Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of PS2 binaries into a native PC port requires deep expertise in MIPS and VU microcode, emulation, and graphics APIs. It is a specialist engineering project well beyond vibe coding.

What it would actually take: The team would need to build or adapt a static recompiler that lifts MIPS R5900 and VU0/VU1 code into C or C++, emulate PS2 hardware behavior such as the GS and SPU, and write a renderer that handles high frame rates and widescreen. This takes multiple experienced low-level engineers and months of work, plus the game disc to extract assets and test against.
