It would be great if someone was able to make an NFC driver and a program to edit Amiibo save data. Basically what we can do already with the third party NFC readers but with less hassle and no paying extra money since you can just use the bluetooth adapter on your computer to connect a JoyCon up.

You can do it in most of android phones with nfc, no extra cost is required... and no joycon bluetooth connection nor pc...

You can do some stuff with it. But I think they could do more advanced stuff with a PC version.

Man you know that the phone van do everything the computer does? Maybe at slower rate, and in this case its not even relevant... what you want to do with the pc and you think cant be implemented on the android?

Yes but there are a lot of existing tools they could use by just making a driver that works the same way as the other NFC readers.

.... or save the time and just use the phone, faster easier cheaper and bo need to make a tool as such already exists

I'm a heavy Android supporter don't get me wrong but a lot of people don't have NFC on their phones. Most people have Bluetooth on their computer and if they don't it's like $5-$10 to get it. The current Amiibo tools on Android do not do everything that the ones on PC do and don't work on all NFC enabled phones because some phones can only read certain tags.

What does the phone apps miss that the pc has? Real question. No sarcasm

This section is for the Nintendo Switch is to be assumed they already own a Nintendo Switch if they are in this session. Why do you care so much that I want to be able to use the joycon NFC on my PC?

As far as the tools on PC there are pre made Amiibo cheats on PC and ways to correctly replace save data. Using TagMo to replace the save on an uninitialized Amiibo causes it to be corrupt and the system makes you restore it to the previous state. If there are other tools to directly edit Amiibo that aren't hex editor on Android please feel free to link me.

The Joy-Con controllers show up as standard HID, but with a few weird quirks. (I've noticed that the joystick acts like a D-pad; it only registers 8 directions.)

For proper analog, NFC, accelerometer/gyroscope, and the IR camera, there's probably some proprietary commands that need to be sent to the Joy-Con controller. Someone with the proper tools (multiple Bluetooth adapters and software to pass through commands from Joy-Con to Switch) would need to reverse-engineer these commands before they can be implemented in a driver.

Yeah it's probably harder than it sounds but I just thought I'd post the idea for those that have the expertise that would be interested in the idea.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • 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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjCivnt5t50
  • 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
     +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
