The 3GX file format is an evolution of the old PLG file format that is used in newer game plugins. You can use them via Luma3DS's built-in plugin loader.
Luma3DS in Universal Updater, and download the boot.firm fileboot.firm to the root of the SD card, replacing the boot.firm already thereThe 3GX plugin loader will look for plugins in the luma -> plugins directory. 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.
