Could you build this?

Partial The companion UI and settings are easy to vibe-code, but the core is native PS Vita homebrew that reads emulated game memory and integrates with the RetroAchievements runtime, which requires low-level systems knowledge.

What it would actually take: Building a real version means writing native Vita homebrew in C/C++ with the Vita SDK, hooking the Adrenaline emulator to read game memory, and integrating the rcheevos library for achievement logic. The hard parts are per-game memory mapping and debugging on real hardware, which takes reverse-engineering and embedded/emulator experience.
