Hacking [Tools] AmiiBomb

[Ac_K]

Hi,

I usually see many questions about the Amiibo, N2(Amiiqo), Datel Power Saves, TagMo... And nothing was easy and cheap to do an Amiibo Clone Tag... So I'm glad to bring you AmiiBomb!

AmiiBomb

​

AmiiBomb is Windows tools, with cheap component used, for create Amiibo Tag (NTAG215) and much more...

What's you need?

• 1x Windows PC
• 1x Arduino Uno R3 (around $4)
• 1x USB Cable Type AB (pretty sure you already have it)
• 1x RFID Module RC522 (around $2)
• 7x Pin Wire Male-Female (around $1 for x20)
• 1x Soldering Iron Kit (and a little soldering skills)
• Many NTAG215 as you want Amiibo Tag (around $34 for x100)

What you have to do?

You have to solder the pins on the RC522 Module and connect them following this schematics. Connect the Arduino Uno (or Nano) to the PC by USB and That's all! (Guys with soldering skills already know that but I prefer explain for anyone!)

Signal | RC522 Pin | Arduino Pin
-----------------------------------------------
RST/Reset | RST | 9
SPI SS | SDA(SS) | 10
SPI MOSI | MOSI | 11 / ICSP-4
SPI MISO | MISO | 12 / ICSP-1
SPI SCK | SCK | 13 / ICSP-3
VCC | 3.3V | 3.3V
GND | GND | GND

And when the hardware is ready?

You have to run AmiiBomb, Set an Amiibo folder (*.bin files), select the Amiibo Keys, flash the AmiiBombuino Firmware to the Arduino, and you are ready to Read and Write Amiibo Tag.

• *.bin folder

It's the folder where you can put your Amiibo dumps (previously dumped with AmiiBomb or found on internet, Google is your friend for that). You can save the readed Amiibo here too, to write it back to another NTAG. You don't have to re-execute AmiiBomb, it's looking for folder changes automatically.

• Amiibo Keys

You probably already have them if you know a little how Amiibo cloning works. If not, a little helper is here in AmiiBomb. Due to Copyright reason, we can't distribute them, but there is many place to found them. AmiiBomb send you to the right website, you just have to highlight the keys chars and copy them to your Clipboard, AmiiBomb check if the valid keys was inside, and ask you if you want to save them. If you have already them, you just have to select the keys file.

• AmiiBombuino Firmware

Just an Arduino program who communicate with AmiiBomb, You can flash it through avrdude by yourself or using the Internal Flasher in AmiiBomb or using XLoader.

​

Overview

What is done?

• Grab info of an Amiibo Dump via http://Amiibo.life website.
• Cache system for Amiibo Dump informations in a file.
• Enable/Disable and Reset Informations Caching files.
• Reconize encrypted/decrypted Amiibo Dump.
• Decrypt/Encrypt Amiibo Dump.
• Able to fix the incorrect size of one type of Amiibo Dump (Power Saves or N2? I don't know:/)
• Dump and Write AppData of an Amiibo Dump.
• Help to found Amiibo Keys and Autodetect them in Clipboard for save them in file.
• Multilanguages.
• Read a NTAG215 and save it to an Amiibo Dump file.
• Write an Amiibo Dump file to an NTAG215.
• Flash AmiiBombuino Firmware inside AmiiBomb.
• Get Amiibo Tag Basic Informations.
• and more...

What's Next?

• Many little things to do AmiiBomb more User Friendly.
• Clean the code.
• It's work really fine with an NTAG215 but I don't know if it's work with an Amiibo ^^'!
• AppData editor (for SSB Amiibo or any others who have interesting things inside).
• Support PN532 NFC Module in AmiiBombuino.
• Improve the docs.

Release

ChangeLog v0.3 Alpha:

Fix:

• Fix bug of AmiiBombuino check on busy COM port. (Thanks dtomcat)
• Detect when Tag is not compatible. (Suggest by YozenPL)
• Add a forget message when delete cache files is done.
• Change way to detect if *.bin file is encrypted.

