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.
