Convert, duplicate, randomize. A tool for amiibo.
Reads .bin or .nfc-files, amiibo ID directly, or as a list from a .txt-file, and outputs it as a .bin or .nfc-file.
Does recursive scan of folders, where it outputs the new files in the same directory, or a new with the same folder structure.
Option to randomize UID, and make multiple outputs of the same source-file (for games like BOTW).
Run the script from the terminal, passing the following arguments:
-m required: mode to run, bin2bin, bin2nfc, id2bin, id2nfc, nfc2bin, or nfc2nfc. multiple files or strings can be parse at the same time, separated by space.
-i required: path, file or string to parse as input.
-o optional: path or file to write the output.
-r optional: randomize UID of the output.
-d optional: number of copies to write (-r is automatic set when running this).
-v optional: display more info when running, -vv for even more info.
-h display the help text.
examples:
python AmiiboConverter.py -m bin2nfc -i bin -o nfc will convert all .bin-files found in the folder ./bin, convert them to .nfc, and store them in a folder called ./nfc
python AmiiboConverter.py -m id2bin -i id.txt -d 3 will take all the amiibo ID found in id.txt, and make 3 new .bin-files (with random UID) per ID found.
When inputing amiibo ID, filename can be set by adding name and a semicolon before the ID. Like Luigi:0x00010000... or Daisy:00130000037a.., same goes for .txt-files, where one ID per line applies as well. If no name is added, the ID will be used as filename.
Below is an example of running this project as a Docker/Podman container.
If you have backed up Amiibo data you may have a directory that looks like the following:
❯ tree ~/Downloads/amiino-tloz
/Users/v1k0d3n/Downloads/amiino-tloz
├──-BotW
│ ├── Bokoblin.bin
│ ├── Daruk.bin
│ ├── Guardian.bin
│ ├── Link (Archer).bin
│ ├── Link (Rider).bin
│ ├── Mipha.bin
│ ├── Revali.bin
│ ├── Urbosa.bin
│ └── Zelda.bin
You can run the container like this (taking note of the volume mount):
podman run -v /Users/v1k0d3n/Downloads/amiino-tloz:/opt/AmiiboConverter/data \
quay.io/v1k0d3n/amiiboconverter:latest \
-m bin2nfc -i BotW -o ./nfc/BotW
Which will result in the following:
❯ tree ~/Downloads/amiino-tloz

Python 3.8 or newer
You need the libraries in requirements.txt, install them using something like python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
For anything but pure bin-to-nfc / nfc-to-bin conversion, you need the correct decryption keys in the same folder as the script, these are files commonly called unfixed-info.bin and locked-secret.bin. A merged version of these files called key_retail.bin can also be used. These files are not provided.
Keep a backup of your source files, whether it be .bin or .nfc. This tool can overwrite your files. Generated files with a random UID are working at the moment, but they may not work in the future.
