Hacking [Tools] AmiiBomb

cygig · Feb 4, 2019

Just discovered this recently. Custom made an acrylic case for the Amiibombuino. I hope this will convinced Ac_K to continue development for Amiibomb.

And..it seems like I cannot post any images as a new member so I shall leave it as an attachment.

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

Anyway my experience isn't perfect: I can make amiibos, but I cannot dump amiibo from a tag what was already written to. In fact, Amiibomb would not even recognised any tag that was already written (it keeps asking for the NFC tag as if it is not there), with the exception of blank tags. Strange....

hi

Are the pcb schematics of the shield arduino nano + nfc, still up?

thanks

I had the error communicating a lot of other people had. It said it was waiting for an ntag, I would place my sticker on the antenna, and it'd find the tag, try to write, and be unable to.

I resolved it by using a shorter USB cable to my arduino. It's probably a loss of amperage from cable length problem.

I don't know how to proceed. I tried Amiibomb, but I can't seem to flash my Arduino Nano: when I have the basic Blink Sketch uploaded, it gets stuck at either "Establishing sync..." or if I have anything else actually uploaded, it gets to "> Unable to establish sync after 20 retries. > Closing serial port..."

I tried to write my NTag 215 with another guide (from konstantin-kelemen on github) - I was actually able to write to two stickers, but my Nintendo Switch doesn't seem to recognize them... no idea if it's because of the stickers, or the procedure used was the issue, but nonetheless, it doesn't work.

I'd love to get it to work with amiibomb. Any pointers? I am able to uploaded sketches properly to my Arduino Nano, but somehow Amiibomb won't sync or connect?

Cheers anyway, going through the whole post now to find anything.

got any pictures of your setup?

Okay. I actually managed to flash my Arduino using Powershell and avrdude! I also had to use the hex file from amiibomb alpha 2, or else amiibomb wouldnt communicate with my ntags.

Now,... I was able to successfully write on one NTag, no error messages. I launched BOTW, enabled amiibo and moved the sticker around. Nothing popped up ingame... So I went back to my PC and dumped the NTag into a bin with Amiibomb. It successfully dumped the Link amiibo into a .bin and the database showed the amiibo accordingly.

It doesn't work with my Pro Controller either. At least the issue with flashing my Arduino and writing has been resolved...

E: Oh, and would it matter if I write a decripted amiibo/.bin to a ntag? or has it to be encrypted?

E2: Holy shit, I am actually mentally challenged. You have to actually USE the sheikah slate ingame to get the amiibo to work. But still, it seems like it only worked with the decrypted .bin file I put on the Ntag. Is that the case?

E3: Maybe I should just try more instead. It actually doesn't matter it seems. Even the other Ntags I "wasted" work using a different procedure. Amiibomb is just so much more convenient to be honest, no need to copy/past Hex-code into the Arduino IDE etc. You just have to know "how" to use an amiibo actually... I didn't put the Ntags long enough ontop of my controller. I feel stupid.

I have a problem with the new Amiibos files. Saved to folder and does not appear in Amiibomb.
Can someone help me?

try adding it in a new folder or try clearing the cache

Not sure if this thread is still active. I have connected Everything up. Got some ntag215 stickers type 2. And have the correct amiibo key files and bins. When I go to create NTAG and select the correct port. Once I hit create amiibo rage it just hangs on waiting for NTAG. And then error your tag isn’t probably not a ntag215.

If I remember correctly i used the sketch with the MFRC522 library version 1.3.6 and it worked for me.

ZeldaR0cks · Sep 25, 2019

I am trying to backup a real Amiibo and within the first couple of pages of being read I either get a CRC error or a data error. Example: "Page 5 on 135 is readed Error occured: ERROR Data: Error in communication." I upgraded the package to the latest MFRC522 library and now it usually fails at a later page than before. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Just wanted to say that as posted earlier I had to flash firmware from 0.2 and use 0.3 software for flashing of my tags.
Had to sign up, don't know what happened to my account, probably a clean-up at some point...

It would be nice if OP could update this or maybe someone make a sticky with "updated" info.

So, after trying to get my arduino up and running... I can't seem to get past this error.

"Waiting for NTAG... Found!

Short UID is: 0463A4521C5C80 Long UID is: 0463A44B521C5C8092

"C:\Users\Desktop\Amiibomb\AmiiBomb_0.3_Alpha_by_Ac_K\Amiibo .bin Dump\Celica.bin" is patched. "C:\Users\Desktop\Amiibomb\AmiiBomb_0.3_Alpha_by_Ac_K\Amiibo .bin Dump\Celica.bin" is send to AmiiBombuino.

Error occured: ERROR Data: A MIFARE PICC responded with NAK."

I have no clue what this means. I'm not knowledgeable enough in the slightest to solve this, and any attempts I made have not worked out for me. I don't understand what to do at all.

If anyone can explain to me what I need to do to overcome this, that'd be really great.

What is teh NAK? The Arduino + RC522 are soldered correctly + wired correctly. The .bins are fine I think.

Been spending the last 4 days on this and I have no clue where to begin.

means you probably have the incorrect tag, need a NTAG215

I'm pretty sure they are correct?

The other tags I have aren't ntag 215's, as the don't get registered by amiibomb. Both came with the RFID reader, and the tag is identified as a non Ntag, while the other isn't read whatsoever. Meanwhile, Amiibomb does attempt to send the data over to the RFID.

Unless the error "A MIFARE PICC responded with NAK." means the tags aren't compatible, in which case, shit, I screwed myself over with these cards.

In any case, thanks for your help.

that usually means it cant write to the tags, look up amiibo tags on aliexpress and they should work fine

Seriously? I swear I got them off ali as well, as Ntag 215's.

Are you 100% certain it's just the tags being trash?

If so, would the ones here work?

Or which would you recommend?

nitrostemp · Mar 20, 2020

they should work, but these are what i have been using. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32315909847.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.nV3ZJH

So I went back to ali and looked up what I purchased before.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32849615380.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.620a4c4dh7dEwK

Turns out they should work, so I'm not going to buy anything for now and just leave this project undone for now.

I'll probably try to get a cheap NFC android phone and use tagmo, OR buy the 3ds NFC reader and use thenaya :/

Thanks a lot for your help regardless nitro

So I checked Github. This project has been archived. Is there a replacement for it? @Ac_K
