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

  2. Scroll down and tap on "amiibo Settings"
  3. Select "Register Owner and Nickname"

  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 3-8 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.

Troubleshooting

Workaround for freezing games - If the game freezes or lags when trying to scan amiibo, do the following:

  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

Using real figurines - Wumiibo doesn't work with real figurines, in order to use your physical amiibo again, do the following:

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

Conflicting Wumiibo versions - As of v4.2, Wumiibo has switched to a .CXI sysmodule supporting Luma3DS 13.0+:

  • If you've installed Wumiibo previously, delete the 0004013000004002 folder in sd:/luma/titles/
  • If you're unable to update to Luma3DS 13.0+, install a Wumiibo v4.1 instead
    • copy the 0004013000004002 folder to sd:/luma/titles/

Alternate menu combo - If one of your consoles buttons are broken download an alternate combo here:

  • Copy wumiibo.ini to the root of your SD card
    • This will change the combo to open the Wumiibo Menu to R++START
    • You can edit wumiibo.ini in a text editor to change this combo
