Could you build this?

No A launcher for the PSP console running custom firmware requires low-level console knowledge, a niche homebrew toolchain, and testing on physical hardware. Vibe coding cannot cover those gaps.

What it would actually take: The build would need the PSPSDK toolchain, knowledge of the ARK-4 or ARK-5 custom firmware and its kernel-mode plugin interfaces, and the PSP's memory and filesystem constraints. Real hardware is needed for testing and debugging, since emulators cover only part of the behavior.
