Please note that the patch will do nothing if [[Wumiibo_3DS|wumiibo]] is enabled, ensure wumiibo is disabled before attempting to scan any Amiibo or NFC tag. | |||

'''Q. Why Use This Patch?''' | |||
When writing an Amiibo to a blank Ntag215 NFC tag using an app like [https://github.com/HiddenRamblings/TagMo TagMo], certain parts of the data—such as the Amiibo character ID, variant, figure type, model number, and series—become read-only. | |||
This means that if it's read-only, you cannot change the figure stored on the NFC tag, which therefore mean having to buy multiple tags for every Amiibo you want. | |||
'''Q. Why Not Just Use Wumiibo or re_nfpii?''' | |||
While apps like Wumiibo or re_nfpii can emulate Amiibos, they have some limitations. For example, certain games may experience severe lag or even fail to work when using these apps. This patch will allow you to use physical NFC tags, giving you the authentic Amiibo experience with a few more features. You can also share these rewritable tags with others who have the patch installed. | |||

FAQ
Q. Why Use This Patch?
When writing an Amiibo to a blank Ntag215 NFC tag using an app like TagMo, certain parts of the data—such as the Amiibo character ID, variant, figure type, model number, and series—become read-only.
This means that if it's read-only, you cannot change the figure stored on the NFC tag, which therefore mean having to buy multiple tags for every Amiibo you want.
Q. Why Not Just Use Wumiibo or re_nfpii?
While apps like Wumiibo or re_nfpii can emulate Amiibos, they have some limitations. For example, certain games may experience severe lag or even fail to work when using these apps. This patch will allow you to use physical NFC tags, giving you the authentic Amiibo experience with a few more features. You can also share these rewritable tags with others who have the patch installed.
Q. How Does the Patch Work? The patch modifies the NFC system module on your console to disable the checks that enforce read-only restrictions. By disabling these checks, this means you can have write-enabled tags and they would still work on consoles with the patch installed
This way, you can reuse a single NFC tag multiple times instead of being forced to lock it to one specific Amiibo. However, you'll need to rewrite the tag each time you want to change the Amiibo stored on it.
