im going to just point you to https://gbatemp.net/threads/can-som...tnite-3ds-homebrew-port.648323/#post-10353891 about this whole porting thing. As you must of forgot what people have told you there which is relevant to every port.
and a close sourced and proprietary game. Which means a lot about not being able to do a thing with it without getting your ass sued.
So what? In your other thread you were asking someone to rewrite the game from scratch.
If you want to rewrite Subway Surfers from scratch, then no one is going to do that for you just because you ask nicely.
Nope and with the lack of devkitpro documentation good luck ever seeing a port or fan made recreation unless someone already knowledgable in making homebrew ports is bored
There isn't some sort of magical program where you put in an .apk or .ipa file and it spits out a .cia file.
A game port requires work, and a LOT of it, especially if the game is closed-source. That would require reverse-engineering it, which is an incredibly tedious task to do. And after the reverse-engineer of it is done, the work to actually port it can begin. It's also not an easy task due to the fact that most of the documentation for 3DS development is locked away in Nintendo's developer portal and not readily available.
No one is going to do all of this for free, and ALSO risk a lawsuit from the game developers due to the reverse-engineer.
When someone reverse-engineered GTA 3 and GTA Vice City, it took them years and in the end, Rockstar sued them for it. Do you really think that all this trouble is worth going through just to be able to play Fortnite or Subway Surfers on 3DS?

I think the better question would be why anyone would want to play Subway Surfers on the 3DS.
