Wumiibo is a Amiibo Emulation for 3DS. This is a rewrite of the 3DS's nfc module to enable amiibo emulation.

Installation

You need to have the latest Luma3DS for this to work correctly.

WumiiboHelper

WumiiboHelper is a homebrew application that helps you download and install wumiibo.
(CIA) Install WumiiboHelper on the Home menu with FBI.
Run WumiiboHelper and select Download Wumiibo to download and install wumiibo (once installed use the second option to generate amiibos).
The second option Generate amiibos for a game can produce compatible amiibos for a compatible game right from your 3DS.
The third option Toggle Amiibo State can enable/disable wumiibo without turning off game patching.

Installing manually

Put the 0004013000004002 folder in luma/titles/.
Download the amiibo you want to emulate from here. All this website does is produce a bin file with amiiboID in it, so the produced file can be shared freely.
Put the downloaded bins in a folder and put that folder in sd:/wumiibo. You can also place the bins directly inside sd:/wumiibo. You can have upto 49 folders and inside every folder you can have more subfolders. So if you sort your bins correctly, there is no limit on how many amiibos you can have at a time.
Enable Title patching from luma menu (as shown here).
Open your game and reach to the screen where it tells you to place your amiibo.
Press L+Down+Start to bring up Wumiibo Menu and select the amiibo you wish to emulate.
If everything went successfully, your amiibo should be emulated now. If you want to use your real amiibos, you'll need to disable wumiibo by disabling game patching from luma menu.

User guide

v2.0 2020/09/25

Proper UID assignment and UID Randomization has been added.
- Wumiibo no longer uses a hardcoded UID for every amiibo. It automatically assigns a new UID to every amiibo.
- Some games limit users to only one scan of a specific amiibo per 24 hours. By randomizing an amiibo's UID you can overcome this limit.
- Note: This depends on the game's logic, and may not work with every title.
Default wumiibo menu button can now be overridden.
- This can be done by creating a wumiibo.ini file on the root of your sd card. A sample of this file is here.
DirectoryLister code has been improved.
- You can now have upto 49 folders within the wumiibo folder. Inside every folder you can have even more subfolders or amiibos. So if you create your folders properly, there is virtually no limit on how many amiibos you can have at a time.
- As a bonus feature, if you want to have a dedicated folder for a game, you can give a folder the game's TitleID and put all relevant amiibos in there. For example, for Super Smash Bros EUR, you can create a folder sd:/wumiibo/00040000000EE000 and put the amiibos in there. Wumiibo will automatically open this folder in-game.
Various bugs have been fixed and minor improvements have been made.
