[Updated] How To Use A PowerSaves for Amiibo To Download and Use Amiibo Bin Files

Some of you might've seen my older tutorial. I have made it a lot easier to follow and a lot more clear since.

This will let you use just a PowerSaves for Amiibo and the Powertag included to download and use Amiibo .bin files, eliminating the need for a NaMiiO and Amiiqo.
Let's start.

Spoiler: Why in the world would I want to do this?

UPDATE:
fetch-amiibos.exe contains a link to download Amiibo bin's. I had a brainfart and forgot that we couldn't share copyrighted files here. I have updated the attached ZIP file. fetch-amiibos.exe is now contained in a password protected ZIP file inside the attached ZIP file. The password is the name of that iso site.​

Prerequisites:

• A PowerSaves For Amiibo with the Powertag included US | UK
• A Computer Running at least Windows 7. The following tools do not work with XP or Vista. Sorry!
• The Amiibo Rename Tool I have attached.
• A brain.
• Action Replay PowerSaves for Amiibo software

Attention! The old guide is now obsolete! Use the attached Amiibo Rename Tool (amiibo_rename.zip) to install and rename the Amiibos in the PowerSaves directory!​

Spoiler: Old Guide

Let's Get Started:

1. Download the Amiibo_Tool.1.0.zip archive I have attached.

2. Now extract all three .exe files and ZIP file from this archive. Make a new folder on the C:
drive called Amiibo_Tool.1.0 (so it should be C:\Amiibo_Tool.1.0) or run an admin command prompt and type

Code:

md "C:\Amiibo_Tool.1.0\"

.

3. Now, extract fetch-amiibos.zip. The password is the name of that iso site. This should open up your default browser and download the file named amiibo-files.zip. Place that file somewhere where you will remember. Preferably directly on your C: drive (but do NOT put it in the C:\Amiibo_Tool.1.0 folder!).

4. Run install-amiibos.exe. Enter the path of your amiibo-files.zip file and press enter. If you saved it directly to your C: drive, type C:\amiibo-files.zip .

5. Two new items should be created in the Amiibo_Tools.1.0 folder. You should now, additionally have, amiibo-files.zip and amiibo-files.temp.

6. Now run install-amiibos-part-2.exe. This will install all of the Amiibo files for use in the PowerSaves Software. The application will now open the PowerSaves folder. If you do not see any .bin files in there then follow the on screen instructions.

7. That's it! Fire up the PowerSaves for Amiibo software and place your Powertag on the base. Click the Powertag option and select the Amiibo file you want to use! Cheers!

If you do this, please leave feedback! I'd really appreciate it!
Thank You!​

 

Yup. If you don't buy directly from the links I provided then make sure that it includes the Powertag! Older versions of the PowerSave did not have it. It's better to buy it in a store if a you can so you can make sure it includes the Powertag. Also, fetch-amiibos.exe with download the bin's for you! Cheers!

 

Already tried it, half of the time it just doesn't work and the other half just destroys the NTAG215 tag.

 

What would we need to hack the PowerSaves software for though?

 

I don't think so, unless someone on the temp is willing to sell one to you. You could always sell your current one and get one with the power tag.

 

Most likely not.

 

Yes, however you'll have to download the files for them yourself since the file that fetch-amiibos.exe grabs doesn't contain them, only the regular Amiibos.

Also, their are some compatibility issues. Just manually copy all of the .bin files to C:/Users/your username/PowerSaves for AMIIBO/

 

The password is just the name of the site. No WWW or .com.

It's a 6 character long password.

 

You mean use the phone as a Powertag?

 

The NaMiiO Software recognizes it as a NaMiiO but the Powertag doesn't work the NaMiiO Software afaik.
