This is blank CTRPF plugin to be used by Luma3DS with plugin loader. It gives you a blank plugin so you can use the tools (search, guide and others) without being annoyed by builtin cheats.

You can use 2 plugins (or more, but only 1 ctrpf plugin) at the same time, and so you can use this blank plugin with another plugin which will have your cheats. You can also change the hotkey in Tools/Settings to avoid any overlapping.

User guide

Action Replay

CTRPF now have it's own Action Replay system:

It can now load your cheats from a text file (no longer require any converter or compilation).
It support Folder and note managing and also have it's own editor (edit/create/delete the codes at runtime).
CTRPF supports all Gateshark code types and even some custom code types (List of all supported codetype).

The cheats files can be at 2 locations:

cheats.txt in the same folder of the plugin
sd:/cheats/<tid>.txt - Replace <tid> by the title id of the game
To use, unzip ActionReplay.7z and put it on your SD card (see the Luma3DS section below to use the ame plugin for all games).

Gateshark cheats

Gateshark cheats should be supported at 100% by the Action Replay:

Just unzip and copy the cheats folder at the root of your SD card.
Note that no all cheats work.
If a cheat is not working, it just means that the cheat is wrong: no support will be done for cheats not working.

You can also find codes here:

Gateway cheats thread (since all codes are supported).
Database thread started by Vermil.
Github repo by HollowedFear.

Luma3DS with Plugin Loader

An edited version of plugin loader is also provided (from NTR into Luma3DS):

The goal was to be able to launch plugins from Luma3DS without the need to use BootNTR Selector.
So, this is possible, but know that only CTRPF plugins can be loaded from this plugin loader.
Unzip boot.7z then put it on your SD card (rename any existing boot.firm to boot.firm.bak in case you want to go back).

The plugins can be set at 2 places:

sd:/luma/plugins/<tid>/plugin.plg - Name of the plugin must be plugin.plg and you have to replace <tid> by the title id of your game.
If a plugin isn't found in the tid folder, Luma3DS will search for ActionReplay.plg in sd:/luma/plugins/ActionReplay/ActionReplay.plg.

For N3DS/O3DS:

The plugin loader is automatically enabled on Old3DS because Mode3 games needs it.
So on N3DS, you have to enable the plugin loader from Rosalina (L+D-Pad Down+Select), and you can disable it too.
You can't disable it for Mode3 games though (O3DS only).

Note: See here for more info.

Known issues

On N3DS, if the game uses the N3DS's HID (cstick, zl & zr), it won't work. Easy fix:

Open Rosalina.
Go in the Miscellaneous options menu.
Start the Input Redirection.
That's it, go back to your game, it should work now.