Improvement:

• Increase AmiiBombuino RxGain to read Boxed Amiibo. (Thanks StandardBus)
• Add folders browsing inside the Bin Folder. (Suggest by donator TerryG)
• Add ability to search Amiibo files. (Suggest by Zarklord)
• Keyboard Shortcuts added. (Suggest by YozenPL)
• Add Donators to the About windows.

New:

• Add Spoof UID of *.bin file (For N2/PowerTag).
• Add Support AmiiboAPI to get Amiibo informations. (Thanks N3evin - AmiiboAPI owner)
• Add Twilight Princess Wolf AppData Editor.
• Add Support of PowerSaves for Dump (Thanks ConsoleX for donate PowerSaves/PowerTag)

Translation:

• Russian translation added. (Thanks Chrushev)
• Netherlands translation added. (Thanks DjoeN)

Release: https://github.com/AcK77/AmiiBomb-uino/releases/
Source Code: https://github.com/AcK77/AmiiBomb-uino/

In a future, I would own an N2 to add many functionality as possible in AmiiBomb. If you have any kind of ideas or suggestions, just let me know ! You feel free to donate me at paypal adress: [email protected]

Thanks & Enjoy!

Looks and sounds fantastic! Does it work with Ubuntu at all?

 

[Sliter]

awesome!
There are some USB NFC readers/writer , or maybe skylanders portal?
(also it's possible to use to writte skylanders and stuff on the tags?)

- Multilanguages (Right now english and french, contact me if you want to translate it).

also I can help with Portuguese if you want

 

[MichiS97]

Where could I find such an Arduino for that price? I can only find them for about 30€

I've found on aliexpress looking for "Arduino Uno R3" , but was just a fats search, haven't looked in details

If you could get the software to work with the NFC usb programmer that comes with the N2 that would be amazing for folks that dont own an android phone and wish to use their PC to make tags.

There's cheap clones such as this one. They all do the same thing, you just might have to download separate drivers from online.

I've been using my android phone to flash but this looks like a fun little project! Parts ordered!

This doesn't appear to make you use your phone but an Arduino instead. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

You missed what I was asking, PC.. software and writer only.

 

[bennyman123abc]

Whoops. Sorry about that. But currently it seems the software only supports Arduino to flash the images which is a good thing for people like me who ordered 10 Arduinos for an unfinished project

 

[jpx86]

Will this work for Skylanders, too?

 

[aut0mat3d]

skylanders and amiiibos are different concepts, so..... nope ATM

 

[Hemoner]

hi, im interested in your proyect, if you can release the program it will be very good! Just buyed all the parts for testing, if you can release it soon for testing

If someone looking for cheap kit, here you have one for 13$ with 2 nfc cards

Thanks! I'm new to both Skylanders and Amiibo - bought my first of both with the Switch.

 

[Deleted User]

Your software looks great the best so far. I've always been interested in raspberry pi and audrino now I have an excuse to buy one!!

It will be cool if in the future your program will work with N2elite too.
- Restore bin file to selected slot
- Activate selected slot

 

[Dan-the-Rebirth]

But if i usw this to write in a ntag i still cange the bin right?

 

[Ac_K]

Just a response on the few questions here :

- AmiiBomb it just for windows. Can probably ported with Mono when I put AmiiBomb open source.

- For the announced prices of the differents parts, you can found them on Aliexpress or Ebay...

- It's not compatible to Skylanders, maybe in future due to hardware used, but right now I'm focus on Amiibo.

- For the N2 support, Right now I can promise anything but it's maybe able to modify it. I don't own N2/Amiiqo so for now, it's just an idea to support it.

- For all traductions purpose, I keep your names in my mind, and contact you when the release still here soon.

Are these the right things?

RFID Module RC522
Pin Wire Male-Female
Arduino Uno R3

they are the cheapest I saw on AliExpress
