Could you build this?

Partial Generating templated Android APKs with per-game icons is achievable, but making each game boot inside a wrapper depends on emulator or launcher internals and Android packaging details that are fragile.

What it would actually take: A real version needs an Android app template that generates signed APKs with custom icons and launches the bundled game through an emulator core such as RetroArch libretro or a similar runtime. The hard parts are the packaging pipeline, handling different game backup formats, and keeping the wrapper stable across Android versions, which takes Android build and emulator-integration expertise.
