No Porting Dark Souls to PS2 hardware requires deep PS2 low-level programming (VU microcode, EE/GS constraints) and reverse engineering of the game's asset formats, which vibe coding can't substitute for.
What it would actually take: The stack is C plus hand-written VU1 microcode for the vector units, with custom exporters that parse the PC game's proprietary asset formats. Hard parts include fitting the engine into PS2 memory and fill-rate limits, and testing on real or accurately emulated hardware. This takes specialists in console homebrew, graphics, and file-format reverse engineering.
