Add section for Amiibo emulation on console via homebrew
Various collectibles and figurines designed to be used as add-ons to maximize sales for greedy game companiesmostly first-party Nintendo games, and their emulation support.
==Nintendo Amiibo==
An Amiibo is a small figurine produced by Nintendo, which stores and relays various information for related video games via near -field communication (NFC). It was supported on the [[Wii U emulators|Wii U]] and the [[Nintendo_Switch_emulators|Nintendo Switch]], as well as the [[Nintendo 3DS emulators|Nintendo 3DS]] (natively on new 3DS, with an add-on peripheral on old models).
The figurine had some unique data about its type, sometimes some user save-data, but its size is too small to hold any true add-on game content. When read by the game during in-game prompts, it would unlock various bonuses and content already on the disc (just like on-disc DLC), depending on the figurine's type and various other conditions.

* [[Cemu]] has partial Amiibo support. While Amiibo dumps (.bin) can be loaded and read in-game to trigger their appropriate effects, they can't be written back to. This affects, for example, the Wolf Link figurine, that's supposed to store the number of hearts for Link from Twilight Princess HD's save file, and summon in Breath of the Wild a wolf with as much HP. With the way Cemu's implementation is, this never happens and the summon only has a default of 3 hearts. Nevertheless, this can be circumvented by writing to the Amiibo on real Wii U hardware, dumping it, then using that dump with BoTW.
* [[yuzu]] added Amiibo support. It can do the reading part, but it's yet to be known if it can do the write writing part.
* [[Citra]] added Amiibo support in late 2018. <ref>[https://twitter.com/citraemu/status/1064927217807958016 Citra - Announcing amiibo support] (November 20, 2018)</ref>
* No 3DS to date has a functional software implementation.
* 3DS custom firmware has an app that can load Amiibo in software, but it's buggy and has limited compatibility (SSB4 3DS), and no longer under development.
