No A native Windows port of Armored Core 4 from PS3 game files requires reverse engineering and recompiling PS3 code, which is specialist work vibe coding can't substitute for.
What it would actually take: Start by extracting the game's executable and assets from a legally owned disc image, then use static analysis (Ghidra/IDA) and decompilation to map the PPC code. A native build would likely use a static or dynamic recompiler that emits x64 code and reimplements PS3 OS calls, the RSX GPU (translated to Vulkan or D3D), and audio. This needs experts in console architecture, compiler backends, and graphics, plus sustained reverse engineering effort.
