Hey everyone. I'm willing to do an english translation of the 3ds version of Dragon Quest XI, but I'm new to romhacking. So, could anyone provide me with the necessary tools & files to start translating DQ XI? Help would be much appreciated!

Nope, I just want some help with the technical aspects. I have a lotta free time and I'm willing to translate all the text myself, I just don't know much on the technical side.

What he's trying (and failing) to explain is that 3DS hacking is such unknown territory, that if you have to ask how to get started, it's likely your idea is beyond the scope of your abilities. You may have to take some time to learn programming in general (in which case, I've heard that romhacking.net has some good tutorials) before you can start translating a 3DS game.
Its also that this gets asked over and over again so many times on here. And about least 99% of the time the OP has very little to no programming experience both for 3ds programming and programming in general. This is turn usually leads to ridicule as the lot of posts then usually come off as a make me this thread. These things can take years to complete and no one wants to waste their time on such futile things.

I wouldn't say it is, I imagine people are just being so pessimistic due to requests like this every other week that go no where.
I would start with getting the ROM unpacked, if you can't work that step out with all the tutorials around I'd be worried and on top of that I believe all the files for this DQ are in PACK file, I'm unsure if it's a known format or not.
@SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
