Could you build this?
No Porting Crash Team Racing (a classic PS1 title) to run in stereoscopic 3D on the Nintendo 3DS requires intense console homebrew decompilation, rendering pipeline re-engineering, and hardware optimization.
What it would actually take: The project relies on a decompiled or reverse-engineered CTR engine ported using the libctru toolchain and devkitARM. The core challenge is modifying the fixed-function PSX geometry rendering pipeline into a dual-camera PICA200 stereoscopic 3D rasterizer, while maintaining a smooth framerate on the 3DS ARM11 CPU. It requires expert knowledge of PS1 MIPS assembly, Nintendo 3DS hardware registers, and low-level graphics optimization.
