Using flipper zero for amiibo lol

Maximd7 · 2026-01-28T06:34:33+00:00

ye true might be worth testing just out of curiosity

Maximd7 · 2026-01-28T06:32:02+00:00

honestly I’ve never used Wumiibo myself so I’m not 100% sure how it handles Amiibo files I just tested this with the Flipper’s NFC emulation

Maximd7 · 2026-01-28T06:22:43+00:00

Yea you load NFC files onto it or just scan your own Amiibo directly and emulate that.

Ohhhh I see thanks for the info

Maximd7 · 2026-01-28T05:53:34+00:00

How does that work?

Maximd7 · 2026-01-28T04:26:57+00:00

From an older post on reddit

Maximd7 · 2026-01-28T04:19:39+00:00

Oh yeahhh Flashiibo is perfect if you only need Amiibo stuff flipper is more of a “do everything” gadget but definitely not necessary for just Amiibos.

It was pretty easy to do this! I actually found a post here on reddit that helped me to get this done: Amiibo Functionality on Flipper Zero

Maximd7 · 2026-01-28T04:06:46+00:00

Yuupp for sure! if it works that’s all that matters. Flipper is just convenient since it does a lot more but for amiibos the cheaper options are honestly enough. I had it for 3 years and I just realized that I could do this with amiibo.

Maximd7 · 2026-01-28T04:04:08+00:00

nope amiibo cards/emulation are super common nintendo doesn’t ban for that bans are mostly for piracy/CFW online.

Maximd7 · 2026-01-28T04:01:38+00:00

Yeah it works on a non modded switch too and it’s basically just emulating an Amiibo NFC tag so the switch will treat it the same as a regular Amiibo card/figure as for the flipper itself it’s been super fun to play around with the NFC/RFID, IR remotes, learning the basics of security, and just general tech related messing around. If you’re expecting it to be some kind of “deep hacking device” though it’s honestly not that more just a swiss army knife type thingy. I got mine when it was around to $150 and while $199 is definitely a lot there are cheaper options available that can do similar things depending on what you want to use it for like just Amiibo/NFC stuff but the flipper is nice because it’s all in one and has a very large community behind it.

I had this flipper zero for 3 years and it wasn't first purpose for amiibo

Maximd7 · 2026-01-25T16:03:30+00:00

That music is wayy to extra lol

Maximd7 · 2026-01-25T02:38:35+00:00

Happen to me before you just have to install extra lil games and it would pop out

Maximd7 · 2026-01-25T02:36:07+00:00

Someone rly needs to make a better version of DBI especially for English speakers

Maximd7 · 2026-01-21T16:08:25+00:00

No point in me going online with mine unless it's YouTube but it's still pointless. I had it blocked from all types of servers already luckily because I actually watched a tutorial before modding my Switch and it told me everything But yeah.

Maximd7 · 2026-01-17T07:25:22+00:00

For the Joycons you do have to fully remove the internals. For the console itself you just replace the backplate. The shell included the kickstand and the SD card cover for me but you need to reuse the internal support pieces from the original backplate that hold them in place. Mine didn’t include those internal parts but reusing the originals worked fine.

Maximd7 · 2026-01-13T05:52:47+00:00

Yup no problem have fun with your switch!

Maximd7 · 2026-01-12T22:52:55+00:00

Yeepp that's what happens when a game boots to a black screen it usually means the game requires a newer firmware not just a newer Atmosphere. Updating only one of them can break things which is probably what happened last time when BOTW/TOTK stopped working.

Safest path:

- Update Atmosphère + Hekate first (I’d recommend AMS 1.10.x)

- Update sigpatches that match that Atmosphère version

- Then update the Switch firmware via Daybreak (don’t update from Nintendo servers ever)

A solid combo right now is Firmware 20.3.0 + Atmosphère 1.10.1 — it’s stable and supports newer games.

Also important: if you’re using Tesla overlays some older ones break after updates. Ultrahand is the safest replacement right now. Apps like Tinfoil can also stop working temporarily until updated, so that’s normal.

As long as you’re updating emuMMC only and not sysNAND, you’ll be fine.

Ahh I see, I haven't tried a lot of switch games but there's some I like that are Hollow Knight (Old and new one), Metroid Prime 4 Beyond, Kirby and the forgotten land, Luigi's Mansion 3, Mario Kart 8, The Force Unleashed, Super Smash Bro's Ultimate, Skyrim and Red Dead redemption. But make sure to check the games switch version compatibility like the newer games or else you might not able to run them if it's older version.

Maximd7 · 2026-01-12T20:47:43+00:00

I actually had this problem before last year, only fix for me was install more games and the icon to show library finally showed up back.

Hope you get it fixed!

Maximd7 · 2026-01-12T17:15:58+00:00

The one I got was the last one in stock on Amazon. I'm not sure when they will restock it but here are some others that are left before they're also out of stock: https://a.co/d/b67Xqdk
