Hacking [Tools] AmiiBomb

Yet again, the point is completely missed.

A fair number of people around here have one of a couple items that can already do NFC reading/writing:

Better yet, those devices also have full access granted by homebrew and kernel exploits. So, the question remains: why should we need anything else for this?

aha, you meant for those. as for the wii u, iirc there is so "simple" way of doing it. as for the 3DS, more of the same + whoever is interested in doing the hard work would have to code a native interface, where as in pc/smartphones that's relatively simple. it's just simpler to use your phone or 6usd worth of diy hardware than to start poking the NFC hardware in the consoles.

Just want to say a big thanks to the developer for his awesome software and to x20a for helping me out yesterday. All of the pieces arrived and I've got it all working successfully.

Thank you all!

Oh look, yet another external device for cloning amiibo, except rather than expensive, it's complicated as all hell. When do we see something that takes advantage of the NFC reader/writer pretty much all of us have?

Edit: Okay, so this is in the Switch boards, but still, there's no reason that those of us with a Wii U or (New)3DS should have to rely on external devices as well. Why there isn't an app for those yet eludes me.

Creating something like this for 3DS or WiiU is a monumental task compared to doing it on a PC in literally just a few hours. Its super cheap, and is insanely fast. It takes less than a second to write the amiibo (literally), so the other 5 seconds is selecting the one you want and pressing a button. So you literally make an amiibo every few seconds. Its silly how simple this is.

You can do this with an android phone but its a bit more complicated than sticking 8 wires into holes and pressing a button with the mouse.

Great tool, worked for 99% of my backups.. but when it comes to the Spoofed Zelda BoW .bin's it does not work. Not sure exactly why..

 

[Rudi Rastelli]

Let me say THX 4 this great project. Hope it will support Skylander and Lego Dimension some day.

For now i just wanna share how my version looks like:

The 'case' is just a box for some screws i'd bought sometime and i've used enamelled copper wires for the connections between the uno and the RC522.

This is odd, you're talking about the majoras mask and skyward sword link, correct? I have not tried to write these to an ntag, but I do use the bins daily on my powertag and they work fine there. Maybe try using the bins from the powersaves bin pack instead of the other bin pack? I also noticed that the 20 heart wolf link from the powersaves bin pack seems to work for me, where the bin from the other bin pack only gives me a 3 heart wolf.

I have to disagree, this method is extremely cheap and easy. However, you do raise a good point. I honestly have no idea why no one has written one at least for the 3ds. It looks like it's pretty well documented here:

https://3dbrew.org/wiki/NFC_Services

There is a WriteRawPage, which I assume, with my limited knowledge, would allow us to write an ntag. Any developers interested in taking a look at something like this?

You are right, the majoras mask and skyward sword. I wrote them manually using amiitool and the arduino script.

So I know the Bin's are correct.

I wish I would have labeled them as I could dump them and show a 'diff' but of course that would be too easy

So I have 3 of them that are white labels that I can't differentiate. Maybe someone else can try it and see, but it would be at the risk of a $.40 ntag215

i had no issue writing the spoofed tags with this app.

 

[ShoGinn]

Thanks for replying!

Good to know. I wrote it two times and it failed both times.. but I was having issues with my Windows VM I wrote about 22 other ones with no problems so I troubleshot it to the fact that it was spoofed.

Im curious if others have had issues..

Is there a solderless solution (using screw terminals)? If not, then no, it's not "easy". Not everyone has the 3DS-stable hands necessary to solder.

You can buy jumpers and literally just plug them in

it is possible to set it up without soldering, i dont have very stable hands either, but i just put the iron on the contact point and tapped the solder on and it joined without issue.

 

[urherenow]

• Many NTAG215 as you want Amiibo Tag (around $34 for x100)

Where do you order them for this price? I've seen stickers that are like $1.40 each

 

[nitrostemp]

oh god they are on sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If u buy this set u only have to solder the pin header to the RC522 everything else is just plug'n'play.
If ure inexperienced but brave hearded enough to try it yourself i recommend using solder which has a flux core to make things easier... else i'm pretty sure u know someone who can do this little job 4 u with ease.

 

[urherenow]

one more question though... these NTAG215s have a capacity of 504 bytes, but most dumps are 540 bytes or 572 bytes. How does this work with 504 bytes of space, exactly?

EDIT:

And by the way...

Thanks! Ordered a set

yes you can do it without soldering by using alligator clips or literally just wrapping the wire around the headers. You can see on mine I just literally stuck the wires into the terminals on the Arduino side. I did solder the other end but you can use alligator clips or some other way to keep two wires togeter. - http://imgur.com/a/rsaSR

Its only 7 wires too. And pretty big contact points. I remember soldering on PS2 mod chips those things had 20+ on a tiny surface... here is a picture for you... now thats not easy!

 

[x3n0]

Nice pic Chrushev, did one of those way back in the old days . It was a pain to solder all those tiny wires to the tiny solderpoints on a brand new ps2.

Back on topic: you can use a nfc enabled Phone to write to nfc tags SRKTiberious.
