emuiibo v0.2 released
@XorTroll's amiibo MitM and emulation sysmodule for the Switch just received a rather hefty update! With it, we've also got a quick announcement for an upcoming (and related) feature for Goldleaf, so read on if you want to know about both!
First and foremost, emuiibo v0.2 uses a new format to store data on the microSD card. You won't have to worry about incompatibilities, however, as the homebrew will convert any of the old BIN files automatically upon startup. The new format brings several improvements compared to the old one, as every emulated amiibo gets its own directory with separate contents and a JSON file containing metadata inside. This makes editing your dump's data much easier: for example, one can now edit the JSON with a text editor to change an amiibo's name, its first/last write date or swap its associated Mii painlessly! Talking about Miis, emuiibo will also dump their char-info data on startup, so swapping an emulated amiibo's with your own is as easy as copying a single file.
If you play a game which gives you a bonus for every different amiibo you own, then you may be interested in this next function: by adding a "randomizeUuid" field to the JSON file and setting it to true, you can tell emuiibo to randomize a dump's unique ID every time it's loaded. By doing so, you can trick said games into giving you that bonus forever, as they'll think you're reading a different figure each time!
Additionally, emuiibo is now able to emulate and store progress saved in amiibos too. This is used by some games such as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and the new format is also able to enhance this feature, as a real amiibo will only be able to store just one save, while this will allow you to have many for each figure. Last, but not least, the HOME button will now blink whenever you input a button combination to trigger one of the sysmodule's features (for example, when pressing the right stick + up/down to enable/disable it).
@XorTroll has also announced that Goldleaf's next version will support amiibo dumping using the previously mentioned new format, so you'll be able to store and emulate your own figures with ease! As usual, you can read the full changelog below:
Changelog said:
Emuiibo is compatible with both Atmosphère and ReiNX. However, some users have reported crashes at boot with the former: if this happens to you, create an "emuiibo" folder on the root of your microSD card if it doesn't exist and reboot your console.
