==ROM hacks==

ROM hacks are game mods that work by modifying or adding to a games files to change or add new content. ROM hacks can be made for a variety of different reasons, from making a game harder, adding new levels, translating the game to a different language, texture packs, randomization, and much more. Most ROM hacks on 3DS are distributed as unpacked files, and applied using Luma3DS's layeredfs. You can find some ROM hacks on their individual game pages; see a full list at [[Category:Nintendo 3DS games]], or use the search feature.

==Game plugins==

Plugins are add-ons that run with a game. Plugins generally come in two types, 3GX or PLG. [[3DS:Game plugins/3GX|3GX plugins]] run using Luma3DS's built in plugin loader, while [[3DS:Game plugins/PLG|PLG plugins]] can be run using [https://github.com/Nanquitas/BootNTR BootNTR]. 3GX plugins are usually newer and should generally be used if given a choice. ~~A large collection of PLG~~ plugins ~~can be found in the~~ [~~https~~:~~//github.com/ItsDeidara/MegaNTR MegaNTR collection here~~] or ~~you can browse for [https://www.gamebrew~~.~~org/wiki/List_of_all_3DS_Rom_Hacks#Plugins-0 Plugins on gamebrew]~~

==Save editors==

~~WIP~~

Save editors are tools that allow game saves to be edited in order to unlock items, change game progression, edit characters or companions and more. Save editors are usually limited by what the game is already capable of doing, but can sometimes unlock items not earnable through normal gameplay. Most save editors require your save to be unencrypted; you can use a save game manager such as [[Checkpoint]] to make unencrypted backups and restore save backups. You can find some Save editors on their individual game pages; see a full list at [[:Category:Nintendo 3DS games|Category:Nintendo 3DS games]], or use the search feature.

==ROM editors==

~~WIP~~

ROM editors are tools that allow game files or code to be edited in order to change how the game functions. Depending on the editor it may be able to edit textures or sounds, add new game content, make the game more/less difficult, remix content in a new way such as randomizers, and much more. You can find some ROM editors on their individual game pages; see a full list at [[:Category:Nintendo 3DS games|Category:Nintendo 3DS games]], or use the search feature.
