Usage

Generating amiibo

  1. Power on your console
  2. Launch Wumiibo from the HOME Menu
  3. Select "Generate amiibos for game"
  4. Select a game from the list and then select an amiibo to generate
  5. 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

  1. Select HOME Menu Settings by tapping on the wrench icon in the top left
  2. Scroll down and tap on "amiibo Settings"
  3. Select "Register Owner and Nickname"
  4. Press L+↓+START to open the Wumiibo Menu
  5. Select Select a figure. -> <TitleID> -> <amiibo name>.bin
  6. Fill in the required details and press Y to save
  7. Wait for the amiibo to save and then press L+↓+START to open the Wumiibo Menu again
  8. Select Force Stop Emulation.
    • Repeat steps 3 through 8 for the rest of the amiibo you want to register

Using amiibo in games

  1. Launch an amiibo compatible game and navigate to the screen that asks you to place your amiibo on the screen
  2. Press L+↓+START to open the Wumiibo Menu
  3. Select Select a figure. -> <TitleID> -> <amiibo name>.bin
  4. The amiibo will now be emulated, and act as though its always "on" the nfc reader
  5. If the game asks to remove the amiibo, relaunch the Wumiibo Menu and select Force Stop Emulation.

Using real figurines

Wumiibo doesn't work with real figurines, toggle Wumiibo off in order to use them again

  1. Launch Wumiibo from the HOME Menu
  2. Select Toggle Wumiibo State
  3. Press 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)
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 to toggle Wumiibo back on

Configuration

Config file

Wumiibo may be configured with a config file placed at sd:/wumiibo.ini. 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 R+↓+START can be found here.

SD file layout

  • SD card icon (root)
    • Folder icon luma
      • Folder icon sysmodules
        • File icon 0004013000004002.cxi (wumiibo enabled)
        • File icon wumiibo.cxi (wumiibo disabled)
    • Folder icon wumiibo
      • Folder icon <title ID>
        • File icon <amiibo name>.bin
    • File icon wumiibo.ini

Troubleshooting

Workaround for freezing games

If the game freezes or lags when trying to scan amiibo, try the following workaround:

  1. Navigate to the screen that asks you to place your amiibo on the screen
  2. Press HOME to suspend the game
  3. Press L+↓+START to open the Wumiibo Menu and select your amiibo
  4. Reopen the suspended game

Conflicting Wumiibo versions

With the release of Wumiibo 4.2, Wumiibo has been updated to use CXI-based patching introduced in Luma3DS 13.0, this means you may have two versions of Wumiibo installed to your system:

  • If you've installed Wumiibo previously, delete the 0004013000004002 folder in sd:/luma/titles/
