- You can download Amiibo .bin and .nfc files through AmiiboGenerator, or from the Amiibo Database repository, and load them using the Emuiibo homebrew application.
- As a result of changes made by Nintendo to firmware version 20.0.0, there is less memory available for custom system modules. It is recommended that you don't upgrade your device beyond version 18.1.0 unless necessary as versions 19.0.0 and above also have reduced memory available, although not as severe. Additionally, not all homebrew and sys-modules are compatible with these newer OFW versions; an example of this is switch-sys-tweak.
- If updating past FW 18.1.0 and using masagrator/sys-ticon to replace icons, titles, publishers or display versions, please check the README.md for details on limitations and instructions.
- Sigpatches and
prod.keysare not included in this package.
