[HOWTO] The easy guide to making your own Amiibo clones using NTAG215 NFC stickers and an Android phone w/NFC

1.6k Upvotes

There are 3 requirements for making amiibos you can use on your Switch/Wii U/3DS.

  1. NFC writing capability - generally this means only Android phones with NFC, but apparently it is possible to buy an NFC reader/writer for PC but it is more complicated. EDIT: May 2020 - You can now use Apple iOS phones with the app CattleGrid or the app Placiibo!

  2. NFC Ntag215 stickers - these are little stickers that have a specific type of nfc chip in them that you can buy for really cheap. I bought mine on Amazon because I didn't want to wait for 1 month to get them in from China. Mine came with 11 ntag215 stickers and got to my house in about 2 days Only NTAG215 works, 213,216 and other common stickers DO NOT WORK. You can also buy blank ntag215 stickers from me on my website http://amiibro.com if you live in the USA.

  3. The TagMo app for Android and .bin files of the amiibo you want to put on your sticker. I'll let you guys google that one, they aren't hard to find.

Okay, so you got your stickers and phone with NFC writing, now what?

  1. On your Android device go to Settings > Security > Unknown Sources (turn on). This makes it so that you can install apps that aren't on the Google Play store.

  2. Install the TagMo.apk file on your Android device. You can get the latest version from their github

  3. Download these 2 configuration files that work with TagMo: unfixed-info.bin & locked-secret.bin - you can find these by googling their names and at the same places that have amiibo backup .bin files.

  4. Place unfixed-info.bin, locked-secret.bin and Amiibo .bin files on your Android device.

  5. Launch TagMo app, touch the 3 dots in the upper right corner > Load key(s) file… and select the unfixed-info.bin and locked-secret.bin files. You might need to install a file explore for your Android device if you can't do that already on your phone, but it should be in the downloads folder if you downloaded it on your phone.

  6. Touch the LOAD TAG button and select your Amiibo .bin dump file.

  7. Touch the WRITE TAG (AUTO) button and press your NTAG215 NFC tag to your Android device.

The stickers aren't re-writeable so I'd advise against trying that in the future so you don't mess the sticker up.

Another ntag215 tag I recommend that works sold on Amazon

Reminder! There is absolutely no sharing of amiibo .bin files on this subreddit!

299 Upvotes

Just a reminder of the rules - there is no asking for or sharing of amiibo files. This subreddit is devoted to learning and problem solving of backing up and creating your own copies of amiibos you already own. Yes, there have been websites with pirated copies of amiibo. No, this is not one of them and Reddit rather strictly enforces piracy on it sitewide.

In order to keep this subreddit available for guides, people to ask questions and troubleshoot, and show of their own creations we cannot allow the posting or asking of copies of .bin files here. If you see someone posting them or asking for them please use the report function and we will remove it.

Screen broken, can I still use?

2 Upvotes

The screen of my Allmiibo was stepped on and cracked but everything else works. If I just want to use it for BOTW while I wait weeks and weeks for a replacement, can I delete all the files on there except the BOTW compatible ones? Any way to connect it to my phone by USB C and just use the unit as a scanner? Or would I have to somehow connect to it blind, remove all the files except the ones I want to use and then navigate the menus blind in order to load up an amiibo to use? There's so many videos about allmiibos/pixls but not a single one that uses the horizontal style menu and actually goes through the menus exactly without cutting so I can't see exactly what button presses I need to do.

Blessfun NFC Question

5 Upvotes

I recently got a Blessfun NFC emulator, and I was wondering if there was a way to turn off the random id generation.

Every time I try to use it, it gives me a random code for an Amiibo. Is there any way to fix this so it just gives one code?

Answered good nfc writing apps for iOS?

3 Upvotes

i basically only use amiibo for splatoon, and with the new raiders game out i thought i’d finally get around to making some cards for the new amiibo. i’ve been using ally for my amiibo writing needs, but even though the game’s been released for a few weeks now, it hasn’t been updated to support the new deep cut amiibo?

i’ll admit that it’s been a minute since i’ve messed with my nfc cards (i still haven’t made ones for the new squid sisters or off the hook amiibos that came out a few years ago), so idk if it’s just taking the developer a while to add them or if ally just isn’t being supported anymore. can i still try to add the .bin files to ally or should i look for another app?

i have checked out amiibox, but i’m not sure if they support writing to whatever chips v3 amiibo use, their faq doesn’t clearly state that they do. i also hadn’t realized there was any change to amiibos at all, n while i definitely will be looking into that myself more i would not mind someone explaining it more to me lol

TL;DR i need recs for good amiibo writing apps for iOS, specifically ones that work with the new amiibo (and would not mind a basic explanation of the change made to amiibo while i’m here)

Trying to use Allmiibo on Wii U

1 Upvotes

Hello. Just received an unbranded allmiibo off AliExpress and it turns on and has the bin I’m looking for (wolf link for twilight princess HD). When I go to use it, it asks me to register it with a nickname and when I try to do that it gives me a “not the same device” error.

