Could you build this?

Partial A viewer UI and texture or audio preview are vibe-codeable, but parsing proprietary NUP container formats and rendering animated 3D models requires reverse-engineering work that AI assistance alone won't reliably deliver.

What it would actually take: The UI can be built in a desktop framework with a standard 3D library for model preview. The hard part is reverse-engineering the NUP container format: identifying headers, compression, and asset tables, then decoding the texture, audio, and skeletal or animation data. That requires binary-format analysis skills and time, often with hex-level tooling, and may depend on legal review of the game's assets.
