Each plugin must be inside a folder named with the game's Title ID. Inside the folder, place your .3gx file.
FBI -> Titles menu. For example, Taiko no Tatsujin: Dokodon! Mystery Adventure's title ID is 0004000000190E00, so if you wanted to use a plugin for that game, you'd create a folder named 0004000000190E00plugins folderdefault.3gx and just leave it in the plugins folderAn example directory for a plugin affecting one game would be luma -> plugins -> 0004000000190E00 -> plugin.3gx.
An example directory for a plugin affecting all games would be luma -> plugins -> default.3gx.
