How would you even go about testing a hack if you don't have a 3DS...?

What's the point of hacking a 3DS game if you don't have a 3DS?

Oh that's right, there is no point. :/

Well, for Citra you must already have a decrypted rom. So now you need to extract RomFS out of it, swap the files that were modded and repack the rom again. That's the basics. As for what to use to do it - if you can google up how to download 3DS games (as you don't have a 3DS to extract it) I'm sure you can google up the tools.

It is legal in some jurisdictions if you dumped the ROM yourself.
You can dump a decrypted ROM without a 3DS? Anyway, that topic aside!
OP, search for Asia81, they made a tutorial on ROM hacking, which should detail on how to edit the ROM and repack it once you've made edits to make it harder.

Is there any particular reason why you need to be able to hack a 3DS game without having a 3DS? (I'm not sure how you'd be able to test it otherwise, unless you're using Citra...)

why did you posted the same question twice in the forums? It's annoying and frowned upon by the guidelines on the forum.

And yes it is possible to hack a pokemon game by using this tutorial get familiar with it. and then use PK3ds to edit the romfs folder. repack it. and you are good.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
