Godot for homebrew: Could it be done?

Elf_Ears

With the recent DevBlog post about Godot's older incarnations running on the DS, I felt a little nostalgia for all the cool titles. (I actually always wondered if Godot ever ran on all those old handhelds and Godot's history is always really cool anyway!) I was wondering... Could Godot be modified to run on weird old setups like the DS etc?

With the talk of a lot of compatability breakage for the 3.0 update (please don't touch my beloved Indexed Colour!) I understand that it probably won't be possible with later versions.

I Know the DS in particular has a specific file layout (Not to mention weird proprietary sound formats) so Godot's project system may mess with that...

My question goes out to all the "Level 100 Black Wizard" programmers out there (With the arcane knowledge of the source code among other things)

Could it be possible?

DS is kind of an old system and doesn't really support GLES2 from what I recall. Can't tell with the 3DS either.

The PS Vita has hardware support for GLES2, but in order for it to work through Henkaku, I'd assume that there would be a need to write up a driver for GLES2, which is quite a bit of work. My guess is that if there would be someone to dedicate their time to push a homebrew platform for export then it'd be pretty great for the homebrew community.

Pretty sure it's possible to run a Godot title with the Pandora/Pyra, and seems possible to push some support for GCW Zero.

I know there's a port of Godot for Pandora. Tanks of Freedom runs on it: http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=tanksoffreedom
