Would a version(or fork) of GePatch be possible for the 3ds?

Or something like GePatch. For those of you who don't know, GePatch is a ps vita plugin for adrenaline that allows PSP games to run at the vita's native resolution.

Just from what I've looked up, GePatch is able to achieve 4x resolution upscaling by patching display lists and vertices within the PSP’s graphics engine(copy and pasted from here) and while I understand the psp's hardware and ds's hardware(for example, mips cpu for psp and arm for ds) and graphics engines are pretty different, shouldn't it at least be try-able for DS games?

Or why not try to port a ds emulator to the 3ds to upscale through there? I'm not a coding expert but from what I've heard running arm code on a better arm machine usually works ok as arm as pretty good backwards compatibility, and it mainly comes down to getting code made for one gpu to work on another through optimization and not brute force. (And I don't mean to open another can of worms, but I literally cannot find any specific model of what the ds gpu is. From what I've looked up it's related to the gba's 2d rasterizer.. So would it be basically gba > pica200?)

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless
