|

### 3GX Plugin Edition
|
|
This edition of **Luma3DS** allows the loading of **.3GX plugins** in Luma3DS, which are otherwise officially unsupported.
|
|
|
|

#
|
|
### How to install this Edition
|
|
1. download the latest `boot.firm` from [the releases page](https://github.com/mind-overflow/Luma3DS-3GX/releases/latest)
|
|
2. put the downloaded `boot.firm` file in the `root` directory of your SD card (`sd:/boot.firm`), overwriting the official Luma3DS `boot.firm`.
|
|
3. (re)boot your 3DS, and when prompted, enable:
|
|
- "Enable game patching"
|
|
- "Show NAND or user string in System Settings"
|
|
4. press `START` and let your 3DS boot.

|
### How to install 3GX plugins
|
|
Plugins have to be installed in the `sd:/luma/plugins` folder.
|
|
Usually, you need to put your specific plugin in the `<TITLEID>` subdirectory, eg: `sd:/luma/plugins/<TITLEID>/<filename>.3gx`.
|
|
However, a `default.3gx` plugin can also be placed in the main `sd:/luma/plugins` directory: `sd:/luma/plugins/default.3gx`.
|
|
|
|
So:
|
|
``` yaml
|
|
sd:/luma/plugins/default.3gx # will be loaded for all games, low priority
|
|
sd:/luma/plugins/<TITLEID>/<filename>.3gx # will only be loaded for the specified title, high priority
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you know how to install 3GX plugins! Proceed to the next step to learn how how to enable 3GX plugins.
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
### How to enable 3GX plugins
|
|
1. when booted, press `L + D-Pad Down + Select` to open the Rosalina menu.
|
|
2. Press `D-Pad Down` again until `Plugin Loader`, is selected, then press `A` and set it to `[Enabled]`.
|
|
|
|
Done! You learned to install the 3GX Plugin loader, install 3GX Plugins and enable them. Now, simply launch the game you want to play and press `SELECT` to open up the 3GX menu!

### Luma3DS introduction
|
|
**Luma3DS** is a program to patch the system software of (New) Nintendo (2)3DS handheld consoles "on the fly", adding features such as per-game language settings, debugging capabilities for developers, and removing restrictions enforced by Nintendo such as the region lock.
|
|
|
|
It also allows you to run unauthorized ("homebrew") content by removing signature checks.
|
|
To use it, you will need a console capable of running homebrew software on the Arm9 processor.
|
|
|
|
Since v8.0, Luma3DS has its own in-game menu, triggerable by <kbd>L+Down+Select</kbd> (see the [release notes](https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/tag/v8.0)).
