Hey everyone,

I did not participate in any thread but the tips, hacks, tools from the community often helped me. It is now my turn to give the community something you could have interest in.

The app is currently only made for Android (through a direct download). It lets you save and restore your amiibos very easily. Not available on the Play Store and will NEVER be ! (No need to explain I suppose :) )

- No limits ! (well, it is not a NTAG215 emulation which is well... impossible for now using the current android hardwares - any different info? Please PM me ;) )

- Store the data onto your Google Drive (if you have the Play Store and play services already installed on your device)

- Very simple to use : scan amiibos using the "+" button, save the amiibo or restore it through your saved ones.

- Open Source. Download directly the apk from the website or compile the source once the repo cloned ;) And transparency, the app is using some libraries to help manage the data internally and some to manage statistics and crash reports.

Any ideas ? Any issues? > Please PM me

Direct link : http://amiibo.codlab.eu/amiibo.apk
Github : https://github.com/codlab/amiibo




Hey final note ! There is also a server part... It is only to serve basic data (updates of the available amiibos etc...). If you have any idea or want to participate into this part to, it's a pleasure :)

Click to expand...
Can you restore an Amiibo backup onto a different type of Amiibo? That would be pretty cool if possible :D
Also, would it be possible to buy cheap NFC tags and write Amiibo onto them with this? (and if yes, any info on what type NFC tag/where I could buy them?)
Anyways, nice work.
 
I did not try for now the save / restore onto different amiibos but as far as I read from the various documentations available. Nothing is set to a specific amiibo (UUID, etc...) so you should be able to save a Gold Mario and restore it on an other one. But note that it impossible to do so on a Toad for instance. It is, at least, bind to the amiibo type

Edit : if you can find NTAG125 Chip with the right amount of pages and the support for PWD and PACK, well, yes you can duplicate completely and easily an amiibo
 
complete Amiibo emulation will not be possible for now : emulating specifically a NTAG215 is right now, unsupported by most architectures and furthermore, the access to the emulation layer APIs is blocked unless a custom firmware (and by custom firmware, it means quite lots of NFC module modifications)

Where did you buy the tags? I found ones that look like that on Aliexpress.
EDIT: And if you didn't use just this app to edit the tags, what did you use.
EDIT2: Do you think NTAG213s would work?

Really great app! (Thanks to this I found out that my NFC is broken...) I have a few questions:
  • How can I delete an amiibo save?
  • How can I upload it to Google Drive?
  • Can I export saves?
  • Can I restore someone else's backup?
 
It looks like the backups are stored in the app's /data folder. You can't get them without root. It would be nice if the backups were on the user storage instead, That way I could try writing modified Amiibo data without having to root a device I'm legally not allowed to root.

Root your phone, or edit the sourcecode which is publicly available to write to the SD card?
I'll see what I can get some friends to do.

I was able to edit my ADB backup of the app data to add the hacked Amiibo data. There is a bit of extra data, but if you ignore that, it works fine.
 
Does anyone know how to edit the UID however? And how do you get the UID for the new tag?
