Under my sd:/luma, I have payloads, plugins folders and under plugins I have ActionReplay folder and under that I have the Actionreplay.plg file. Not sure what else.
When you go into the Rosalina menu does it say Luma v8.1.1?
I believe the luma firm attached to the first page of this post should be 9.0, place it on the root of your sd again if it doesn't say 9.0 in luma settings

What do you mean it crashes all the time? like when you load a game? if it crashes with an arm11 error, hold select when you power on, and in the luma config menu disable the arm 11 exception handler, see if that fixes your problem.

You need to "Enable Plugin Loader" in the Rosalina Menu. Press L+Down+Select to bring it up before you run a game. If that doesnt work the way you have your folders set up is probably the culprit. You can just have "plugins/ActionReplay/ActionReplay.plg" which will work for all games and is much more convenient. Also means you can run separate plugins from this fork of Luma, normal Luma and NTR.
*The right location should be SD:/luma/plugins/ActionReplay/ActionReplay.plg
Thanks, you two. It seems I had it set up as SD:/plugins/whatever when it's supposed to be SD:/luma/plugins/whatever.
I was having some problems with the game freezing on the loading screen after relocating the files to the right place, but then I realized that the plugin I was mainly attempting to test with probably isn't a CTPRF plugin, which meant the plugin loader would not work on it. Loaded up Ultra Moon and the game loads and cheat menu appears just fine.

So a couple of things from me. I too have installed Luma with plugin loader from the OP and I'm not getting Luma 9.0. When I go into Rosalina menu I'm getting ver. 8.1.1. I've only ever had luma 9.0 on my 3ds so it's definitely the change from the OP. Also, Homebrew seems a bit more buggy on this fw (I'm less bothered his though), an example Picodrive seems to be crashing a lot more than now.

I've tested out the CTRPluginFramework and there seems to be a limit on the amount of Codes you can place in one file. I've tried to add in some Wild Pokemon Modifier for Ultra Sun, and it seems to flash green on startup and load correctly. However, once I go into my save file it flashes orange twice and the plugin fails to work. I have gotten it to work with less codes placed in the text file. I have attached the file if anyone smarter than me can investigate?

I'm using the one from the OP and it also shows as 8.1.1 but I'm not too worried about that.
When loading homebrew did you try turning the plugin loader off first using the Rosalina menu?

Yeah, I never have the plugin loader on when launching homebrew, they're run through the Homebrew Launcher from 3DSX files. I mean I'm not too bothered by it for now as I know it's a POC, but thought I should report it.

Just have a problem using cheat search function...
im playing pokemon omega ruby, im using the old ctrpf plugin by mega-mew, i edited a certain value on the plg file to make it wok on luma plug in loader...
its working like activation of cheats.
the only thing that is not working is the cheat search function, when i search, almost all the values that are found is 00000000 and when i tried to edit the value it throws an errror and rebots my 3ds automatically... any solution? thanks...

I'm having trouble getting the plugin to work when attempting to use the "ActionReplay" method to make it work for all games without individual TID folders.
I can get it to work if I create the individual TID folders in the plugins folder however when trying with "ActionReplay" folder and name the file as "ActionReplay.plg" it just won't load at all.

I've tried reinstalling using fresh redownloaded files from github and still the same issue occurs if doing "ActionReplay.plg" but not if I do individual TID's.

I'm using a N3DS XL with latest cfw,
Any suggestions on a fix for this issue?

Is there a detailed tutorial on how to install this? I can't figure out what to do with all these files.
Place your .txt codes inside SD:/cheats and make sure they are just a cheat txt with the title id of your game, for instance, story of seasons tot should be SD:/cheats/000400000019F500.txt like that, now inside SD:/luma/plugins have a folder called ActionReplay and have the action replay plugin inside like this SD:/luma/plugins/ActionReplay/ActionReplay.plg and lastly take the boot.firm from the luma 9.0 fork and place it in the root of your sd like SD:/boot.firm

That should do it, go to your game and you should get a green flash

on the top screen it will say plugin loaded at the bottom right corner of the screen, when inside the game, press select and click on action replay, a list of your codes will be there

I followed all the instructions, but I'm not getting the green flash. The game just runs without doing anything extra.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
