Could you build this?

No A native PC port of a Nintendo DS game through static recompilation requires specialized reverse-engineering of ARM and DS hardware behavior, which vibe coding cannot substitute for.

What it would actually take: The approach is static recompilation of the ARM9/ARM7 binaries into C or C++, with reimplemented DS hardware (2D/3D GPU, DMA, timers, touch and sound) and a native renderer such as OpenGL or Vulkan. The hard parts are accurate lifting of the binaries and faithful hardware reimplementation, which require experienced emulator and reverse-engineering developers. The project also needs the user's own game dump, which the software cannot supply.
