Could you build this?

Partial The launcher UI, library browsing, and one-click Play are straightforward to vibe-code. The hard parts are the curated compatibility data for which game mashups work together and the reliable mod/mashup installation and patching engine.

What it would actually take: A desktop shell (Electron or Tauri) with a catalog backend and a manifest format describing each mashup's required games, mods, and load order. The hard piece is maintaining verified compatibility data and building a robust installer that handles game file variations and updates. That needs a solo developer who knows Windows game modding internals plus an ongoing community or testing effort to keep the data accurate.
