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!

Did any of the FE amiibo worked in Three Houses for someone? The message "unable to detect NFC-enabled controller" keeps popping up, after more attempts, the screen for holding the amiibo to the NFC area appears but keeps like that for a long time...

 

[thaikhoa]

This won't work on Zelda LA, screen frozen but the game's not crashed.

 

[Qwerty5555]

Does this work on fw 9.0/atmo/kosmos - botw? I put the right folders/files on the SD but any button combination within botw wont activate the amibos.

When i do the button combo the blue light of the joycon goes on.

 

[tatundria]

Can anyone please help me? I get atmosphere boot error everytime I enable emuiibo. How can I fix it? I use emuiibo 0.3.1 and I had tried disabling every other module...

clean atmosphere reinstall then.

Has anyone figured out how the per-game amiibo sets are working? The instructions aren't really clear.
I've tried multiple things but had no success so far. Putting them into a folder like sd:/emuiibo/amiibo/[titleid]/[amiiboname] doesn't do anything for example.

So, well, here's the result:

emuiibo

emuiibo is a background process (and service) which Nintendo Switch's internal NFC (NFP) services to support virtual amiibo emulation.

Usage

Download the latest release and place it on your CFW's titles folder (so it would be like <cfw>/titles/0100000000000352).

According to tests, should work on any CFW which allows NSP sysmodules (Atmosphere, ReiNX).

You also have to set the boot2 flag in the CFW's /titles directory: <cfw>/titles/0100000000000352/flags/boot2.flag.

Combos

All the input combos are performed with R-Stick pressing and pressing the D-pad in an specific direction (at the same time). Combos must (should) be done before or after the game starts looking for amiibos.

• Activate amiibo emulation: Press R-Stick (like it was a button) and also pressing the D-pad up. Toggles/untoggles emulation.
  
  
• Activate amiibo emulation once: Same as above, but pressing the D-pad right. Toggles emulation once, after emulating an amiibo then it will untoggle automatically.
  
  
• Deactivate amiibo emulation: Same as above, but pressing the D-pad down. Untoggles amiibo emulation, and should be used as a way to fully ensure it is untoggled, in case you don't know whether it's toggled or not.
  
  
• Move to next amiibo: Same as above, but pressing the D-pad left. Moves to the next amiibo in the amiibo directory, if last one starts again with the first one. Only has effect if amiibo emulation is toggled.

SD layout

• Emuiibo's directory is sd:/emuiibo.
  
  
• Amiibos go inside sd:/emuiibo/amiibo. For instance, an amiibo named MyMario would be sd:/emuiibo/amiibo/MyMario/<json files>.
  
  
• Every time the console is booted, emuiibo saves all the miis inside the console to the SD card. Format is sd:/emuiibo/miis/<index> - <name>/mii-charinfo.bin.

Amiibo emulation

Emuiibo no longer requires dumps to emulate amiibos. Instead, you can use emuGUIibo PC tool in order to generate virtual amiibos.



How do virtual amiibos work?

Virtual amiibos consist on a folder containing several JSON files.

A virtual amiibo, in order to be recognised as valid, must contain valid tag.json, register.json, common.json and model.json files. This file names were chosen according to the way the console processes amiibos, which are splitted into 4 processed data blocks (TagInfo, ModelInfo, CommonInfo and RegisterInfo).

The only relevant part of an amiibo, which identifies the type of amiibo, is the amiibo ID. Every other parameter can be emulated or isn't that relevant. The NFC UUID, present on amiibo NFC dumps, is randomly generated with virtual amiibos, since it isn't something important whatsoever.

Miis

Miis can be an issue when attempting to make emuiibo user-friendly. Since mii format is a 88-byte data block named "CharInfo" and we have no way to see char-infos rendered but in the console itself, there is no simple way to change the mii.

Important notes

If (with emuiibo activated!) the title responds with an error similar to "No controller which supports NFC was found" probably means that emuiibo failed to supply the amiibo (wrong amiibo, internal error...). That error is displayed due to limitations with real NFC error codes.

For developers

emuiibo also hosts a custom service, nfp:emu, which can be used to control amiibo emulation by IPC commands.

