So you have downloaded it? Because it seems like it was taken of the play store, but if someone has downloaded it, they could upload the apk somewhere else.

No, If I had I would be glad to share it. I did ask at that site about other ways to download it so I'll wait and see what I get for an answer.

you know i was wondering the very same thing.. an android developer i know that NFC is similar to Bluetooth minus the need for a power source. but its all data the same. im sure with the right emulation of the data given off from the amiibo it may be possible to do. now as for a matter of how idk, dont own a amiibo...

I'll say it again. I don't care who anyone claims to be, or what they claim they can do I will not blindly believe what is said. If the person or people behind that site no matter who they are want to be trusted, they will need to show proof. Not just an average quality website with claims.

No big deal really. I got a Wii U just for SSB, and I haven't played it since November. I keep going back to my PC for League of Legends. And as soon as GTA 5 comes out I probably won't touch the Wii U for another 6 months.

Question: Couldn't someone using a Unix/Linux system simply debug the feed-out information from a wifi-paired Wii U gamepad's RFID scanner when an amiboo is placed on it? Or maybe see if any feed-out info is tossed up when placed on a Skylander's portal.

All you need to do is figure out how to generate the decryption key (which is what someone's working on), and the rest should be easy.

Here are three IDA databases of some Wii U executables which interacts with amiibos, hope this can help PPC reverse engineers ! :)

I've got a couple amiibo serials. Dunno if that's useful development on that spoofing thing but I could give them to whoever is developing it

These amiibo NFS's aren't fancy, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to break in. They'll be hacked before you know it!

The issue isn't that their high-tech, but that it uses a type of NFC (MIRA) that isn't standard with Android and isn't particularly easy to emulate, either (someone please correct me if I'm wrong)

Well There are other ways to get in, besides using a Android device. Even though that is a simple and easy way for a everyday user.

True. It would be nice to be able to use an Android (and maybe even newest iPhone generation) device to broadcast NFC, because that would require the least cost of extra materials to the end user

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
