No Porting Silent Hill 2 to the 3DS means rebuilding the game engine in C for the ARM11 and PICA200 GPU, which requires deep game engine, reverse-engineering, and low-level console development skills.
What it would actually take: The port needs a reconstructed codebase of the PC Director's Cut in C, a custom asset pipeline that converts the player's own files into 3DS-friendly formats, and a renderer targeting the PICA200 GPU with libctru or similar. This takes a team with reverse engineering, graphics programming, and 3DS homebrew expertise, plus substantial time for debugging on real hardware.
