[WIP] Wumiibo- Amiibo Emulation for 3ds

Cool stuff! I just tested it with Metroid Samus Returns on my N3DS and after some trial and error I got it to work. My only issue is that the Samus Aran amiibo gets recognized as the Samus (Smash Bros.) amiibo, meaning it unlocks a missile container when it should actually unlock an aeion container. Maybe I made a mistake somewhere but I tried it multiple times with no success.

Not sure if it helps but here is the log:

Code:

Oh and btw the GUI is totally fine for what it does

 

Looks pretty cool

 

Good work! I surprised something like this wasn't made years ago.

I wonder if it would be possible to do away with the client entirely, have the Amiibo bins stored on the 3DS, and select them directly from Rosalina?

 

How would it work without Rosalina? A separate plugin like cheats used to be?

I'm sure the client-server thing has lots of advantages, but it would be great to also have the option of Amiibo emulation without a separate device or WiFi.

 

nice, I'll keep an eye out.

 

Tested Mario Party Star Rush's Dr. Mario amiibo functionality. It successfully unlocked the song on Rhythm Recital, no errors of any kind

 

Was this unusually difficult? I'm just wondering if there's something in particular that stopped people from making something like this until now.

 

It will be even more fun if you could add some kind of physical aspect to this, like replace amiibos with qr-codes (even if you still need to copy amiibo bins on to the console sd card. Or maybe info from amiibo nfc-chip can fit into qr-code). You press key combo -> qr-code reader popup -> you scan qr-code.
Plus of this approach is that you don't need quite expensive nfc-tokens, but you still can make/have custom physical amiibo cards.

 

Based on this amiibo can fit into a low error correcting version 11 QR-code (300 bytes). Looks like it's not that dense
Here is example from that site:
Googled, now I know that 0x214 bytes means 532 bytes and not 214 bytes...

UPD: Tried random amiibo (540 bytes, 8 bytes were 0) in random qr-code generator. Qr-code is pretty dense
Don't know if 3DS can handle such qr-code.

Spoiler: test

UPD2: Looked at clothes qr-codes from Animal Crossing New Leaf I made 2 years ago. 3DS should be able to handle this size of QR-codes.

 

Is this compatible with games that write data to the amiibo? (e.g. smash)

 

I tried with Hyrule Warriors Legends. It works. I have an O3DS

 

I tested some games using an O3DS here are the results
Luigi's Mansion: Works(Used Luigi and Mario Amiibo)
Shovel Knigh: Works(Used Shovel Knight Amiibo)
Kirby's Epic Yarn: Works(Used Kirby Amiibo)
Yoshi's Woolly World & Poochy: Works(Used Link Amiibo)
Animal Crossing New Leaf: Works(as Reported)
Kirby's Planet Robobot: Works(Used MetaKnight and Bandana Dee Amiibo)
Super Smash Bros 3DS: Doesn't work(Black screen with music playing)
the main problem i found is that you need to restart the app and the game each time you need to scan an amiibo
