Today the GBATemp user Ac_K released the first public alpha version of AmiiBomb — the Windows application which makes amiibo cloning fast and easy.

Here are some details from his post:

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
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 to the PC by USB and That’s all! (Guys with soldering skills already know that but I prefer explain for anyone!)

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 dump (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 in AmiiBomb. For Copyright, we can’t distribute them, but there is many place to found them. AmiiBomb send you to the right website, you juste have to highlight the keys chars and copy them to the Clipboard, AmiiBomb check if a valid keys was inside, and ask you to 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 the Arduino IDE or using the Flasher Program in AmiiBomb.

What is done?

– Grab info of an Amiibo Dump via 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:/)
– Extract and Write AppData of an Amiibo Dump (partially done).
– Help to found Amiibo Keys and Autodetect them in Clipboard for save them in file (a bug need to be fixed).
– Multilanguages (Right now english and french, contact me if you want to translate it).
– 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.
– AppData Swap before create Tag.

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.
– Do it Open Source.

Release

AmiiBomb 0.1 Alpha

In a future, I would own an N2 and a PowerSaves to add many functionality as possible in AmiiBomb. If you have any kind of ideas or suggestions, just let me know!

Thanks.

I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but this tool looks promising!
