Could you build this?

No Building fake PKG (FPKG) packages for PlayStation platforms involves reverse-engineered proprietary Sony file structures, cryptographic signing bypasses, and console jailbreak toolchains.

What it would actually take: The tool must interact with PlayStation (PS4/PS5) package formats (.pkg), handling decrypted executable binaries, PFS (PlayStation File System) structures, and custom passcode hashing/NPDRM decryption. The hard part is reverse-engineering proprietary Sony SDK formats and integrating with unofficial jailbreak toolchains (like liborbis/libprospero and Mira/GoldHEN tools). This requires specialized binary reverse engineering, firmware exploitation expertise, and knowledge of undocumented game console architectures.
