Hi everyone!

I noticed there was a project called switch-nfp-mitm, which had lots of forks, but none of them properly working (people reported it barely worked, and with some games), thus I decided to try to fix it, or to improve it as much as I could. Well, the results were that good, that I've just managed to get it working perfectly, even with a nice system of combos for Amiibo swapping, in just 2 days.

So, well, here's the result:

emuiibo

emuiibo is a background process (and service) which Nintendo Switch's internal NFC (NFP) services to support virtual amiibo emulation.

For more detailed information, check emuiibo's GitHub repository: https://github.com/XorTroll/emuiibo
Releases: https://github.com/XorTroll/emuiibo/releases/latest

Have fun with custom virtual amiibos!

I have not done it my self but from what I can surmise you need a Wolf link.bin file , retail_key.bin and Amiitool.

You can use Amiitool with cmd and input :

amiitool -d -k key_retail.bin -i wolf_in.bin -o wolf_out.bin
dd if=wolf_out.bin of=0x1019C800.bin skip=220 count=216 bs=1

that will generate 0x1019C800.bin
copy 0x1019C800.bin into the folder of your wolf virtual amiibo.

dude ur the fuckn goat, went thru recovery email and everything to get back on this old ass account to thank u lmfao

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

To follow up, I attempted this using exactly the commands you posted, and it works! A few notes for anyone else who wants to try:

- I used dd for windows (0.6 beta3), and still had no issues
- The 0x1019C800.bin file goes in the amiibo areas sub-directory (as noted in emuiibo readme, this is where save data is stored). For example, I placed the file in 'sd\emuiibo\amiibo\The Legend of Zelda\Midna & Wolf - Link - 20 hearts\areas'
- I turned on amiibo emulation and selected the amiibo before launching the game

Thanks so much!

tks for the tip with DD i didn't know wut the hell it was lmfao

Glad you got it working !

 

[uzimakiuchiha]

Glad you got it working !

That command just generated a wolf_out.bin, I didn't get the other bin to put in the save directory, any way to fix that?

 

[Paza]

Anyone know which emutool to download for virtual Amiibo?

 

[Manu738]

Anyone else problems with Atmo 0.12.0, Tesla not working?

 

[shanefromoz]

Does this work with bin files?

@XorTroll does the latest Emuiibo work with atmos 0.14.1? I’ve been on HOS 9.1.0 for a long while and decided to fully update everything this weekend. Everything is working fully except Emuiibo, it crashes atmos. It could be me but wanted to confirm before starting over.
Setup:
Emummc on 10.1.0
Atmosphere 0.141
Fusee-primary
Latest fusee-primary patches


thanks in advance and your contribution to the scene!!

Edit: checked out your Discord and I see your working on this known issue. Thanks again!

I wish I had found this a few hours ago. I thought for sure something was up on my end so I started to reload everything 1 by 1.

Might be worth noting on the current release that this isn't compatible with 0.14.1. I went to the release tab and saw "this is nothing more than a quick update in order to support latest CFW" and though, fuck it's gotta be me now what the hell did I do.

Never noticed the release date was a little bit before 0.14.1 came out...

If you really want Emuiibo and don’t feel like waiting for an update. It is my understanding (but don’t quote me on this) that Atmosphere 0.13.0 works on FW 10.1.0 and Emuiibo works on Atmosphere 0.13.0 so everything should work. I personally don’t use amiibos a whole lot so I can’t confirm since I’m gust going to wait for the update. Especially since my wife got me an Oculus Quest for my bday and I’ve been loggin hours on that. Switch hasn’t been touched for several days at this point!

Is there a way to do this in Mac OS? I gather the dd thing is possible to do in terminal without installing anything. The GitHub itself mentions terminal, but I don't have any idea how to point terminal to use amiitool. How do I that?

Update: I cloned the git using this code

git clone [url of the amiitool from github]

, but terminal spits out

-bash: amiitool: command not found

Found out Emuiibo v0.5.1 only works with Atmosphere v0.13.0 (probably lower ones too). It crashes Atmosphere v0.14.0 & onwards.

 

[jjjexorcist]

Does it work for sxos 3.0.4?

 

[Krude]

I think this needs an update.
Since i got onto FW 10.0.2 and Atmo 0.14.4, I've had problems with some unrelated homebrew crashing in weird circumstances, and i can't start BotW at all anymore. I get stuck on an endless loading screen with the animated Nintendo Switch logo in the lower right.
Both of these issues go away once i delete emuiibo, and return if i put it back on.

 

[burhansalih]

Yes its dead you need an update but i wouldnt hold my breath i dont think the dev cares much anymore

There's a beta currently availible on the discord that seems to work just fine.

Go check it out! https://github.com/XorTroll/emuiibo/releases/tag/0.6

Thank you so much for the hard work! No crashes on the latest Atmos version so far....unfortunately it doesn't work on Link's Awakening. Nothing happened when I connect/disconnect any Amiibo. Overlay is saying "Current game is intercepted by emuiibo" so I guess that it should work but it doesn't :/ Can anyone else confirm this?

Edit:
Nvm - it does work. I tried it again and now it is working flawlessly!

 

[thaikhoa]

Kirby doesnt work at all, pro controller > no amiibo function detected
"Current game is intercepted by emuiibo"

 

[thaikhoa]

Oh just I've figured out that emuiibo works only with joycon.

 

[DarknessPlay3r]

I've been using the previous version with a pro controller for a while now. I'll have to update and see but it *should* work with a pro controller.
