Basic Mario Kart 7 plugin that citra supports

1. move ctr-plugin.3gx into the path depending on your game's region below

• usa: %appdata%/citra/sdmc/luma/plugins/0004000000030800
• europe: %appdata%/citra/sdmc/luma/plugins/0004000000030700
• japan : %appdata%/citra/sdmc/luma/plugins/0004000000030600

2. enable plugin loading within citra at emulation -> configure -> system -> enable 3gx plugin loader

• if the option isnt available, update to the newest version of citra at https://github.com/PabloMK7/citra

1. if you dont already have it, install the devbuild version of bizhawk from (https://gitlab.com/TASVideos/BizHawk/-/artifacts), as normal builds of bizhawk do not have 3ds support
2. move ctr-plugin.3gx into the path depending on your game's region below (replace [bizhawk directory] with the location of your bizhawk installation of course)

• usa: [bizhawk directory]/3DS/User/sdmc/luma/plugins/0004000000030800
• europe: [bizhawk directory]/3DS/User/luma/plugins/0004000000030700
• japan : [bizhawk directory]/3DS/User/luma/plugins/0004000000030600

2. launch mario kart 7, and then enable plugin loading at 3DS -> Settings -> Sync Settings -> Enable 3GX Plugin Loader
3. reboot the game
