Could you build this?
No Writing a custom hypervisor for ARM hardware (Tegra X1) demands bare-metal systems programming and deep virtualization architecture expertise.
What it would actually take: Developing an ARM64 Stage-2 EL2 hypervisor on the Nintendo Switch requires bare-metal C and assembly, custom exception handling, memory management unit (MMU) virtualization, and hardware interrupt trapping. Engineers need specialized low-level knowledge of ARMv8 architecture, Tegra hardware errata, and console security/exploit vectors.
