Could you build this?
Partial Creating a web store and Three.js mini-games is vibe-codeable, but packaging and running a hardware-accelerated web runtime on custom embedded Linux retro handhelds requires specialized systems knowledge.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires an embedded Linux port for ROCKNIX leveraging Arm Mali Panfrost GPU drivers, SDL/KMS video output, and a minimal WebView/Chromium kiosk environment, alongside an Android wrapper that maps physical hardware buttons to standard Gamepad APIs. The hard part is low-level driver configuration, memory optimization, and ensuring 60fps WebGL execution on low-power Arm chips.
