Ohh I see whats wrong. You have to change the 'path/to/amiibo.bin' to the actual bin file path. In your case you should be typing in cmd:
Code:
python amiibo_sn.py "K:\003\Amiibo SN Changer\amiibo.bin"
or since the amiibo file is in the same directory as the amiibo_sn.py file you could just type:
Code:
python amiibo_sn.py amiibo.bin
You should also be able to drag and drop the amiibo.bin file directly onto the amiibo_sn.py file and it should load it up. And just a side note, you don't have to rename the amiibo bin file to amiibo.bin for it to work.

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

I modified the amiibo_sn.py file a bit more. I changes it so that it would increment the filename instead of amending the serial number onto it.

Your advice was very helpful.
Sincerely thank.

I've been trying to use this (using the latest update posted by Lil_SpazJoekp) with TagMo to write to a powertag. However, whenever I change a serial on a bin, it no longer shows up in TagMo. TagMo just doesn't detect bins with different serials.. did something change again? What am I doing wrong :(

Hello all the friends of the forum, I have a problem using amiibo tags.
I bought the powersaves amiibo (codejunkies) with tags included, I can write and backup the amiibo so the hardware is ok.The problem is this, if I try to use the same amiibo after changing the serial via the software posted, the 'amiibo is not recognized by the switch. So I can not scan the tag several times a day. How can I fix it?

Thanks for your help

The serial changer that is included in the powersaves software is broken. Use this:
Can confirm that it works with the latest update 5.0.1..here's the updated amiibo_sn.py.

Hi Lil_SpazJoekp I tried to use both the serial changer both the one posted by AnalogMan that the one included with the powersavers, but after having written them on the tag are no longer recognized by the switch.If instead register a backup taken on the internet, the switch recognizes the tag . Did anyone have this kind of problem?

hi here is the solution to edit the file amiibo_sn.py
line 17 is like this:
bcc0 = uid0 ^ uid1 ^ uid2
it must be like this to work:
bcc0 = uid0 ^ uid1 ^ uid2 ^ 0x88

Tested with firmware 5.1.0 Zelda BOTW

Bye Bye

Yeah..that’s exactly what I changed in the amiibo_sn.py that I posted in the previous page.

I'm trying to use this and I'm reading the readme file, but I still have no idea whatsoever on how to use this. I don't see an asnc.exe file anywhere, the amiitool.exe and zerotest.exe files DON'T open and just close immediately even when dragging and dropping my amiibo.bin files over them, and the csproj file is not an available option, since it is trying to use UTorrent to open it, for some reason. Dragging an amiibo bin file over the csproj file doesn't work either. I'm basically like a 5 year old when it comes to python and all of this stuff, so if you would like to help me, you might have to speak to me like I am a young child, despite the fact I'm 20... What do I do?

No problem. I think you downloaded the source code instead of the compiled version. (To be fair, the readme is bad. I should update it)
https://github.com/DarkIrata/AmiiboSN-Changer/releases/tag/v1.1.1.0 | AmiiboSN.Changer.zip
Put the key_retail.bin next to the asnc.exe.
For easier use, open the asnc-gui.exe.

Ah, okay thank you now I have something to work with. Although, now I am getting this error...
Keep in mind that I simply took a Marie amiibo bin file and renamed it "key_retail.bin" since I thought that's what I had to do. Was that where I made the error, using an amiibo.bin file as the renamed key_retail.bin file? Or is there something else that may be wrong?

EDIT: I found my answer and fixed it. Everything seems like in working condition now. I'll come back if I have another issue. Thanks!

EDIT 2: Unfortunately, this caused Smash Bros. Ultimate to have an error upon reading the amiibo. I used an N2 Elite Pro with nfc tag files for both the Callie and Marie amiibo to get their spirit to sell for more spirit points, but I can't use them anymore since I already got the reward. now that I'm using the same tags and putting them into your program to make duplicates of them, the duplicates are being read as errors in game now. And yes, I tried both checking the 5.0.0 box and leaving it unchecked as well. Is it me, or is it Smash Ultimate that's the problem?

Which error exactly? Does it says that the Amiibos are invalid or that they are already been used?
Oh and in which menu did you scan them in Smash. Didn't played around with amiibos in the game yet :D

//Edit: After playing around with it. It looks like the needed flip bit which was a problem on v5.0.0 switch is no longer needed. Mhmm.
//Edit 2: Nope, after testing there is something more what changed. I will look more into it.

It just says “An error has occurred reading this amiibo. Please try again later.” But alright, please keep me updated. :)

https://github.com/DarkIrata/AmiiboSN-Changer/releases/tag/2.0.0.0 its fixed now. Also gives more informations. I tested it with a n2tag and nfc tags (tagmo).
Hope it works for you now too. :)

Oh and also adjusted the readme. It shouldn't be confusing anymore.
I'm trying to use this but the arrow button that should generate the new amiibo keys is stuck as a faded grey. I set an output path to be in the same folder as the program, I have my own key_retail.bin and I changed the quantity to 2, 5, 10, etc. and it's still faded. I also can't seem to find the readme file anywhere... there's also a lock on the amiibo next to the green trash bin to remove them from the list. Could that be the reason why it won't let me generate more amiibo serials? If so, how can I get it removed?

You need to place the key_retail.bin in the keys direcotry. When you then load a amiibo file, it should be unlocked.

Oddly enough, the game still says "You have already received the award from this amiibo," even with the copies I am making... sigh Guess it's time to throw in the towel at this point, eh? Well, thanks for trying anyway. I really do appreciate the help.
