3DS Rom Hacking
 
Hello!

I was wondering if there was a way to hack Pokemon Sun and Moon. I do not have a 3DS, nor do I have the money to get one. So can I hack them on my PC? If so how?

Please forgive my ignorance!

You can, though you'll need a reasonably powerful PC to run the 3DS emulator well.

You'll need Asia81's toolkit to unpack the ROM into editable files, which will allow you to use pk3ds to make changes to the game. Once you're done editing, you'll need to rebuild the ROM using the toolkit, and convert it to whatever format citra (a 3DS emulator) uses to play the game.

Can I convert it to a .cia file so I can install it on my 3ds? I am getting an R4i 3ds Gold Plus and am installing ntrboot, luma3ds, fbi, and some other stuff.

Yup, though I'd suggest using luma's game patching feature instead of building a custom cia file. It's a much faster and easier process.

How do I do that? I may as well learn now so I can do it when I get the R4i and install homebrew

It's explained in luma 3DS's GitHub page under "enable game patching": https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Optional-features
