Could you build this?

No Porting Resident Evil 4 to the Nintendo DS means reverse-engineering the original game's engine and assets and rewriting them for very different hardware, which is specialized low-level work with serious IP concerns.

What it would actually take: The port would require decompiling or reimplementing the original game logic, converting 3D models, textures, and audio to DS-compatible formats, and optimizing rendering and memory for a 2D-oriented, low-RAM console. It needs experienced retro-console and game-engine developers, DS homebrew toolchain knowledge (devkitARM, libnds), and a legal position on the underlying copyrighted material.
