Hey, just did this today and to save people from reading through this thread, I am writing a small guide to walk people through how to download this plugin.
I am unable provide any links or pics cause im new


First and foremost
The ActionReplay.7z which unzips to ActionReplay.plg,
and Luma3DS 9.1 in the original post is not needed anymore.


Actual files needed
CTRPluginFramework - Blank Plugin: Google this name+pablomk7 and look for the GitHub link and download CTRPluginFramework-BlankTemplate.3gx (v0.7.4 as of date)

Luma3DS: Get from their GitHub, latest is v13.2.1


Where to put the files
Rename the plugin into default.3gx and put the .3gx file into sd:/luma/plugins so that it becomes sd:/luma/plugins/default.3gx

Put boot.firm from Luma3DS into root of SD, do it just like how you normally update luma


What next?

1. Hold Select and turn on your 3ds
2. Enter Luma3DS menu and enable Game Patching, Save and Exit
3. On New3DSes, enter Rosalina menu (L+Down+Select) and enable Plugin Loader (It is fine if there is no Green flash here)
4. Enter any game
5. Wait and Check if there is a blue flash and a line on the bottom right of the Top Screen saying Plugin loaded
6. If all is well Voila! Press Select to use plugin

Is there anything special I need to do for some games? I tried getting this to work with Kirby: Triple Deluxe and it crashes at the startup every time. Is it because I'm using my cartridge?

Some games aren't compatible with CTRPF and crash on startup. I don't know if Kirby TD is one of those, but I don't think it makes sense that the cartridge is the problem. I've used CTR on plenty of physical carts as that's the majority of my collection.

Does it work on other games?

 

[Hiroshi Mishima]

Yeah, tried it out on a few other games, both cartridge and installed and they all worked with the plugin just fine. Figures the one I went looking for this for won't work, though! It'll still be super useful for other stuff, I'm glad I found this.

Yeah, it's not a guaranteed thing!

Remember that Luma has the built-in cheat menu now as well that you can pull up during any game and try that way.

If you do that, I recommend turning any cheats on AFTER loading the save. I've had a lot of crashes activating cheats from the title screen.

I did this and I got the arm11 core 0 translation section error.
Currently using the newest version of Luma, running Japanese locale and intended to use the plugin for Japanese games.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I see a lot of people reporting the same issue with Kirby TD that I'm dealing with right now. Seems like the only fix is to disable plugins in Rosalina before booting Triple Deluxe.

Sorry for the late reply, does the plugin only crash for this game? Or does it work for any other games? If crashes only for this exact game, try turning the plugin off in the Rosalina menu.
If game runs without crashing, the plugin is defo not compatible with the game
If you have cheats.txt for the game, you could use Rosalina menu > cheats to enable them for the game

I think there is no workaround unless you know how to look at error dumps and know how to debug rewrite and restructure the code

Only issues I'm having it the autosave/load selected cheat never works, and I have no idea how to favorite anything. Not a huge deal to manually select whichever cheats on restart, but anyone have any clue on what's wrong?
