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.

    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
