* '''Parameter names with leading numbers''': Nintendo sometimes starts parameter structure names with numbers. aamptool converts structures into XML tags; however leading numbers in tag names are explicitly disallowed by the XML specification. As a result files with such nodes cannot be converted back from XML into AAMP correctly. aamptool will either crash or fail to convert the affected parameter nodes.

* '''Incomplete parameter type support''': Esoteric parameter types such as curves and buffers are not supported. This is problematic because a conversion into XML will only keep one byte of the original data, leading to data loss when converting back to AAMP.

* '''Parameter lists''': aamptool currently assumes that all parameter lists (which it calls root nodes) are stored contiguously. This is however not necessarily true. In practice, this is unlikely to be an issue with Nintendo-produced documents.
