This is a Luma plugin for New Super Mario Bros. 2. This plugin is made with customization and compatibility in mind, meaning many of the codes can be customized to allow the user to enter their own values (i.e. coin count modifier) or choose exactly what they want (i.e. Power-Up or Speed Modifier).

Features

  • Region free.
  • Customizable codes.
  • Wide variety of codes, ranging anywhere from practical to fun.
  • All standard features of CTRPluginFramework.

Installation

Note: This requires Luma3DS 3GX Loader Edition.

  • Find the title ID for your game. You can find your title ID by:
    • Launching the game, opening the Luma menu (L+Select+Down), and then clicking on Cheats.
    • It will say no cheats found for <title ID>. Write that down somewhere.
    • If cheats show up instead of a title ID, then there is a file in SD:/cheats/ that contains your title ID as the file name.
  • Place the .3gx plugin file into the folder on your SD card: SD:/luma/plugins/<title ID>/.
  • When on the Home Menu, press L+Select+Down to access the Luma3DS menu (or if you have a different combination, use that).
  • Enable plugin loading. This option will stay enabled from now on, unless you turn it off.

User guide

Upon running NSMB2, the plugin should load and you will be greeted with further usage instructions.

This plugin relies heavily on notes to help users understand how to use codes.

These notes contain important information such as button activators, which are necessary to properly use each code.

FAQ

Q. The game freezes when I open the menu, or sometimes other times randomly.

This is some strange problem with CTRPF, Luma, and NSMB2 when they're all together.

Opening the Luma menu with L+Select+DPadDown, and then exiting the menu with B, tends to unfreeze the game most of the time.

This is not related to any codes, or to this plugin specifically.

Q. The bottom screen flashes when I use the plugin.

That's a problem with CTRPF that doesn't currently have a fix. With certain games, the flashing is a lot more prevalent.

NSMB2 happens to be one of the games where it flashes a lot.

Q. How do I convert decimal to hexadecimal?

There are many calculators that can do this, here is one of them.

If you want an offline one, the Windows 10 calculator can do it if you switch it to Programmer mode.

Q. Some codes don't work until I enter a level or change world.

That's normal. The game loads certain values when you enter a new area and doesn't reload them until it needs to. The codes are working as intended.
