The data tel power save can write to ntag215 stickers via namiio correct?

Can we just buy the powertags and use an android phone to write to it or do we need the powersaves device as well?

no one has clearly stated if the Datel Powersaves for Amiibo NFC reader/writer could write to blank NFC tags using Namiio or the Powersaves software which i hope someone could clarify this.

Regarding purchasing Powertags separately for use with an NFC-enabled android phone without the actual Powersaves device is a gamble, you are better off getting the Powersaves+Powertags together i think.

Or just order blank NFC tags and use it with Tagmo or Amiibitz using your android NFC-enabled phone which i think is easier and cheaper.

Anyway, i ordered thru EBay the Powersaves+Powertag and 10pcs blank NFC ntag215 stickers via Aliexpress and hopefully i could get the said items soon. The wait is killing me.

As soon as i get them, i will try to experiment with it and let you guys know..

Hello guys, Datel sell also the PowerSaves on EBay : http://www.ebay.fr/sch/datel.electronics/m.html?item=252812884415

And a great news, they asked me what we do with the PowerSaves because they sold many of them these last days, so I told them the spoof trick and also asked if they can sell Token Separately, and tadaa :

http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Extra-x10-Am...-use-with-our-Amiibo-Powersaves-/252812884415


The very great news is people with old black PowerSaves model can also use these powertag, I tested it and they are compatible.

I think they are also compatible with amiiqo etc.

Shipped and received 3 days after my order (UK to France).

;)
Thank you for this tip. I went ahead and ordered a ten pack. Came out to $35 shipped to the US. I plan to add a thin strip of Velcro to this and make little printed and laminated cards to set on top that I can switch out as needed.

You can't write to anowertag with an android device. It seems
Something inside the writer and powertag need to talk to one another.

Some observations:

The power tag works with Tagmo (http://gbatemp.net/threads/diy-amiibo-cards.406978/page-28#post-6043258) for read/write but is read only with amiiqo/amiiwrite.

Namiio tokens seem to be exactly the same and can be bought separately ~21US$ (www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20160328101336&SearchText=namiio).

It can use files edited with this tool: https://gbatemp.net/threads/amiibo-cheat-tool.409152/

An NFC enabled phone, Tagmo, and the tags is all you need for your amiibo collection.

Hello, can you please confirm Tagmo with a PowerTag works? I don't seem to make it work using a OnePlus One, but it may be the wrong apk version I guess... Thanks!

My stickers arrive Monday. I'll be able to test if the data tel device can write to these stickers as well and report back.

The Powersaves software, just like the N2Elite software cannot write to the blank nfc stickers.

Using stickers with Namiio. Not powersave software. My stickers are still out for delivery. Not confident I'll have them today.
you think using the Namiio software with the Powersaves device will work with blank ntag215s?

The Namiio, power saves, and N2Elite all use emulated technology not actual NTAG215 chips. Maybe if you found some hacked version of the software specifically designed to write to NTAG215s it might work... but its not going to work using the off the shelf software meant to write to an emulating device.

I'm surprised the community isn't jumping on this. I have 18 amiibos, and not needing to carry them around to friends' houses is great!

Hi, can you please develop on how the powertag and TagMo works together? Nobody else seems to be able to write a functional powertag (used on a console) with Tagmo

Been trying to write to a Power Tag with TagMo 2.3.4 Beta on a Nexus 9 (Android 7.1.1) and the app crashes.
If I write a bin using the PowerSaves base, TagMo is able to read and save it.

Edit: Tried a Samsung A5, its writing something to the Tag but the Wii U is unable to read it.

Powersaves Portal and software cannot write to NTAG215s as-is.

Powersaves Portal and NaMiiO software will not write to NTAG215 as-is.

TagMo cannot write to Power Tag.

Currently there is no way to mix and match these products and functions.

Not everyone has an NFC Android phone and if you have the Powertag chances are you have the PowerSaves base.

Make sure the Amiibo bins are in the same directory as the EXE files. When entering the name of the dump don't enter the .bin. For example if the dump is called MyAmiiboDump.bin just enter MyAmiiboDump.

Also make sure the bin file has no spaces in the name and capitals do matter. The tool will only work on Windows 7/8/8.1/10. Possibly Vista.

Hello, I have the .bin files in the same directory as the EXE (which is attached to the post) and I'm still getting problems...

EDIT: Ok, I tried again and I dunno why it's working now but it seems it only works after i've either tried to dump an existing amiibo save or have the powersave program open at the same time as the attached program (or both).

The reason it worked is because the folder you are pointing it to didn't exist until you manually dumped an amiibo.

FWIW you can just move stuff to that folder yourself if you want.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • 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.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
