In-Game Operation
Enter Game: Open a game that supports Amiibo.
Enable Amiibo Function: Most games require you to turn on the "Use Amiibo" option in the settings menu.
For example, in "Zelda", hold down the L button to call out the wheel, select the Amiibo icon, and a white circle of light will appear on the ground.
Placement Position: Place the NFC Tool near the Switch's NFC detection area:
Joy-Con Controller: Place it above the right stick.
Pro Controller: Place it directly above the center of the controller (usually at the Logo).
Reading: Please keep the emulator on your selected tab until a prompt appears in the game.
Special Note:
If you want to scan the same amiibo multiple times in one day (some games limit it to once a day), turn on the Auto UID function to achieve unlimited consecutive scans. (Press the Confirm button again on the tag scannable status page to toggle.)
For games that write data back to the tag (such as Super Smash Bros. or Splatoon), it is highly recommended to save the tag to Data Slots before use. This permanently locks the UID to prevent save errors.
Steps:
Select the tag you want to scan.
Press the OK button to open the Tag Options menu.
Select "Save As" and save it to a blank slot.
Once saved, always load this tag from "Data Slots". Tags launched from here will always maintain the exact same UID.
Settings Menu:
Most users shouldn't need this, as this feature has nothing to do with amiibo emulation.
