Could you build this?

Partial The web patcher utility is a trivial static site, but reverse-engineering a commercial PSP binary to inject an entire career mode with custom championships and menus requires binary disassembly and MIPS assembly patching.

What it would actually take: Creating the career mod requires disassembling Gran Turismo PSP's MIPS ELF binary using Ghidra or IDA Pro, locating internal game state tables, and writing custom C/MIPS injection routines to hijack menu flow, save data structures, and race configurations. The output is bundled as binary diffs (xdelta) distributed alongside a client-side web hash verifier and patcher.
