Ah, okay! I see.

No problem. If you need an extra tester just say the word. Can't wait for the next release!
Cheers!

Haha thank you so much! Development is a bit slow with other responsibilities and life.

But we are trying our hardest to improve things, reply to comments, and do more research as fast as we can!

Cheers!

any plan on open source?

any plan on open source?

Sorry, there aren't. We have a few reasons for this, such as how many members of the community who like to rng do so for the legitimacy of the Pokemon, and many traders often like proofs to prove Pokemon were obtained legitimately. Releasing our source would make it really easy for someone to spoof these proofs, so we're trying to mitigate any issues that could happen from that.

Thank you for your question though!

Ok, I'm confused. I have the plugins in the plugin folder. I get the green flash when starting up Moon. NTR's menu is working fine. But none of the button combinations will bring up the plugin menus. SuMo Cheat menus or whatever works fine, but when I remove that and try to use this plugin I get nothing.

11.3 U, if that matters.

What does your SD file structure look like from the root to the plugin folder?

Also, the button combinatons have been remapped due to future updates having different requirements. "X"+"Up" will enter the menu now.

X+Up also does not open the menu for me.

Are you on o3ds?

n3DSXL

Make sure it copied over correctly. You and I have the same setup (n3dsXL, folders and files right), and I always download the updates from gbatemp to my console as a final test to make sure everything is 100% correct.

Also double check that NTR is on. I've started the game a few times thinking it wasn't working, then realized I forgot to turn on ntr.

NTR has been on every time. I always make sure to check the NTR menu to make sure.

I've downloaded the plugins multiple times and recopied them over several times as well. I just noticed the lowercase E in the folder name, I'm going to edit that and see if that makes a difference.

That shouldn't make a difference.

Are you sure you're running the latest NTR that has support for overlay plugins?

 

[Hylianzero]

That did not help. I even tried updating NTR to the 3.4 Preview6 .BIN and it didn't help.

What is your ntr bin called?

I'm on 3.2. I tried 3.4 Preview6, but it wasn't even giving me the green flash when starting up.

I'm thinking your ntr bin is named incorrectly. Try installing Boot Selector NTR and see if that helps.

 

[Hylianzero]

What is your ntr bin called?

I rolled it back to 3.2 and the .BIN is just "ntr.bin" again. I downloaded the newer one from github named "ntr.n3ds.bin", but it didn't launch the CFW until I renamed the new one "ntr.bin". But like I said, that wasn't even giving me the plugin flash when I tried it that time.

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

Finally! I installed Boot Selector NTR and loaded up 3.4. Got a menu to pop up finally. You should think about adding an idiot proof step by step installation guide in the OP for people like me, lmao. Thank you for your help and for all of your hard work.

tbh, it feels to me like using this program would automatically undermine anyones claim to legitimacy anyway.
i mean i know its not the same thing as outright pkhexing a pokemon, but it does come incredibly close.

as for what i ( am planning to) use this for, mostly chaining once its supported. mostly for shiny things with ok ivs, as its clearly preferable to kill a bad shiny and keep the chain going till the next one comes by.
