C/assembly targeting AMD GPU firmware, command processor command buffers, and IOMMU configurations. The hard part is finding zero-day hardware/firmware race conditions, bypassing hypervisor page table protections, and console reverse engineering requiring specialized hardware testbeds.
