Could you build this?
Partial The launcher features (library, profiles, controller UI, updater) are vibe-codeable, but the product is built around an existing emulator (KytyPS5) whose behavior the launcher must configure and integrate with. Trophy tracking and save handling depend on emulator internals.
What it would actually take: The launcher is a Windows app with a controller-first UI, a profile store, an auto-updater, and a Discord presence integration. The hard part is the emulator integration: applying settings, reading save and trophy data, and managing emulator versions, which needs knowledge of the emulator's internals. The emulator itself is the real technical barrier.
