Hacking Question Is there an android app that can send amiibos through NFC?

[BlastedGuy9905]

I'd like to know if there's an app that SENDS amiibos to the Switch or 3DS, not flash them to an NFC sticker/card. Does something like this exist?

No there is not

Do you know if it is possible?

There were some people working on it in the wii u forums a few years ago but it didnt ever get anywhere. I dont think its possible

To my knowledge it's not possible anymore, they no longer use the necessary hardware and the OS no longer supports it.

It was supported back when they had a secure element for NFC based payments with Google Wallet.

I looked into this for a good while and decided that just buying some NFC cards + Tagmo was the best option. The cards are dirt cheap.

Google changed how NFC works after 4.3 (I believe), making it impossible to emulate specific NFC hardware, ntag215 in this case.

Impossible meaning you'd have to write drivers for most devices, and ain't nobody got time for that.

But wheres the problem with flashing a rom thats <4.3 ?
But I guess we would still need the tools for that hmm idk.

I've seen something like this. However, this requires you to modify a file requiring root permissions. Thus you must have your phone rooted in order to do it.

I'll do some research, my phone is rooted. It would be heaven, when you would only need your phone instead of these clunky amiibos.

You can check on XDA too, there might be some working solution.

Hardware on your phone is different to hardware on a 4.2 phone.

Assuming your phone is newer than 2013 or so.

Closest you can get is using your phone to write em to cheap NFC cards..

If you want to mess with an old phone that supports super old versions of CyanogenMod (back when CyanogenMod had their own NFC module), it might be possible, but I don't believe anyone ever released an app to do it. I know someone got skylanders tags working but I don't believe they ever released the app or the or the source code.

You will need to order some NTAG215 chips. You can get them on Amazon but you can get them cheaper on Aliexpress .

No way to do it directly from your phone to console, the tag has to be 215.

Says in OP that the user isnt looking for a ntag solution. Obvious that the OP is already aware of ntags
