Could you build this?

Partial While the RomM REST client and synchronization logic are standard, developing software that runs on jailbroken PS5 hardware requires homebrew SDKs and console-specific toolchain knowledge.

What it would actually take: Building this requires the unofficial PS5 homebrew SDK (like OpenOrbis/prospero toolchains) and knowledge of FreeBSD-based PS5 internals, alongside a C/C++ or lightweight UI framework compatible with the console's rendering layer. The hard part is managing system execution privileges, memory mapping, filesystem access to emulator save paths on the console, and packaging into compatible homebrew formats (e.g., .pkg). Expertise in low-level systems programming and console reverse engineering is necessary.
