3DS:Game plugins/3GX

The 3GX file format is an evolution of the old PLG file format that is used in newer game plugins. You can run them by using a fork of Luma3DS that has a plugin loader built-in.

Plugin location
The 3GX plugin loader will look for plugins in the  ->   directory. Each plugin must be inside a folder named with the game's Title ID. Inside the folder, place your  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 the CTRPluginFramework blank plugin), rename the plugin to  and just leave it in the   folder
