Hi everyone!

I noticed there was a project called switch-nfp-mitm, which had lots of forks, but none of them properly working (people reported it barely worked, and with some games), thus I decided to try to fix it, or to improve it as much as I could. Well, the results were that good, that I've just managed to get it working perfectly, even with a nice system of combos for Amiibo swapping, in just 2 days.

So, well, here's the result:

emuiibo

emuiibo is a virtual amiibo (amiibo emulation) system for Nintendo Switch!​

It consists on a background process (and service), which intercepts Nintendo Switch's internal NFC/NFP services to support virtual amiibo emulation, plus an overlay to easily control it.

• For more detailed information, check emuiibo's GitHub repository: https://github.com/XorTroll/emuiibo​

• Releases: https://github.com/XorTroll/emuiibo/releases/latest​

Have fun playing around with custom virtual amiibos!

It's opensource so it could technically be ported. But I suspect those system are on the backburner.

it cannot be.

Stop derailing this thread

I would love this for 3DS as well. I always kinda figured the Rosalina menu could be used but it never happened...?

Welp, input is broken completely (turning on or off is not a thing, seems to be always on) and it does not work with BotW

Works great here using atmosphere 0.8.7 and using amiiswap along with this is awesome. Thx @XorTroll for the great release and awesome job. Also thanks to @FuryBaguette for the simple gui to select the needed amiibo's easily. Using your program is it possible to put the .bins into seperate folders inside the sd://emuiibo directory to seperate them and make it easier to find the desired amiibo? I know im asking alot . Keep up with the great work the switch scene is getting better by the day.

Edit.. Also it may help people if someone added the link to amiiswap to the topic instead of it 1st being mentioned on page 2 before repeated over and over again because people dont read every post. Only reason i knew it was there is i was reading about it at work and seen it then lmao.

Thanks ! The folder thing is a planned feature for next release

a page back there is a post telling you how to use it on BOTW

It does work with Breath of the Wild, you just need to do the selection and activation before you even start up the game.

Might be a memory limitation, no other game has that issue.

No memory limitation, just how does the game use actual nfp services. Apparently it might be accessing them just when the game starts, and the combos have to be done before that.

@XorTroll I'm curious, is there currently a way to overlay a homebrew app over games?

 

[Loveabelle]

Maybe you guys can help me out, I can't seem to get emuiibo to work. Either the instructions aren't detailed enough, or I'm just an idiot. I'm using ReiNX and dropped the downloaded file in the titles folder like it said to. It says to set the boot2.flag; do I need to do anything other than put it into the folder? What do I do with the nfpemu-libnx folder, there was no explanation on that...? Do I need any other files, aside from the ones in the zip? I created an emuiibo folder and put .bin's of the amiibo's there, and they show up when using amiiswap, but I can't seem to actually use them when in game, using the combos. I'm on firmware 7.0.1, and I'm testing this on Splatoon 2, if that helps.

Ask @exelix11 about his work replacing tbe overlay applet, and @crc32

Is it the same applet that drops the "Low Battery" popup?

 

[exelix11]

Me and crc32 are working on a custom overlay applet, i've posted a few poc videos on my twitter: https://twitter.com/exelix11/status/1104796745794572288 The source code is available on github at crc32/layoff but there's no release for now.
While the video looks impressive there's still a lot to do, most importantly hardware acceleration cause the current solution slows down some games when is active. We'll make a release thread when everything is ready.
An ui for emuiibo is also planned.

Believe it or not, it was on and the selection was made. Works in Mario Odyssey just fine.

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

Can't tell isnt a defense to copyright infringement. I know first hand that dave sent SPX the code. Just because Dave didnt post the code, doesnt mean you are allowed to copyright it.

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



All evidence does not suggest this is OK. XorTroll admitted to the license violation, it reall yfeels like gbatemp is trying to end discussion over the license violation to protect a developer they like.

SPX stole the code from dave's devil, xortroll cant claim "I didnt know it was stolen, so i can copyright it"

Dave was *not* involved in this at all (I wish he was). My fork was made because XHE (averne) abandoned his and there were some major easy to fix issues like looped hid init that would crash ams. You can compare my fork to averne's and see how much is changed, functionally speaking there is no improvement.

Speaking of Mario Odyssey, i also have the problem another poster mentioned before, in that special edition amiibos are not recognized. In Odyssey, a noral Mario gives you a retro outfit, the Odyssey Mario gives you a wedding suit, and a gold Mario gives you, well, a gold outfit.

In emulation, the gold and Odyssey Marios only give you the "normal" retro outfit though, they're recognized as the base standard amiibos. Same with others like the Peach/Bowser Odyssey amiibos, they only give you the standard rewards instead of the special outfit.

Works great for every game I've tried it with except for 1 mall thing in BOTW, the one thing I don't understand is why is it that when I download a 20 heart wolf link amiibo bin some of them give me different results? out of the 3 I've tried 2 of them gave me only 3 hearts and one gave me 5. doesn't seem to make sense. would appreciate any guidance.

To make a 20 heart wolf, you need to train it in Hyrule Warriors. I'm guessing the amiibo dumps didn't properly dump metadata stored on it, or emuiibo is overwriting it with the hard-coded data. My guess, not really sure. (The same issue occurs in cemu too.)

Same .bin written on nfc tag gives me 20 hearts and only 3 in cemu. Will test using emuiibo
