Hum nope, i've watched the trailer today, and i can say it works like NB / NB 2.
Excepted the 3DS format specificities to discover and the time for having dumps and emulator, these games are already potentially editable, on multiple points, included Map hacking.

And besides... it would be extremely hard to put a closed source emulator like No$GBA in the tool, even for it's debugging purposes.

Being closed source is not relevant because running an external exe is an operating system process. I would also look into doing functionality like this just like real programming IDE's do. Save the code or changed textres/models in this case and then dump them back into the rom during the save process and have the build or run functionality call the emulator.

P.S. you can always use a decompiler to figure out the code of No$GBA. I'm sure there is a space in memory you can cram the pre-loaded rom into.

I know there would probably be bugs with this, but one thing that I would love to see is the ability to export maps and models from one game (say Platinum) and import them into another (say Black). This would be tough to do, but this plus the ability to create maps from scratch in theory would allow the creation of a "World Version" that includes all of the current regions.

This NPRE branch do not support models.
But you can use Spiky's tool if you want.
