No Ahead-of-time recompiling 3DS games for ARM handhelds requires reverse engineering the ARM11 code and reimplementing the PICA200 GPU, which needs specialist low-level emulation and compiler expertise.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a static recompiler that translates 3DS ARM11 binaries into native code, plus a GPU and OS-service HLE layer targeting the R36S's hardware. The work calls for deep console reverse-engineering and emulator-development expertise, and it is a multi-year effort.
