It should be the 1.4.0 release in your switch. i probably forgot to update the makefile, thats it.
Will be fixed with the next release. Thank you
Thanks Buddy. I know it should be 1.4.0 which is the one I have downloaded so im guessing like you said its the Makefile.

Thank you for your work btw

I prefer Amiigo since it can generate them offline (you need to connect only once to the internet) on your switch rather than needing a PC.
That doesnt make much sense, as with this tool you also only need (you dont even need to if you get the json file yourself) to connect once to the internet. I could include the database (which i didnt because it will get outdated at one point anyway), which would then remove the need to connect to the internet even once.

so i have measured the height of amiibo thumbnail window in emuiibo and it is 125px. since emuiibo supports only image downscaling (not upscaling) maybe it is a good idea to make images even smaller (130px height or even exact 125px). this should greatly improve loading times of big folders (animal crossing) ?

I was certain that this is not how it works (as said before) and just checked the source code to be 100% sure. Amiibo images are not loaded when you click on Animal crossing for example. They are loaded only when needed, eg when "selecting/hovering over an amiibo". Changing their dimensions or size has absolutly no further effect.

The time it takes to load the amiibos is purley because of the amount of amiibos in that folder. The overlay loops through all subfolders (the actual amiibo) and reads their name from the json file. That takes some time and the overlay will only continue and let you select amiibos once thats done.

https://github.com/XorTroll/emuiibo/blob/master/overlay/source/Main.cpp#L654

That code block gets run every "update", which can happen at any time the gui needs to reload. It gets the currently focused amiibo and calls "setCurrentAmiiboPath" on it. In that function, it loads the amiibo image (here is the code).


TLDR: Changing the image size has no effect. The only way you can make it faster is to delete amiibo, split them into multiple subgroups or overclock your switch.

Any performance gain you saw is either non-existend, due to you chosing different folders with different amounts of amiibos in it (maybe on accident) or due to the consoles cpu cores not having much other work to do.

I got this on hombrew and it work very well until I tried downloading them with images, then some of the amiibo files just had a file in them that was called areas and the amiibo would not work

sorry @BADATMODDING & @Soler37 ,
ive had some stuff come up in my life.
not sure what causes this as i can not replicate it but as soon as i can work at it again, the gui version (2.0) should eliminate all problems and add more features.


Does Emuiibo really not work on ExFAT?
NEVER use exfat.

I've been using the ExFAT format for years and I never had any issues with it.
No, you mean you didn't notice any issues yet. I was once as ignorant as you until it blew my card. It will come, sooner or later - you are not an exception. Once you notice shit going down, its already way too late.

Easily the best new homebrew app and I am looking forward to see further improvements.

Maybe change this thread title to "Amiibo Generator" ?
More people should find about this!

For Image quality: It is strictly better to go directly 125px.

Any other method, including current, would be resizing the same image 2 times.
(the second time is done via emuiibo which is not controlled via this app )

Performance wise, I have not idea but author's reply is interesting to read :)

I would love some assistance, after installing all amiibos with images through the generater, I loaded up BOTW and was in the menu for about 3 minutes before atmopshere crashed and threw out the infamous message:
1678726839566.png

This means I need to delete this folder right? then how can I use this tool?
