Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of a PS3 game requires deep knowledge of the Cell processor, RSX GPU, and PS3 OS internals, plus reverse engineering of the game binary.

What it would actually take: Building this means writing or extending a PS3 static recompiler that lifts PPU and SPU code to native x86/x64, reimplementing the PS3 kernel and libraries (HLE), and translating RSX graphics commands to a modern API like Vulkan or D3D12. It needs reverse engineers and emulator developers with years of PS3 experience, plus the user's own game dump to test against.
