Don't worry... they're not stupid questions. We all had the same

I don't know how much the modification would cost, but there's a much
cheaper way to use Japanese HuCards on a TG-16. You can simply get a
converter like the Kisado, or even the more inexpensive purple
converter that has been dubbed the "Barney Converter". This plugs in
the HuCard Slot, and has an opening on the end so that you can slide
the HuCard inside. I've used the purple converter for over 6 years
in my TG-16, and I have had no problems. You can probably get the
purple converter for a few bucks, compared to the Kisado which is
more in demand since tons of people have Turbo Duos.
To be honest, getting a converter would probably be the cheapest
route. That is, unless you really want to get the actual
modification.
