Could you build this?
No A Switch emulator requires binary translation (ARM64 dynarec), Switch OS service emulation, and GPU translation to Metal. This is years of specialist emulator engineering.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a dynamic recompiler for the Switch's ARM CPU code, emulation of the Horizon OS kernel and services, and a shader and graphics translation layer to Metal. Teams with emulator-development experience and extensive reverse engineering would be required, plus long-term compatibility work.
