Could you build this?
No Static binary recompilation of ARM/Nintendo 3DS executables into native code requires deep systems programming, compiler engineering, and console hardware emulation expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires an intermediate representation compiler pipeline (like LLVM or custom IR) that translates 3DS ARM11 machine code into C/C++ or native binaries while accurately handling memory mapping, coprocessor instructions, and hardware registers. Additionally, an OS/HLE layer (like Zakuro) must accurately reimplement 3DS kernel syscalls, GPU (PICA200) command lists, and DSP audio processing. This requires senior-level low-level emulation, reverse engineering, and compiler design expertise.
