Could you build this?
No A Switch 2 custom firmware depends on discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities in closed console hardware and firmware, which requires specialized security research that vibe coding cannot provide.
What it would actually take: It requires reverse engineering of the Switch 2 bootrom, firmware, and secure boot chain, then developing a reliable exploit or payload injection path. Building it takes hardware-security researchers with console-exploitation experience, debugging tools like JTAG or glitching hardware, and an existing exploit base to build on.
