I was wondering if there is an .3dsx or a .cia like JKSV to have different data backups for Amiibos??
I kinda want to use my Pink Wool Yoshi on Poochy & Yoshi's Wooly World but don't want to delete my Smash data on it.
I don't want to buy the Power Saves Amiibo thing because it's kinda pricey. Thanks!

The biggest problem with creating/distributing a .3dsx or .cia for this is that it would not only be piracy in a sense, but directly violating the NDA. Afaik, there are no current methods of utilizing NFC connection for homebrew on the 3ds.

Well actually there is this Amiibo CIA tool:

And

But it's only.for Smash which I sometimes use.
I stumbled upon this through the TitleDB tab in FBI.
But nits only works for Smash.
It's not really a "save manager".

There's plenty of libraries that use NFC for the 3DS, heck even ctrulib does. Someone just released a prototype CIA that can read and identify an amiibo based on it's character number, series and ID. Works with both n3DS and with o3DS using the base. A backup and restore utility probably wouldn't be hard to make considering the existence of amiitool. Not saying I would know how to do it but what OP is requesting is not infeasible.

@OfficialBrony So far the only backup options are PowerSaves (only $14 right now, not that expensive) or an Android app for use with phones that have NFC. If you don't have an Android phone with NFC, then PowerSaves would be cheaper.

Well actually in Canada, the Power Saves Amiibo thing is 40ish dollars. But my phone is a S5 so it has NFC.
What application would you recommend??

TagMo can dump an entire amiibo and then restore it. It doesn't do a fancy job at naming, cataloging or easily sorting your dumps but it works in a pinch. The smash editor for 3DS can dump app data (which is what you want) but by your description it only recognizes smash amiibos. I'm sure it would be possible to alter the smash cia to accept any app data dump. Could even add in the Amiibo CIA's identification capabilities.

It's not on the Play Store, you need to side load it. It's here: https://github.com/HiddenRambler/TagMo/releases
I tried out the app.
I backed up my Smash data of Yoshi and then deleted the data on my 3ds to use with Poochy & Yoshi's Wooly World and backed up that data as well.
I can't see the to restore it because I get a key error...

Ah, yes, there's a key file you need. We can't share it here since it's copywrite but google 'Amiibo retail key pastebin' and you should find it.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
