Could you build this?
No An unofficial PC port of a PS3 game built by static recompilation of the console binary. This requires deep reverse engineering of PowerPC and Cell SPU code and graphics translation that vibe coding cannot substitute for.
What it would actually take: Start by extracting the game binary and building a recompiler that lifts PowerPC and SPU code to C or C++. Then reimplement the RSX graphics pipeline, shader translation, and the console OS and library calls. This needs experts in compilers, console architecture, and graphics, plus legal care around the owned game assets.
