Hacking [Release] Amiibo BIN Serial Changer

[Blind66]

Just a heads up, this won't work if there's an apostrophe in an amiibo bin file name. I couldn't get it to work with the 30th Anniversary Majora's Mask Link amiibo until I renamed it from "Majora's" to "Majoras"

'llo here !
Hm, i can't get it to work.
I have Python 3.0.1 installed. When i drag&drop the BIN file onto the py script, a command windows pops up and immediatly close.
WHen i use command line, it tells me that 'python' is not a known an internal or external command, an executable or a command file.
What I am doing wrong ?

Sounds like when python was installed it was not added to your Windows PATH and so it does not recognize the command 'python' when you are not in the python install folder. Try installing it again and make sure the "Add to Windos PATH" option is checked on the first install screen.

Thanks for pointing that out! I use single quotes in the script to pass the file path to amiitool so having a single quote in the file name messes that up. I'm sure I could rework that to make single quotes work.

Does this work with TagMo and a Powertag together?

It works with Powertag, and I'm pretty sure it will work with TagMo.

 

[ubscode]

Thanks! I guess I'll have to find the right apk in that case.

TagMo does not support the Power Tag, no. You need to use the Power Saves NFC writer to use the Power Tag.

It keeps saying that there is no such file or directory for key_retail.bin when there definitely is. How do I fix this?

 

[MarioMasta64]

i already did it and uploaded it y
tto the bank site quite soon ago actually

Damn, reinstalled Python and could'nt find that option to tick.
I'll give a try this late with another Python installer.
I'll let you know.

EDIT : i didn't get the installer form the page you linked. This time i used the one on the first post and see the tick "Add to PATH".
To be continued...

EDIT 2 : well, still no luck
drag'n drop doesn't work (nothing happens), and using commande line gives me the error :

"The application couldn't start correctly (0x000007b).
Click Ok to close the app"

Humpf... still investigating.

Very important no one do this with a PowerTag

Enough writes to the tag using the Datel Powersaves writer = fried Powertag.

It's a common occurrence a lot of people without one aren't aware. I just fried mine doing a Guardian amiibo over and over. Not a good idea. Another person says no matter if you do it all at once - or over a long period of time - the PowerTag 100% fries. OP do you even have a powertag?

At this point - I would use a NTAG215...or just change the system time...

why can one not just use your modified bin on blank NFC tags? What makes PowerTag/N2 different from a standard NTAG215 keyfob from china or a blank NTAG215?

Now I have to return my powersave....signed up just to write this!

Not correct. Tagmo DOES support the PowerTag.

What?! Since when? I'm trying this right now.

 

[ParaGrosTas]

AFAIK, not every NTAG215 can be rewritten. Once it has a bin on it, you wont be able to change it and will just like any other amiibo (scan once a day)
The N2 can store up to 200 bins and switch between them with a button so no need to manually change the bin every time you want a new scan.
Dont know about the PowerTag.

I have also a PowerSaves White Base and every day I flash with all Zelda compatibles amiibos without any fried Tag. I write the tag with all diferent amiibo bin with 30sec delay, maybe you writed too fast ?

Now I have 11 Extra Power Tag, but for 10 days I used only the one I had and no probs.

PS : Thanks for the tool, works perfectly.

I might be wrong but I just googled Tagmo and Powertag. someone on here claimed it worked

Hmmm, after testing it writes to the power tag but the power tag is not properly read by the Switch. I'll see if there's a new update to TagMo I'm unaware of.

Mine was about 30 seconds too. I flashed Guardian amiibo modified bin exactly 55 times. Can you say the same that you flashed 55 amiibo's onto your Powertag? How did you get so many powertags? Wtf? I can barely find any on ebay let alone any of PowerSaves in stores. Care to share your duplication powers?

Yes, I have a Power Tag, it's what I developed and tested this tool with. Over 100 rewrites and counting. As for why this tool does not work for NFC tags is because it would be pointless. The purpose of this tool is to change the NTAG215 serial that's being emulated by the Power Tag. If you use actual NTAG215 tags they have their own unique serial numbers and don't use the one stored in the BIN.

Datel sells 3x and 10x packs on their eBay store.

So how come mine stopped working? Is it possible I wrote too fast? What's the best technique in writing to the PowerTag with your modified bins? For someone aiming to grind amiibo's for his play session quickly? Should I even write that many amiibos in one day? What's your technique?

Please advise!!

 

[Nate6194]

Am I the only one that cant figure this out? lol I downloaded the zip and unzipped it. I downloaded and installed python 3.6. I put in the command on the thread start and then the path of the bin file and it tell me syntax error. Where does the "amiitool.exe" come into play? I guess I am just really stupid or really confused haha. Can someone please tell me how to do this? I would really like to utilize this.
