I’m recently working on a project that can read/write amiibo information using iPhone. You can download it from the App Store. This article is a simple tutorial for people who are not familiar with amiibo duplication.
Preparation
Skip this section if you understand what kind of NFC tag can be used for amiibo.
First, you need to prepare compatible NFC tags. Amiibo data can only be store in an unlocked NTAG215 NFC tag. Once the amiibo data is successfully written into the You tag, this amiibo card is locked. You can not write different amiibo data.
If you are sure you’re using a compatible tag, you can go to the next step. AmiiBot provides a tool to check if your tags are compatible. You can go to Settings -> NFC FAQ to check your tags. If it says ‘Blank NFC Tag,’ it means you can use this tag.
Duplication
To make a custom amiibo card, you can use data from either your amiibo collections or the library. The library data is from the AMIIBO DATABASE by N3evin&CheatFreak.
Tap the amiibo you want to copy, and you will see a radio shaped button. Tap it, and the AmiiBot will initiate an NFC session for writing. You need to put your compatible NFC tag on the back on your phone. Your custom amiibo card will be available after the session is completed.
Troubleshooting
You may encounter the following errors when duplicating amiibos. Don’t worry. You can still use your tag for the next write if duplication is incomplete.
Connection Error : This means you are moving the NFC tag too fast. AmiiBot doesn’t have enough time to write data.
Unsupported NFC tag : This means your tag is not an amiibo compatible tag. More specifically, your tag is not an NTAG215 tag.
Not Blank NTAG215 : This means you already have some amiibo data stored in this tag. You can’t change it to another amiibo.
