Could you build this?

No A native PC port via static recompilation of PS3 binaries needs deep reverse engineering of the Cell processor, RSX GPU behavior, and the game's code and data. That expertise and effort cannot be substituted by vibe coding.

What it would actually take: This needs a static recompiler that lifts PS3 PowerPC and SPU code to x86-64 or ARM, emulation of the RSX GPU command stream translated to Vulkan, and reimplementation of the OS services the game calls. Building it requires experts in binary lifting, console architecture, and GPU graphics, plus long debugging cycles against the original hardware behavior.
