No A PS3 homebrew N64 emulator needs a PowerPC recompiler for the Cell PPE, SPE-based RSP and audio high-level emulation, and RSX rendering. This is low-level emulation work well beyond vibe coding.
What it would actually take: The project needs a PPE dynamic recompiler and an RSP microcode HLE running on SPEs, with audio mixing and timing synchronized across units. It also needs a RSX-targeting renderer for N64 RDP output and accurate timing. Expertise in Cell architecture, console emulation, and N64 hardware internals is required.
