3DS:Game plugins/NTR

NTR is a generally outdated plugin loader.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

Installing BootNTRSelector

Using Universal Updater

What you need

• Universal Updater

Installation

1. Search for BootNTRSelector in Universal Updater
   • Get BootNTRSelector.cia if you are on a New 3DS or if you are on an old 3DS and want to use plugins with non-extended memory games
   • Get BootNTRSelector_Mode3.cia only if you are on old 3DS and want to use plugins with extennded memory games
2. Search for Luma3DS [Nanquitas] in Universal Updater, and download the boot.firm file
3. Reboot your system
4. 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

Using NTR

Plugin location

NTR will look for plugins in the plugin 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, put your .plg file

For example, the path may look like plugin -> 00040000001B5000 -> plugin.plg

Launching NTR

1. Open the BootNTRSelector app on your home menu
2. Select 3.6 on the version selection screen
   • 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
3. 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
4. Look at the information on the plugin's specific page for usage instructions - usage will differ per 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
