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.
Installation
What you need
Installation
- Search for
Luma3DS [Nanquitas]in Universal Updater, and download theboot.firmfile - Reboot your system
- In the Luma configuration screen, select any options you need, then press START
- Hint: If you don't know what the options are, you don't need any
What you need
Installation
- Copy the
boot.firmfrom the 3GX loader fork of Luma to the root of the SD card, replacing theboot.firmalready 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
Using 3GX plugins
Plugin location
The 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.
- You can get the game's title ID from here (cartridges), here (digital games), or from the
FBI -> Titlesmenu. For example, Taiko no Tatsujin: Dokodon! Mystery Adventure's title ID is0004000000190E00, so if you wanted to use a plugin for that game, you'd create a folder named0004000000190E00 - 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
pluginsfolder - If you want the plugin to run for all games (for example, for the CTRPluginFramework blank plugin), rename the plugin to
default.3gxand just leave it in thepluginsfolder
An 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.
Using 3GX plugins
- Open the Rosalina menu ([Left Shoulder] + [Down D-Pad] + [Select] by default)
- Scroll down to the plugin loader option, then press (A) to enable it
- Exit the Rosalina menu by pressing (B) a couple of times
- Open your game of choice
- The screen should flash another color to indicate that the plugin has successfully loaded
- Look at the information on the plugin's webpage/README for usage instructions - usage will differ for each plugin
