Could you build this?
No Porting a complex fruit fly biological connectome and 3D rendering pipeline to execute within the strict hardware limits of a Game Boy Advance requires expert embedded systems knowledge and assembly/C optimization.
What it would actually take: Written in C/ARM Assembly using devkitARM and libgba targeting the 16.78 MHz ARM7TDMI processor with 288 KB RAM. Requires mathematical downsampling of connectome graph structures to fit within cartridge ROM and custom fixed-point 3D rasterization algorithms tailored to the GBA's tile/bitmap video modes.
