No An emulator for a current console requires deep CPU, GPU, and OS-level expertise and reverse-engineering of proprietary firmware and hardware, and it is not something vibe coding can produce.
What it would actually take: A working version needs an accurate ARM64 CPU core, a GPU and graphics backend, audio, timing, and high-level emulation of the console's OS services, all built from reverse-engineered documentation. This takes years of work from experts in emulation and low-level systems. Legal exposure around keys and firmware is significant.
