'''Wumiibo''' is a rewrite of the 3DS' NFC module, that allow for the emulation of amiibo. As Wumiibo does not actually use the NFC hardware, this allows it to work on "old" 3DS family consoles, or consoles with Wireless Communication turned off or disabled.

==Usage==
===Generating amiibo===
# Power on your console
# Launch '''Wumiibo''' from the HOME Menu
# Select "'''Generate amiibos for game'''"
# Select a game from the list and then select an amiibo to generate
# The amiibo will be generated and is now ready to be used

===Registering amiibo===
''This section is not necessary for all games, but is recommended for full compatibility''
# Select HOME Menu Settings by tapping on the wrench icon in the top left
# Scroll down and tap on "'''amiibo Settings'''"
# Select "'''Register Owner and Nickname'''"
# Press {{B|L|DOWN|START}} to open the '''Wumiibo Menu'''
# Select <code>Select a figure.</code> -> <code><TitleID></code> -> <code><amiibo name>.bin</code>
# Fill in the required details and press {{B|Y}} to save
# Wait for the amiibo to save and then press {{B|L|DOWN|START}} to open the '''Wumiibo Menu''' again
# Select <code>Force Stop Emulation.</code>
#* Repeat steps 3 through 8 for the rest of the amiibo you want to register

===Using amiibo in games===
# Launch an amiibo compatible game and navigate to the screen that asks you to place your amiibo on the screen
# Press {{B|L|DOWN|START}} to open the '''Wumiibo Menu'''
# Select <code>Select a figure.</code> -> <code><TitleID></code> -> <code><amiibo name>.bin</code>
# The amiibo will now be emulated, and act as though its always "''on''" the nfc reader
# If the game asks to remove the amiibo, relaunch the '''Wumiibo Menu''' and select <code>Force Stop Emulation.</code>

===Using real figurines===
Wumiibo doesn't work with real figurines, toggle Wumiibo off in order to use them again
# Launch '''Wumiibo''' from the HOME Menu
# Select <code>Toggle Wumiibo State</code>
# Press {{B|B}} to reboot
#* If disabling doesn't work make sure you don't have 2 versions of Wumiibo installed (see "Conflicting Wumiibo versions" in the troubleshooting section)
# Repeat steps 1-3 to toggle Wumiibo back on

==Configuration==
===Config file===
Wumiibo may be configured with a config file placed at <code>sd:/wumiibo.ini</code>. This can be used to change the button combo needed to open the Wumiibo Menu, or turn on debug mode. A sample config with the button combo set to {{B|R|DOWN|START}} can be found {{GitHub|hax0kartik/wumiibo/blob/v4.2/wumiibo.ini|here}}.

===SD file layout===
{{Tree list}}
* {{Tree icon|sd}} (root)
** {{Tree icon|d}} luma
*** {{Tree icon|d}} sysmodules
**** {{Tree icon|f}} 0004013000004002.cxi
** {{Tree icon|d}} wumiibo
*** {{Tree icon|d}} <title ID>
**** {{Tree icon|f}} <amiibo name>.bin
**{{Tree icon|f}} wumiibo.ini
{{Tree list/end}}

==Troubleshooting==
===Workaround for freezing games===
If the game freezes or lags when trying to scan amiibo, try the following workaround:
# Navigate to the screen that asks you to place your amiibo on the screen
# Press {{B|HOME}} to suspend the game
# Press {{B|L|DOWN|START}} to open the '''Wumiibo Menu''' and select your amiibo
# Reopen the suspended game

===Conflicting Wumiibo versions===
With the release of {{GitHub|hax0kartik/wumiibo/releases/tag/v4.2|Wumiibo 4.2}}, Wumiibo has been updated to use CXI-based patching introduced in {{GitHub|LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/tag/v13.0|Luma3DS 13.0}}, this means you may have two versions of Wumiibo installed to your system:
* If you've installed Wumiibo previously, delete the <code>0004013000004002</code> folder in <code>sd:/luma/titles/</code>