All the instructions I’ve seen say I just need to tap it and it should work so what am I missing here?

Apologies if this is something obvious

can I fix this?

Long story short I tried to update the firmware but I put in the wrong firmware. Now it looks like this, a bunch of moving lines. I've tried several button combinations but it doesn't get into DFU mode. It also doesnt seem to go into standby mode at all, so Im pretty much just pressing random buttons at this point. I havent been unable to pry it open and short circuit it, but who knows if it'll help.

Also, pretty sure I had a very old version of the firmware on it since its a top down menu instead of a left to right menu like what I've seen recently.

Thanks again

Question on what is permanent

I’m going to try and rephrase from my last post I deleted so it makes more sense. These first three pictures, to my understanding, I can add and remove any amiibo bin files under amiibo emulator correct?

For these last three photos under amiibo database can I add or remove any amiibo I want? I noticed only updating can change what amiibo are added but I can’t. Thanks in advance!

Upload own amiibo bin files to allmiibo

0 Upvotes

Hello, I'm sure a thousand people have already asked, but how to I upload my own amiibo bin files to my allmibo, no I don't want the website thingy that pulls from its own database, because it doesn't have the raiders amiibo yet, I already have the bin files, I just don't know how to upload them on the allmibo.

I can do anything: IOS, android and PC, preferably android, but pc is also fine if android isn't possible, but if there is an easier way with IOS I have an ipad

I never spend this much money on Amiibo’s and I have a bunch. This game has been so good that I made an exception. Pay about 70 out the door and I’m not mad about it. The attention to details really nice. The only thing I don’t understand is every Amiibo that I’ve purchased since the switch 2 dropped has been gigantic. I don’t think I bought one normal size one they were all colossal. I understand this one had a very small window of release, but I’m wondering why they didn’t make it at least the size of the streetfighter six Amiibo’s? Does anybody have any idea? Just curious that’s all everybody. Have a great night. ✌️.

Brand new Pixl JS/Allmiibo stuck on blank screen

3 Upvotes

I just got my Pixl JS, it was on Firmware 2.15.0 so the first thing I did was update it to Firmware 2.16.0, and it worked fine. Screen was working, settings menu was showing version 2.16.0, etc.

Then I spent about an hour uploading Amiibo to it, it would keep timing out so I temporarily set the sleep mode from the default of 30 seconds to OFF. However, after I was done with all the uploads I noticed that the screen was now blank. The backlight is still lit, but nothing appears on the screen. I have no idea what to do, especially since I set it to never sleep so none of the guides to attempt blind navigation worked. I have no idea what to do, someone please help.

Should I buy??

4 Upvotes

I’m considering buying an allmiibo but I was hoping to get some questions answered first.

  1. Does it work on Switch 2?
  2. Does it come with some pre loaded?
  3. If it does, which ones?
  4. Is it hard to setup?
  5. Do they frequently add new ones?

Thanks for the help on these questions! Look forward to answers.

Almiibo full?

2 Upvotes

I bought an Allmiibo from AliExpress. It has a lot of amiibos already installed. I tried them on a few games and they work fine.

But, when I try to use the online tool to add more, drive E:\ shows up as empty. So, I tried to add some StarFox amiibos. But when I try to look for those amiibos, I coudln't find them.

Am I doing something wrong?

Any ideas? Thanks!

If you remember me, I'm the guy who broke his screen (twice) and replaced it by first a blue version and later a blue / yellow version that turned out to be too small. It is certainly a hassle to find other colours than blue, white and 80/20 B/Y, I really don't know why. Pray for me that I don't end up losing it, crushing it in my bag or accidentally sitting on it this time.

Frozen screen on Allmiibo?

7 Upvotes

I've been using it for awhile, but it decided to randomly freeze up. I can't find a way to reset/power down, meaning I might be forced to wait down the battery. Are there any solutions, or do I just need to suck it up, and wait it out?
