No A working port requires reverse engineering and recompiling PS3 (Cell/PowerPC) game code and its engine to run natively on Windows, which is specialist emulation/decompilation work that vibe coding can't supply.
What it would actually take: Start by extracting the game's executable and assets from the user's legally owned disc image, then use static analysis (Ghidra/IDA) and decompilation to map the PPC code and SPU jobs. A native build would likely use a static or dynamic recompiler (similar to XenoRecomp or RPCS3-style work) that emits x64 code and reimplements PS3 OS calls, GPU (RSX-to-Vulkan/D3D shader translation), and audio. This needs experts in console architecture, compiler backends, and graphics, plus long-term reverse engineering effort.
