Could you build this?

No Running J2ME games on the PS Vita requires a Java ME runtime implementation and Vita homebrew native code, which is low-level emulation work beyond vibe coding.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a MIDP/CLDC-compatible Java runtime or interpreter, a Vita homebrew toolchain (native C/C++ with the Vita SDK), and bridging for graphics, audio, and input. It requires experts in VM/emulator internals and console homebrew development.
