[RELEASE] re_nfpii - Amiibo emulation

[Lynx64]

Thanks for making this, it's awesome! Tried it first with MK8. It's a shame you can't find a way to make it work in conjunction with actual figures.

Version 0.2.0​

Changelog:

• The Amiibo browser has been updated to visually blend in with the plugin configuration menu.
• The Amiibo browser now supports browsing subfolders.
  Folders in the re_nfpii folder starting with a Title ID (without the -) will be automatically opened for that game (for example a folder named 0005000010144F00 - Smash Bros would automatically open for Smash Bros USA).
• A log viewer has been added to the configuration menu to show error messages.
• The maximum "remove after" time has been increased to 10 seconds for games like Mario Party 10.

It would be crazy to put your phone on the gamepad

GaryOderNichts, Is it possible to make a folder system?
So it would be possible to separate bin files by categories

Thanks for update. You are the best

Version 0.2.1​

• The title ID prefix of folders is now case-insensitive (Thanks @Vague Rant).

Works with Skylanders?

Works with Skylanders?

No, skylanders are not amiibos.

Just tried it and it works great. The integration of the white color menu makes it feel more natural than more code like before. The only thing I would ask for is an option to take the Amiibo off? Like in the Settings or (at the top of?) the Select Amiibo menu? Either way, thank you so much dude.

What do you mean by "take the Amiibo off" exactly? Disabling emulation acts like removing the amiibo from the reader.

Oh I see now. Yeah that should work then. I also forgot to mention that my settings are set to not remove it after a set timer. Great man. The best mods I have on any of my consoles are on my Wii U. Thanks to you all!

Aww, that stinks. Maybe someone'll make an Aroma plugin for Skylander emulation someday.

 

[Mr_Hif]

Anyone else having issues since updating to the latest aroma?
Everything was working fine but now after selecting an amiibo, setting the timer to 0.5 and enabling emulation, nothing happens.
Emulation enabled stays on and no errors are present.
Don’t know if it’s related to the latest aroma or just a coincidence?

Update. Seems to be working fine now

Everything's fine for me.

Version 0.2.2​

Changelog:

• Fixes an issue where NFCGetTagInfo would always fail if nn_nfp was not initialized. This fixes Pokemon Rumble U.

 

[GaryOderNichts]

Version 0.3.0​

Changelog:

• Amiibo figures can now be dumped to the SD Card using the "Dump Amiibo" option in the configuration menu.
• Amiibo can now be marked as favorites either on a global or per-title basis. Favorites can then be cycled through using a user-defined button combination.

Hey, Gary! Will you eventually make it so that you can use both official figures and saved ones on the sd card? When I tried to disable nfpii by removing the files, the wii u stopped reading the cfw altogether.

No, skylanders are not amiibos.

DK and Bowser are Skylanders and amiibos (Same NFC technology) Skylanders should be added as a separate version that emulated the portal of power with Skylanders on including traps,trophies (superchargers), world unlocks and pets (That one dragonfly) support. Shouldn't be too hard to create from the source code of re_nfpii

This is not true, Skylanders and amiibo are not using the same technology.
The Hammer Slam Bowser and Turbo Charge Donkey Kong figures work by having two separate modes, which you can switch by twisting the base of the figure.
Skylanders are ISO/IEC 14443 while amiibo are NFC Forum Type 2 Tags (which are loosely based on ISO/IEC 14443, but not compatible at all).

re_nfpii emulates an amiibo specific API (nn_nfp), there's no way this can work with Skylanders.

Ok, would you need to completely change the code for Skylanders?

It would need to be an entirely different plugin which emulates the Skylanders portal connected via USB.

I do hope someday someone could make something like that. If I recall correctly, CEMU has a way of using Skylander figure dumps to make the games think one is connected, and obviously it would take a ton of effort to create something similar as an Aroma plugin, but it's not outside the realm of possibility.
