No A matching decompilation of a PS2 game requires reverse-engineering the EE MIPS assembly, matching the original compiler's output byte-for-byte, and deep knowledge of the PS2 toolchain. Vibe coding can assist with individual functions but cannot substitute for that expertise.
What it would actually take: The project needs disassembly of the NTSC-U binary, an instruction-exact matching build with a period-accurate compiler (the EE GCC toolchain), and iterative diffing against the original ELF/ISO. A PC port then requires a native reimplementation of the engine's rendering, physics, and I/O. This takes experienced reverse engineers with console architecture and compiler-matching skills, plus legal access to the original binary.
