Could you build this?

No A Switch 2 emulator requires reverse-engineering proprietary hardware, operating system services, and GPU shader translation, which is specialized systems and low-level graphics work that vibe coding cannot substitute for.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a C++ core with a CPU dynarec/JIT for the Switch 2's ARM-based processor, a Vulkan-based GPU backend that translates the console's proprietary graphics commands and shaders, and emulated kernel and service layers. Building it means deep reverse engineering of firmware and games, plus extensive Android NDK and performance tuning. It takes a team of experienced emulator developers working over years, and legal and key-extraction questions add further constraints.
