Could you build this?
No Porting a complex Nintendo DS 3D game natively to Nintendo 3DS requires deep assembly/C++ reverse engineering, decompilation expertise, and hardware-specific graphics pipeline translation (PICA200).
What it would actually take: This relies on decompiled SM64DS source code (ARM assembly to C++) re-architected to compile against the 3DS homebrew toolchain (devkitARM, libctru, Citro3D). Developers must manually rewrite rendering subsystems from DS software/nitro3d to the 3DS PICA200 GPU, optimize audio drivers for the 3DS DSP, and handle dual-screen touchscreen mapping with low-level console debugging.
