3DS:Game plugins/NTR

NTR is a generally outdated plugin loader. However, it is still necessary to load older plugins in the  format. The only way to load NTR on modern CFW setups is using BootNTRSelector.

Installing BootNTRSelector

 * If you are on an old 3DS and want to use plugins with extended memory mode games (such as seventh generation Pokémon games and Super Smash Bros.), also get  as you will need to use it for such games
 * The 3GX loader fork of Luma3DS
 * Even though you're running PLG format plugins, we currently require the 3GX loader version of Luma3DS for BootNTR Selector to work. You won't actually be using the 3GX loading component (unless, of course, you're using any 3GX plugins).

Installation

 * Copy the BootNTRSelector .cia file(s) to your SD card
 * Copy the  from the 3GX loader fork of Luma to the root of the SD card, replacing the   already there
 * Insert the SD card into your system and power it on
 * On the Luma Configuration screen, enable any options that you need, then press Start
 * Hint: If you don't know what the options are, you don't need them
 * Install the BootNTRSelector  file using FBI

Plugin location
If you're using the default configuration, NTR will look for plugins in the  folder on the root of your SD card. Each plugin must be inside a folder named with a game's Title ID. Inside the folder, place your .plg file.
 * You can get the game's title ID from here (cartridges), here (digital games), or from the  menu. For example, Taiko no Tatsujin: Dokodon! Mystery Adventure's title ID is , so if you wanted to use a plugin for that game, you'd create a folder named
 * The creator of the plugin may have already created a folder with the correct name for you, in which case you can just copy the title ID folder from the plugin's zip/rar/7z archive to the  folder
 * If you want the plugin to run for all games (for example, for an FPS overlay), create a folder called  inside the   folder and place your plugin inside

Launching NTR

 * 1) Open the BootNTRSelector app on your home menu
 * 2) Select 3.6 on the version selection screen
 * 3) * Even if the plugin you are using says that it requires another version, try using 3.6 instead. Only use another version if 3.6 will not work
 * 4) Launch a game that you have a plugin for. You should see a green flash upon loading the game - that means that the plugin is active
 * 5) Look at the information on the plugin's webpage/README for usage instructions - usage will differ for each plugin

Usage notes

 * You cannot play more than one game with NTR without rebooting the system. When you are done playing a game, power off the system
 * You must launch NTR every time you wish to use a plugin
 * Certain applets, such as the New 3DS's internet browser, may crash if you try to open them while NTR is active
