[DarkRioru]

[axemurderer]

I don't get the cheat menu on the bottom screen... I get the same ntr menu I get on the home menu with no plugins section...

Did you make sure to create a plugins folder on your SD card?

like plugin/TITLEID/cheat.plg?

I did...

Some plugins doesn't have a cheat menu. They use button combinations

I tried games that do have in-game-menu stated and no cheats appear within the ntr-menu, and yes i did everything correctly with the files. example mario 3d land USA says in game menu yet nothing is there!

Quite the necro...
A lot of recent plugins are opened with the select button in-game, so try that

 

[omega59]

Yeah i tried Select it just pauses the game lol.

Yeah i tried Select it just pauses the game lol.

did it flashes green when you boot the game? if not then the plugin is not loaded
otherwise, try contact the person who made the cheat.plg

What game(s) are these plugin(s) for?

 

[omega59]

Tried Super Mario 3d Land USA from here http://ntrplugins.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Plugins
Says has menu but i don't see any menu.
Also tried Castlevania Mirror of Fate USA, i know it says it has no menu, but no trigger button cheats work anyways. Same with Luigi's Manson New Moon USA.

 

[Gamerjin]

ok, will look into it..

 

[omega59]

Some how i got Castlevania to work.. though there is no in-game-menu just triggers. I press x+y then the trigger buttons.

 

[Gamerjin]

OK, for super Mario 3D land, the codes are for the "second item", the item in the circle on the bottom screen. you HAVE to an item for it to work....

Button_D = Dpad

BUTTON_SELECT + BUTTON_DRight: Mushroom
BUTTON_SELECT + BUTTON_DLeft: Fire Flower
BUTTON_SELECT + BUTTON_DUp: Raccoon Leaf
BUTTON_SELECT + BUTTON_DDown: Stone Raccoon Leaf
BUTTON_SELECT + BUTTON_R: Boomerang flower
BUTTON_SELECT + BUTTON_L: P-Wing (that takes you to the goal)

i looked into the link it posted, but idk why it says there's a menu when according to the included source there's not?

 

[omega59]

yes no menu at all i dont see one. and none of those codes work anyhow just tested.

 

[Gamerjin]

just to make sure. you did have an item in that circle on the bottom screen right? cuz that how i was testing the codes....
once you activate the codes you tap on the item on the bottom screen...
sadly, its not an instant change....

 

[omega59]

ohh i see, it works this way now thanks. i wish they would post content with specific details on how to operate them really frustrating!

 

[Gamerjin]

the only reason i was able to figure it out was because i look at the code structure and work from that, from the source there, it was writing multiple codes to the same address, so i figure it must the "holding item" address, since if you're familiar with super Mario world 3d land for wiiu, its very similiar.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

and yes i agree, its difficult when there's no readme on how to use the plugin.

 

[omega59]

ohh i see. tell me, how come many games don't have a menu anyhow?
