Did my first batch of cheapo amiibo cards
Laserjet compatible business cards and google image search of black and white images.
Just slap the tag on the back and write the amiibo. Nice and cheap. Also not the nicest looking, but do the job well enough.
most are just Smash Bros. but the Kirby Robobot card is the actual kirby amiibo and not the smash one. Both unlock different copy abilities in Kirby Robobot.

DIY amiibo cards... created using blank NTAG215 tags and a little bit of dark magic :)

You need:
- a blank NTAG215 tag sticker (Shop NFC, AliExpress, ...)
- an amiibo dump (dump your own amiibo, download it, ...)
- a way to decrypt/encrypt amiibo dumps (amiibo decryption service, amiitool, ...)
- NFC reader/writer hardware (USB NFC reader/writer, Android smartphone with NFC, ...)
- compatible software to write an amiibo dump to a blank NTAG215 tag (I could not find any so wrote my own)
- a hex editor (HxD, UltraEdit, ...)
- a picture of the amiibo (download it)
- a printer (printer at home, printer at work, photo kiosk, ...)
- a ruler and a cutter knife

Steps:
- decrypt amiibo dump
- use hex editor to change UID in amiibo dump to UID of blank NTAG215 tag
- encrypt amiibo dump
- write amiibo dump to blank NTAG215 tag
- print amiibo picture and cut it out
- put NTAG215 tag sticker on the back of amiibo picture

Are you looking for Android? You can PM me in that case ;)
i dont know how to pm. ha ha ha :rofl: but i dont currently own an andriod with nfc capabilities. but i do own an action replay nfc reader/ writer. im hoping maybe this piece of hardware.(with the right program) will work. but none the less if maybe you can send me a pm i am interested in looking into the android program. i am going to invest in a better phone soon.

Seems like the uploaded file is damaged.

Till they fix the download you can use v1.06 instead

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

check http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Amiibo for te memory layout. pay special attention to the encryption status of the pages, while keeping in mind that amiitool will en-/decrypt even the unencrypted parts

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
