Could you build this?

No The packager's core is parsing and decrypting proprietary console package formats, which depends on console-specific key material and low-level reverse-engineering knowledge that vibe coding cannot supply. The Windows UI around it is straightforward.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a Switch-format parser and cryptographic pipeline built by someone with console reverse-engineering experience, plus a UI layer such as a desktop GUI. The hardest part is the format and key handling, which is niche, poorly documented, and legally fraught.
