No Recompiling PS Vita games into native PC programs requires deep reverse engineering of the console's ARM architecture, custom OS, and GPU, which vibe coding cannot substitute for.
What it would actually take: The approach is static or dynamic binary recompilation, lifting ARM and Vita-specific code and reimplementing the Vita kernel, libc, and graphics APIs (GXM/SceGxm) on top of Vulkan or OpenGL. This requires low-level systems and compiler expertise, extensive instrumentation, and per-title debugging. The project also depends on legally obtained firmware and games.
