Developer Joshua de Reeper searched for and found a solution to emulate the USB devices used in toys-to-life games , such as the Skylanders Portal of Power and Disney Infinity Base on the Nintendo Wii U console .
The developer also plans to extend support to Lego Dimensions Toypad and Kamen Rider Summonride Ride Gate .

This is a plugin, re_nsyshid , designed for the Aroma environment , a homebrew framework for the Wii U , which offers users the ability to alternate between using physical peripherals and emulated versions, eliminating the need for external hardware.
The plugin works by using the system library override technique nsyshid.rpl, which handles communication between the console and USB HID devices.
By replacing this library, the plugin intercepts signals intended for physical portals and reprocesses them to virtually emulate devices.
The user interface, which can be called up via the key combination 
+ + 
, allows you to activate or deactivate emulation and choose which portal to emulate.
The menu recalls in structure and functionality that of the re_nfpii plugin , from which it inherits parts of the code thanks to the collaboration with GaryOderNichts , author of the original project.
Usage
- Download the latest stable version.
- Copy the contents of the
.zipdownloaded archive to your destination environment. - Copy the NFC figure dumps to the directory
SD:/wiiu/re_nsyshid. - Subfolders are also supported, which can be explored from the configuration menu.
- Open the plugin configuration menu by pressing
+ + 
on the gamepad. - Enable emulation and select a device to emulate.
- Select a figure for the selected device; for example, go into Skylander Manager if you chose the Portal of Power and select a Skylander to load into a slot.
- Figures can be quickly removed from slots by hovering over the active one and pressing the key .
