Could you build this?

No Modifying camera image processing pipelines and patching signed binary official firmware (Ricoh GR IV) to inject 3D LUT tables requires firmware reverse engineering and low-level embedded image processing knowledge.

What it would actually take: Building this requires reverse engineering the Ricoh firmware update container to unpack and repack images without triggering bricking protections, parsing the Image Control color transform matrices in disassembly, and fitting 3D .cube LUT data into proprietary color space parameters. This requires embedded systems firmware hacking, digital camera DSP pipeline expertise, and assembly-level reverse engineering.
