No Turning console ROMs into native executables is static recompilation or emulation, which requires deep reverse engineering of console CPUs, GPUs, and OS behavior that vibe coding cannot substitute for.
What it would actually take: A real version needs disassembly and lifting of the target console's CPU instruction set to C or another host language, plus reimplementation of console hardware and system calls such as graphics, audio, and input. Expertise in compilers, binary analysis, and emulator development is required, and many titles need per-game fixes. Users also need to supply their own ROMs.
