No, there isn’t an option for that, well maybe de OWSE(dev) at the bottom, I looked at it and it seems you can mod the map (npc, pickups...) I didn’t tested it, but maybe it can

I'll screw around with it with Sun, already randomized Moon. XD

I hate to double post, but I'm having an issue with the randomizer and the person who made just like... completely ignored me. I tried to randomize TMs, and it went through in the randomizer, but the game didn't accept the change. I checked my updates and I have no updates for Sun or Moon in my DLC list. Any ideas?

if you do have a clean copy of your folders, just randomize TMs again and copy/paste the garc

I figured out the problem. I was getting my folders mixed up because they all looked the same. So what I thought was the randomized code.bin file was actually the backup one I copied over by accident. *facepalm* At least I figured that much out by myself. I do hope they find a way to add field item randomization. I like the randomized shops, but I actually found a shop that was selling the Master Ball for literally nothing before I even took on the first trial. lol

To avoid that in the future, check the timestamps of the garcs. The one PK3DS just edited will be the most recent....

Okay, I'm trying to patch a JP game update with a translation patch and I still have no idea how to work this. Using Luma's innate patching lags my game so I'm trying to get a prepatched .cia running.

Image here is what was told in the translation's own post but I have no clue what this means either.

SciresM and co. are able to get into it to make their PK3DS work, but I figured I can too since I have a .3ds file. I can't decrypt it though, so I decrypted a .cia. That doesn't extract correctly...neither does the .3DS since it just crashes before it is about to extract the romfs...I don't know...

Despite my best efforts I can't extract and .3ds files. I'm trying to extract the files for a decrypted fire emblem awakening .3ds file and it runs and ends instantly with no files extracted. Is there something that I'm doing wrong because I sure as hell can't figure it out.

yeah the extracting doesnt work for ultra moon, i can extract the original moon easily and can randomize it too, but NOT with ultra moon, maybe the rom is not good i dont know. It just says extraction done in 1 second without creating any files.
