Could you build this?

No Custom firmware for the Nintendo Switch 2 requires hardware exploits, low-level ARM and kernel work, and deep console security research that vibe coding cannot substitute for.

What it would actually take: Building this would need exploit development against the Switch 2's bootrom and secure-boot chain, followed by custom kernel and firmware code written in C and ARM assembly. It also requires physical test hardware and a reverse-engineering team with console-hacking experience.
