![]() It also has a (in my opinion) better interface but most importantly works with our ACR122u. This will install Mifare Windows Tool, a translation of MifareOneTool which is in Chinese. Time for the actual program we will use – Navigate toĪnd run the setup file. Now, all of the drivers we need are installed. Just continue clicking Next until it finishes. Click through, DO NOT check anything extra if given the option. This will install the USB drivers we need. Click through and let the program install the ACR driver. Run the setup.exe file, and follow the instructions. zip file you downloaded earlier, and navigate to the following path: Now, we need to install the necessary software to actually use our ACR122u. If you want to convert them yourself, I made a tutorial for that too: …nder-bin-FilesĪnd, for transparency sake, I will include the work I based my script off of in the Skylander Toolkit.zip file linked above. bin files themselves will NOT work with an ACR122u without conversion. I’ve gone ahead and made a script based on work I found online to convert them automatically, and you can download the CONVERTED collection below: The NFC Bank collection will NOT work with our off the shelf writer without some conversion. bin files originally intended for use by the Maxlander software. NFC-Bank has a fantastic collection which you can find on this website, and is the most complete to date. This is the data dumped off of Skylanders. Also, I take no credit for the tools present in this collection, all credit goes to their original authors and if any of them contact me I will gladly put donation info here. If you get an error, try an updated build of MWT (the software we will use in a later step), which you can find here. Note: This will eventually be outdated, as it includes tools currently in development. zip file of everything we will need in terms of software, called Skylanders Toolkit. But for now, I’ve gone ahead and created a. Note: The password to all files is my usernameĮventually I’ll get around to making an “all in one” tool that guides users through the entire process and is bundled into a single executable. Either generation will work for this tutorial, so don’t worry if you see “gen 1” or “gen 2” in seller descriptions. Lastly, there are two “generations” of Magic Cards. However, if you see the card described in any of these ways, avoid them: The following extra descriptors are bonuses if you want to be certain you’re getting a tag capable of cloning: There is no 100% certain way to identify the kind of tags we need, but they NEED to be described like this: I would advise ordering tags off of Amazon due to the generous return policy for first-time buyers, and ONLY using AliExpress if you are 100% confident in what you are getting. So, we need special “magic” tags made by Chinese manufacturers where block 0 is blank and able to be written to.īut we run into an issue – sellers on ebay, amazon, and aliexpress all mis-indentify tags and use a million different, sometimes meaningless or deceptive, ways to describe them. block 0 is special because it contains the unique UID number of the tag, and guess what Skylanders games use to identify skylanders – that’s right, the UID. This means that the block cannot be written over or changed. “Normal” NFC tags have the first block, block 0, locked by the factory. ![]() Skylander toys in particular use the Mifare Classic standard, which divides each tag’s storage into sectors and blocks. Without getting too technical, Skylanders and other NFC toys use NFC tags to transmit information. This is the most confusing part of the tutorial. Again, I cannot stress this enough, buy an ACR122u for the easiest time. For more advanced NFC work you might want to get the proxmark3 or Chinese GRID PN532 but we won’t need them here. However, the ACR122u is cheaper and more readily available. There are many other NFC writers on the market the PN532 and proxmark3 come to mind. Due to availability, price, and ease of use reasons I strongly recommend you purchase an ACR122u. The ACR122u is the tool we will use to write data to our fake skylanders, and is easy to buy on Amazon or AliExpress. I will try to make this as straightforward as possible:īefore we begin, you must acquire four things: We will only be using GUIs on Windows, so no Linux, command prompt, or coding experience is required. Hello fellow skylander enthusiast! If you’ve been searching for a way to clone any skylander to 10 cent NFC cards or modify their data (modify data coming soon), look no further! This is the one-stop, easy tutorial for making skylanders yourself using bin files on the internet.
