Could you build this?

No The product is a from-scratch C++ engine that reimplements OMORI for many consoles, plus packaging for each platform's homebrew or firmware toolchain. The engine port and console-specific low-level work need specialized game-engine and console-homebrew expertise that vibe coding alone won't supply.

What it would actually take: A real version requires a clean-room or reverse-engineered runtime for the game's engine and assets, written in C++ and cross-compiled for PSP, Vita, 3DS, Wii, Wii U, PS3, PS2, and Xbox 360. Each target needs its own graphics, audio, and input backends plus packaging for its formats (EBOOT, VPK, 3dsx, PKG). Building it takes experienced game-engine developers and people who know each console's SDK and homebrew scene, and the browser-side packager is the easy part.
