Could you build this?
No This is a Nintendo Switch emulator that runs natively through an NVN graphics layer. Building it requires low-level reverse engineering of console hardware, GPU emulation, and recompilation techniques that vibe coding can't substitute for.
What it would actually take: A real version would use a static recompilation runtime (the Recomp approach) that maps guest CPU code to native code, plus an NVN-to-Vulkan or OpenGL translation layer for the GPU. The work needs deep expertise in ARM64 and console architecture, graphics API internals, and years of reverse engineering and debugging. It is a multi-year effort by specialist teams.
