Edits to a downloaded pokemon hack

[Vrael]

Hey all,

 

So I've tried a fair few rom hacks for ORAS and while I really like bits and pieces from a lot of them, none were exactly spot on. I decided to see if I could edit it myself, and so learned how to play with PK3ds.

 

Then I found a new problem in that you can't open rom hacks by themselves with PK3DS because there aren't enough files contained inside it. And you can't simply copy and paste the hack's files over a dump of which ever game you're attempting to mod because pk3ds doesn't like it... For some reason. I've since spent a couple of days searching either tutorials or just some idea on how to do that. Evidently, I failed that one.

 

So! Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Other than attempting to find a premade .cia and attempting to dump that? That's my only other idea at this point. Anything would be helpful at this point, so links to tutorials that might help would also be appreciated.

 

Cheers in advance!
