Codejunkies

Codejunkies is a UK-based peripheral and utility developer best known for creating console-focused hardware and companion software that unlocks extra functionality in gaming devices. Its flagship offering, PowerSaves, is a Windows desktop client that interfaces with the company’s proprietary PowerSaves Portal—a small USB-connected NFC reader/writer—to back up, restore, and apply user-generated or community-shared cheat codes and enhancements to amiibo figures and other supported NFC toys. Typical use cases include duplicating rare character data, unlocking in-game items or levels without repeated physical scanning, experimenting with stat modifiers, and archiving collections before firmware updates. Because the utility is essentially a middleware layer between the portal hardware and the binary NFC tags inside each figurine, it also serves as a safe experimentation sandbox for hobbyists who want to reverse-engineer or customize toy-to-game communication without permanently altering the original figure. PowerSaves therefore sits at the intersection of gaming utilities, hobbyist development tools, and lightweight data-migration software. The publisher’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest version and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
