On the Nintendo 3DS, game plugins are add-ons that run with specific games. They can often be used to:
- Use pre-defined cheat codes (e.g. ultraSuMoFramework)
- Generate items or change game elements (e.g. Vapecord)
- Assist with gameplay (e.g. pokeCalcNTR)
- Create your own cheat codes (CTRPluginFramework blank plugin)
Plugins most commonly come in two formats: the 3GX format and the PLG format. PLG format plugins are generally older and may not work as expected on the latest firmware.
The pages below serve as a general tutorial for running plugins - they do not serve as a tutorial on their usage. For information on specific plugins, check the page for the game in question.
