Could you build this?
No The product depends on a Nintendo Switch 2 exploit and custom homebrew execution, which requires hardware-level security research that vibe coding cannot provide.
What it would actually take: Building a real version requires reverse engineering the Switch 2 firmware and finding and maintaining an exploit chain to run unsigned code, then building GPU shader-execution tooling on top. This takes deep security research, ARM and GPU driver expertise, and physical hardware for testing.
