Could you build this?

No A PlayStation emulator needs accurate CPU and GPU emulation, BIOS handling, and deep console-specific knowledge, and it depends on a proprietary platform and filesystem access that vibe coding cannot supply.

What it would actually take: A real version requires emulating the PlayStation's MIPS CPU, GPU, SPU, and timing, plus a working BIOS and a host interface such as the IZ2S platform. Building it takes emulation specialists with reverse-engineering skills, extensive hardware testing, and legally obtained console dumps.