You have an implementation for C/C++ and libnx in here.

Goldleaf can dump Amiibos in to Virtual amiibos which work with Emuiibo. They won't work with nfc tags but you don't need nfc tags if you have a hacked switch because you can use Emuiibo (unless you want to use them on another device? But then you can just use your physical amiibo anyway since you need it to dump it).

I know just wanted another option to make my own physical tags besides Android and 3DS lol

Did any of the FE amiibo worked in Three Houses for someone? The message "unable to detect NFC-enabled controller" keeps popping up, after more attempts, the screen for holding the amiibo to the NFC area appears but keeps like that for a long time...

I'm having this same issue. Running FW 9.0.1 I just switched over to Atmosphere 0.9.4 from SX OS with no problems. Everything else runs fine. Put emuiibo v3.1 in the titles folder. Generated all the Fire Emblem character amiibos with the latest EmuGUIibo. Copied them to sd:/emuiibo/amiibo/[amiibo name]. Also have the latest fork of AmiiSwap as well.

I boot up Fire Emblem: Three Houses, head to the amiibo gazebo, select to scan for amiibo, the controller screen comes up, and then nothing. The game doesn't respond in any way to any of emuiibo's commands. Pressing the right analog stick in and hitting the directional buttons causes the home button to flash blue, indicating something is happening, but the game doesn't respond. In the AmiiSwap applet the combinations show to be working. Holding the right analog stick and pressing up on the d-buttons toggle emulation on and off, and when toggled on r-stick + left cycles through amiibos, so the sysmodule seems to be functional just not responding with the game.

When scanning for amiibo in-game, then backing out to AmiiSwap to activate emulation, then switching back to Fire Emblem I get the error that no NFC compliant controller can be detected. Doesn't matter if emulation is set to enabled continuously or simply enabled once. The game only throws the error code once. After that nothing I do with either emuiibo commands or in AmiiSwap has the game recognize the emulated amiibo in anyway.

I'm not certain what, if anything, I'm doing wrong. Emuiibo is responding to commands and AmiiSwap shows my amiibo inventory. Nothing seems to be wrong with either app but Fire Emblem still won't respond. I'm not certain what else I can do.

UPDATE: I managed to get emuiibo working but perhaps not as intended. My previously stated issue remains: Both the emuiibo commands and AmiiSwap do nothing when used while Fire Emblem is running. However if the emuiibo commands are used before launching the game then it works, but only for the amiibo initially loaded before launch. The commands and AmiiSwap still won't work after the first scan. While inconvenient it's still useful. Unfortunately AmiiSwap doesn't function the same way.

Speaking of Mario Odyssey, i also have the problem another poster mentioned before, in that special edition amiibos are not recognized. In Odyssey, a normal 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.

Same problem here. Is there a chance for the next release to fix the issue with Odyssey not recognizing special amiibos (Gold Mario, the wedding amiibos)?

I'm hoping we get a new update soon that works on 9.1+.

emuiibo v0.4 is out, fixing support with latest Atmosphere plus many other bugs, like those "not properly recognized" BotW amiibos
Go check it out: https://github.com/XorTroll/emuiibo/releases/tag/0.4

 

[GnK23]

@Xortrol where do I get the settings files for the new emuiibo? it is not inside the 0.4 release.

EDIT: I just found out it auto generates the settings inside the emuiibo folder. There is a bug that causes atmosphere to crash when the settings is set to true.

 

[leanderson2006]

My default settings.json is automatically set to false, but when I change it to true. the atmosphere breaks with error 2345-0002 (0x559) and will not start working only if i set settings.json to false.
i'm using emunand on firmware 9.1.0 atmosphere 0.10.1

Yeah, i have exact same problem ! Atmosphere crash at boot with "true" setting...

Two questions: Is there a way to use/convert actual amiibo dumps (the ones from emuiibo 0.2 ) and still have their data be retained? I ask this speicifcally because I want to use a 20-Heart Wolf Link on BotW.

 

[tatundria]

Found the solution. I have to enable them in settings.json.
Is there any chance to convert .bin files amiibos to the new format? I need to use my Wolf Link amiibo with 20 hearts that I have in .bin.
