Could you build this?
No It depends on running Windows-on-Wine inside a jailbroken PS5 with GPU translation layers and DualSense haptics, which requires low-level console, kernel, and graphics-stack expertise.
What it would actually take: A real version requires a working jailbroken PS5 environment, a custom Wine/Proton runtime, and the translation layers (DXVK, VKD3D-Proton) tuned for that hardware. It also needs drivers or USB/HID access for controller features such as adaptive triggers and light bar. Building this takes specialized console homebrew, Linux/Wine internals, and graphics debugging experience.
