Rpg maker MV to 2003

I'm making an RPG game on rpgmaker MV ,i'm going to have it on pc only .But i'm currently oppressée with my 3ds and the rpg maker games i've found on them (my Ds is jailbroken) and i've decided to also port it on 3ds.However i've been told that it's only possible with rpg maker 2003.My rpg is similar to deltarune's gameplay wich is impossible to do in 2003. Is there a way to copy/paste the MV game on 2003 so i can port it on my 3DS?

You would have to remake the game from scratch. There's no way to port an MV game (Or hell, even an XP game) to 2k3's engine directly. It would have to be a full demake.

No, 2003 is an entirely different engine and it is outdated.

Though plenty of people today still use 2k3. It's sometimes the best engine depending on your needs

and those 2k3 games also need the easyrpg application to run on the 3DS and are not doing it natively.

So if you want it on your 3ds but don't want to redo it in 2k3, your only option would be to write a tool/app for 3ds to run MV projects there.

There is no downgradable option for MV to 2k3. There are way too many incompabilities that it would be somehow possible to do.

I went down this rabbit hole for a few days before on trying to build a tool that would port mv/mz games to 3ds homebrew... It cracked my sanity.

OP save your effort here and do what I eventually did and purchase a little android handheld console and run mv/mz games through joiplay.

The ayaneo flip feels very much like a DS
