Could you build this?
Partial The desktop and console package installer UI can be built with standard web/desktop stacks, but interacting with jailbroken PS4/PS5 homebrew protocols and unofficial package managers requires console exploitation and reverse-engineering knowledge.
What it would actually take: The solution requires an Electron or native C# desktop companion that manages local PKG files and serves them via an HTTP/RPI (Remote Package Installer) server. The console homebrew app must be compiled with unofficial SDKs (like OpenOrbis or PS5 payload environments) using POSIX/custom Sony internal APIs to install unencrypted fake PKGs (FPKGs). Deep domain knowledge of PlayStation kernel exploits, package header structures, and homebrew runtime toolchains is necessary.
