Amiigo – 2.4.1: Amiibo name bug fix

🚨 Amiigo v2.4.1 is LIVE! 🚨

Big fix for a sneaky bug: Amiibo names in v2.4.0 were saved as byte arrays instead of strings — oops! 🐞

If you created any Amiibos in v2.4.0, they’re broken… but don’t panic! Just re-export them in v2.4.1 and you’re good to go. ✅

All Amiibos from v2.3.x and earlier? Still perfect — no need to touch those!

✨ What’s new:

• Fixed JSON name field corruption
• Smoother UI, stable as ever
• Still works with Emuiibo + X-button activation
• Full handheld support (touch, D-pad, analog — you pick!)

No AmiiboAPI? No problem. Local data rules now.

Grab the update, re-export your favorites, and keep those virtual Amiibos rolling! 🎮💙

No flashy new features—just clean, reliable input. Perfect for tinkerers who hate input glitches mid-session.
