A homebrew that generates all amiibos by downloading information from an api and converting it into a format that emuiibo can understand. It needs internet to download the amiibo database. Though you can download it manually and place it in sdmc:/emuiibo/amiibos.json.
The homebrew does not generate amiibo.bin dumps and does not contain anything stolen from Nintendo. It only generates json files that emuiibo can use. They are exactly the same ones than the ones generated by the PC tool emutool.
Downloading amiibos with images will take a while. The tool automatically resizes them for space & speed and converts RGB to RGBA if nessesary.
Installation
Place the .nro to the /switch/ folder on the SD card.
User guide
The images you can download are resized to a height of 150px (width is resized according to aspect ratio) and if the images are missing an alpha-channel, that is generated too so all images can be displayed correctly in the emuiibo overlay. This will also shrink overall file size and speed up the overlay.
Before generating new amiibos, it will delete the old ones for combability reasons. It does it by checking for an "autogenerated.flag" file inside the amiibo folder. Your custom amiibos should not have that flag file and thus wont get deleted. Also, if for whatever miracle reason you should use the same folder structure than this tool, it also wont overwrite your amiibos.
Note: On version 1.4.0 you might need to manually delete the amiibos, you could use 1.3.0 to delete them (see changelog).

Changelog
v1.4.0 2022/10/26
- Fixed an issue where custom created amiibos were deleted.
- AmiiboGenerator will create an "autogenerated.flag" file inside the amiibo folder and only delete amiibos with that flag file.
- If you want to keep an autogenerated amiibo, remove that file.
- Because all amiibos will be deleted before generating new ones, if you create a folder structure that the tool wants to use too, it will skip generating/overwriting the files. Very unlikely but better safe than sorry.
- Fixed an issue with an Animal Crossing Amiibo where the slash in its name would create an unexpected folder structure.
- Due to the new update, you might need to manually delete the amiibos, as they lack the "autogenerated.flag" file and wont be deleted or overwritten by the new version of the tool. You could delete all amiibos with 1.3.0, update and then generate them again.
- This release shows as 1.3.0 on your switch.
v1.3.0 2022/10/25
- Allows you to manually delete all Amiibos.
- Force deletes all Amiibos for compability before generating new ones.
- Fixed possible issue where amiibos could generate with a different id, thus creating the same Amiibo twice on the sdcard. This has been (hopefully) fixed by using the Amiibo id (consisting of "head" and "tail" id) as suffix instead of the "count number" as prefix. This change is also the reason for the force delete before generating new ones.
v1.2.0 2022/10/25
- Downloaded Amiibo images will now be auto resized to a height of 150px (and width in aspect ratio). This will help with the fluidity inside the overlay and reduce overall filesize.
- Downloaded Amiibo images without an alpha-channel will be converted to RGBA, to be able to display correctly in the overlay.
v1.1.0 2022/10/23
- Added the option to download amiibo images (very slow) and redid the "menu".
v1.0.0 2022/10/23
- First release.
