ROM Hack CTRPluginFramework - Blank Plugin - Now with Action Replay

[Nanquitas]

Hey guys !

I released the new Luma3DS with plg loader + CTRPF Beta 0.5.0 on my new server: https://discord.gg/5M63VCD.

What are the advantages of this new system:

• Fix the reboot issue with plugins, you can now switch games without the need to reboot
• An api for the plugins are available (to create menus, use an event system to quit correctly the plugin and more)
  
• The plugin format embed some infos on the plugin, so an app to manage the plugins is possible
• Directly builtin within Luma3DS, so no need to load any external payload
• Might be merged in official Luma3DS (need time for code reviewing though)

Now the main issue, is that since it's brand new, none of your old plugins will work with it. They need to be updated to be able to use them with this loader.
It'll take time (and the original plugin's author willingness) to update all old plugins to this new format.


CTRPF got updated to work with it, and the Action Replay is now way more powerful with a few new code types.

This is great! Let's hope the existing plugins will be updated.

Okay, (some of?) the miscellaneous options of the CTRPF beta like show FPS or touches can get confused. After 3DS sleep (or a reboot?) for example, the option is unticked in the settings, but it's active. Ticking the box makes it deactivate.

 

[Nanquitas]

Does it do that on CTRPF 0.5.0 ?

Yes. I'll try Beta 0.5.1.

 

[Nanquitas]

I see, it's most likely in 0.5.1 too.
I'll fix it, thanks for the bug report !

Great! Some details I discovered: ticking only the top panel FPS option, after sleep all is ok. After a reboot the FPS was still being displayed but the option was turned off. Instead, the touch coord option was on, but not active.

I got some more feedback/questions after using it for a little while.

• How does the guidebook function work again?
• Love the screenshot functionality
• The FPS options are really cool
• InputRedirection needs WiFi, otherwise it fails to start (with a specific error code I didn't write down)
• The c-stick didn't work in Captain Toad and Majora's Mask, but it did after I tried to enable InputRedirection, which failed due to WiFi being off. After turning WiFi on, it was still on the failed error, but after pressing A and exiting that Rosalina menu item, my c-stick worked
• I would love it if you could implement @Joel16 's separate panel brightness app functionality in CTRPluginFramework. There's also NTR Plugin --- Backlight adjust, that supposedly enables an even lower brightness setting. And better yet, a newer Redshift enabled Luma3DS luild, from last September, with source code.

 

[Nanquitas]

Thanks for all the infos.

I'll implement the LCD backlight option since CTRPF already have everything for that.

The InputRedirection indeed needs wifi, but it's only if you use it, as long as the patch are applied it'll fix the issue.
I'll soon implement a new service to rosalina to automatically apply the patchs, it's on my TODO list.

For the guide, you can check this pdf section Game Guide for all the infos.
This guide is a little old, but the Game Guide didn't changed since then (might actually need to take a look at it).

Ohh, this is so cool. I updated my previous post with some more recent LCD tweaking programs, by the way. Seriously, for me, your Luma3DS mod and the CTRPluginFramework is the single most exciting and most value adding thing in the 3DS hacking scene.

[...]but it's only if you use it, as long as the patch are applied it'll fix the issue.

Can you explain this? I didnt get it.

Aweome.

Thanks, I'll have a try.

Also, for popularity's sake, you could make a posting on Reddit, or update the OP?

It's a technical stuff, nothing you can do manually except turning the INputRedirection on.

Yeah, it's planned. But some issues were discovered on O3DS and I'd like to fix them before it impacts a lot more of people and I get flooded with the same bug reports.
It'll just take a bit of time to implement the fix as I need to do more kernel reverse-engineering to understand to cause.

Very cool project you are working on here! Please feel free to incorporate the redshift module that @jelbo linked to (preferably as top in main menu again but w/e). I will need to try developing a plugin with the new CTRPF as a holiday project. Perhaps for Kingdom Hearts as I've always fancied stopping the dream drops to just mess around.

Hope you can also add support for the very old ntr plugins (the plug in that goes in white screen with cheatlist in black text that is checkable), theres some good ntr cheat plugin that was not updated to be compatible to ctrpf.
Thanks and have a nice day.

umm will .3gx work on the 3ds 0-0

 

[notjohn_lolol]

After putting in the boot.firm and restarting my o2ds im geting the error "failed to apply 1 firm patches" any idea how to fix this?

 

[Newgate]

Excuse me I'm noob at 3ds hack stuff. I want to know how this plugin worked. First of all I have O3DS Luma 9.1 official build (not using any modded luma), im using newest 11.9 firmware, and currently i'm using ntr plugin. So my question is:

1. How to open rosalina?
2. How ctrpf cheat worked? Is there any updated guide? Looks like the guide are outdated
3. Can my official luma 9.1 build run this? If cannot can I/ how I change it to luma 9.1 modded? (I'm afraid it can brick my 3ds)
4. Which ctrpf version I should use? Can anybody give me the most stable ctrpf ver. that could work with the most cheat or plugin

Thanks before, I appreciate your help. Sorry for my bad english

I assume you updated to the newest Beta? In that case you also need to find the new blank plugin, as everything is transitioning to a new plugin format. You'll also find it, and the instructions to install it, on the Discord.

You have to use either badda's Luma3DS mod (unofficial merge of Nanquitas' first mod with Luma3DS 9.1) or Nanquitas' Luma3DS mod (latest and greatest, with .3gx support).

L + R + Down + Select?

2. How ctrpf cheat worked? Is there any updated guide? Looks like the guide are outdated

Instructions in OP are still OK for this.

3. Can my official luma 9.1 build run this? If cannot can I/ how I change it to luma 9.1 modded? (I'm afraid it can brick my 3ds)

You'll need Nanquitas' mod from Discord or the mirror I provided. You can replace your existing Luma3DS with this one. Or boot it in another way. I use fastboot3DS.

4. Which ctrpf version I should use? Can anybody give me the most stable ctrpf ver. that could work with the most cheat or plugin

Currently, 0.5.1 Beta. It's on Nanquitas' Discord, or you can use this mirror.
