Could you build this?
No Porting Morrowind (OpenMW) to run on Nintendo DS hardware is severely constrained by hardware limits and requires extreme low-level embedded optimization and engine rewrite.
What it would actually take: The Nintendo DS has only 4MB of RAM (or 16MB on DSi/expansion) and two weak ARM CPUs (ARM9 and ARM7) without modern 3D graphics hardware support. Re-implementing or heavily paring down an engine like OpenMW to fit DS limits requires custom software 3D rasterization or strict utilization of the DS fixed-function 3D engine, custom memory streaming, and manual assembly optimization using devkitARM/libnds. This requires elite embedded and retro game development expertise.
