Before You Begin

This guide will will try to explain things as clearly as possible, but make some assumptions about your environment and your familiarity with the operating system. Most notably, that you are familiar with the basic operations of your PC (how to download files, how to extract them, etc.)

<aside> 💡

NOTE: Eden currently only supports Amiibo in the .bin format - not .nfc

<aside> 🚨

WARNING: These guides assume that you already have the necessary files (firmware, keys, games, etc.) to run the emulator. Neither the Eden Team nor Their Discord will assist you in obtaining these files. Asking for these files on the Discord may result in a ban from the server without support or chance to appeal.

Pre-Requisites

  1. The Eden Emulator fully set up and configured.
  2. The Amiibo file you want to use.

Steps

  1. Launch Eden and launch the game you want to load Amiibo for.

TIP: You must be in-game before you can emulate scanning an Amiibo

</aside>

  1. Navigate to the Amiibo section of the game. The method for initiating the scanning varies from game to game, for Captain Toad’s Treasure Tracker, you need to go to the press the + button when on the level select. You will need to look up how to do so with your specific game.

  2. Upon activating the Amiibo scan functionality, you should get a Scan page. Eden is now looking for an Amiibo file to be loaded, which emulates scanning an Amiibo on actual hardware.
