Some games might ask you to remove the amiibo after saving data, so you must disconnect the virtual amiibo to 'simulate' that removal. When it is disconnected, it means that you 'removed' it, as if you just removed the amiibo from the NFC point.

Virtual amiibo status (connected/disconnected): when the active virtual amiibo is connected, it means that the amiibo is always 'placed', as if you were holding a real amiibo on the NFC point and never moving it - the game always detects it. Via tools such as the overlay, one can change the active virtual amiibo. This is basically a toggle to globally disable or enable amiibo emulation.Īctive virtual amiibo: it's the amiibo which will be sent to the games which try to scan amiibos, if emulation is on. When it's off, it means that amiibo services will work normally, and nothing will be intercepted. Format is sd:/emuiibo/miis/ - /mii-charinfo.bin.Įmulation status (on/off): when emuiibo's emulation status is on, it means that any game trying to access/read amiibos will be intercepted by emuiibo. If you would like to disable a virtual amiibo from being recognised by emuiibo, just remove the flag file, and create it again to enable it.Įvery time the console is booted, emuiibo saves all the miis inside the console to the SD card. However, categories are supported by placing amiibos inside sub-directories (only inside a directory, like 3DS menu categories inside categories are not supported) - for instance: sd:/emuiibo/amiibo/SSBU/Yoshi would be a Yoshi amiibo inside SSBU category.Ī virtual amiibo is detected by emuiibo based on two aspects: a amiibo.json and a amiibo.flag file must exist inside the virtual amiibo's folder mentioned above.

For instance, an amiibo named MyMario would be sd:/emuiibo/amiibo/MyMario/. Virtual amiibos go inside sd:/emuiibo/amiibo.
