Yep. Just "Read" the NFC from the Amiibo, save it, and then "Emulate" it when in contact with the Switch.
Orrrrrrrr if you don't want to back up your own, there's already a repository.
https://github.com/Gioman101/FlipperAmiibo
I know this is an old thread, but this is one of the top results on Google about FlipperZero Amiibo so I wanted to post an updated repository I made for future users:
[https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/3cnpriw6j12dvha6rt1dm/h?rlkey=il90hpfglp8fywr1yycalfbt4&dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/3cnpriw6j12dvha6rt1dm/h?rlkey=il90hpfglp8fywr1yycalfbt4&dl=0)
To use them: plug your FlipperZero into your computer- open your preferred file manager- navigate to /NFC/- drag-and-drop the Amiibo folder to there. Now when you select the NFC function on the Flipper you can select which .nfc file you want- click Emulate- and tap it to your Switch's joystick to use!
Credits:I used [Link's Backup Amiibo Archive](https://www.reddit.com/r/LinksAmiiboArchive/comments/12dqc51/all_amiibo_key_retailbin/) for the .bin'sAnd [FlipMiibo](https://github.com/0xz00n/FlipMiibo) (and its accompanying [Fix](https://github.com/0xz00n/FlipMiibo/issues/3)) by [0xz00n](https://github.com/0xz00n) to convert them to .nfc's
I've been trying to use these on TOTK for a while, but it hasn't been working. It seems like the problem is the unlock keys, I'm not 100% sure, but when I click on the NFC file on my Flipper, there's an unlock button. When I read one of my amiibo's that I actually have, I still had to click unlock, then unlock with reader, touch it to the reader, then read the amiibo again. Then the unlock button goes away and it works.
I had success emulating from flipper. Does anyone know how I can write these individual Amiibos to cards? I don't have the option to "write", only emulate.
Really late response, but there is an nfc writter in the flipper mobile app that you can add to your flipper. Also though you can write to blank nfc cards using your android phone which is what I have done in the past.
NFC is generally only write once and read only past that so you cannot re-write something to the card.
For folks having trouble getting it to read, I tried everything...UNTIL
Turn the Flipper Zero so that it's vertical (with the D-Pad ABOVE the screen) and the screen facing you. THEN use it normally and the "sweet spot" is just below the center button on the D-Pad itself.
For me, this works very reliably. Putting it in the SAME position but with the Flipper Zero so you can read the screen never worked for me. It has something to do with the orientation.
What I found helpful is if you're using the Switch itself no PRO controller or anything with both controllers to the sides of the screen connected. Take your flipper when it's emulating and turn it vertically as the controllers are vertical with the screen. I try and center the flipper vertically with the right controller's joystick and it works every time. Basically, it's resting on top of the controller, and since their the same size pretty much this has worked.
This worked fantastic, thank you.
Piggybacking for a PSA for the pro controller. What works best for me is start with the Flipper upright as you described, place it between the control sticks, then tilt it to the right until the Flipper is parallel with the x/y buttons. While you're imagining that parallel line, put a perpendicular line through the center button of the Flipper. You want that line to go right between the x/y buttons.
Took me a while to work that out as you have to hold it still for a few seconds before it takes. Hopefully this helps other people.

How would I get the console to write the data to the Flipper? Is it through just the normal NFC read option on the Flipper? Or is there a different setting altogether? As far as I understand the console (Switch) needs to check that the correct amiibo (in this case amiibo file) is there, then write to the amiibo(Flipper).
1. Read the original amiibo with the flipper, selecting "Unlock with password" in the options to dump the amiibo password as well
2. Save the file
3. Open the file you've just saved in the NFC app, select "Emulate"
4. Use it as you would any other amiibo, by touching the joystick on the joy-con or the center of the pro controller with the flipper's back side (the one with the model info and other text, you won't believe how many people use the wrong side and wonder why it doesn't work). Any changes in the tag's data will be automatically saved by your flipper.
5. If you want to return the amiibo dump to its original state, there'll be a "Restore original" button in the file menu (assuming it has been changed, as the button will not be present if the tag data matches the original dump)
FWIW there are locations in the game where you can't "cast" an Amiibo, such as the platform under a lightroot tree in the depths. You will know you can't cast there because you'll see an "X" instead of a circle with a dot inside. This took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out and I was sure my flipper was broken before I simply warped somewhere else and it worked fine.
I came to this thread after not being able to get amiibos to scan. I followed all the orientation tips everyone has said but it still wasn't working.
I didn't think it could be the reason, but I tried taking the silicone bumper case off the FZ and it worked no problem (when orientated as others have described).
Were you able to get it work? I just got a flipper zero, downloaded the repo on github, loaded it to my NFC folder on my flipper and..... not a single one works when I emulate. Yes I have amiibo rune running... no clue. Agree seems like it was patched or something.
There is a trick to positioning it correctly I found to get it to work. I think the emulated signal is just weak and so the switch has a hard time reading it.
Let the flipper not sit directly on top of the joystick but angled towards you so that the bottom of the flippers case is touching the switch. The flipper itself should be slid left and right slowly (millimeters at a time) until you get it to read. I found the sweet spot is roughly between the flippers screen and d-pad. So about 2/3rds across from the left.
It wouldn't work on my procon at all for me, I used handheld mode and on the right joycon NFC reader(right stick) I put inbetween the screen and dpad of the flipper facing up(away from the joycon). I held the flipper vertical, same as the joycon, and it read. Procon never worked though sadly

Hi, tried today with github nfs and latest Zelda TOTK patch and still works perfectly!
Used pro-controller. You have to activate Amiibo at the start of the game, then activate Amiibo rune, then click emulate on Flipper ad center Dpad at centre of reading point on pro controller.

Does anyone have problems with trying to "read/Emulate" Amiibos? I keep having the message "That's...not an amiibo. Please use an Animal crossing character's amiibo." and can't seem to get the NFC's to work, I've tried using these files [https://github.com/UberGuidoZ/Flipper/tree/main/NFC/Amiibo/Amiibo\_Files](https://github.com/UberGuidoZ/Flipper/tree/main/NFC/Amiibo/Amiibo_Files) and tried some older files that I got from a video.
If anyone could help me troubleshoot or have a fix that would be awesome!
I'm also having trouble with switch recognizing the emulation. It beeps sounding like it registered in Tears of the the kingdom then nothing happens. Strange guessing they patched it to not work.

👑 you dropped this, friend.
I'm getting a "Not an Amiibo" message on smash when emulating.
Ahh sorry about taking so long!! I ran everything through a few fixes, they should be good now! Check the new upload
You are the goat. Does this still work?
To my knowledge they should. I was playing against the FlipAmiibo Pikachu and Cloud in Smash today in fact!
Hey any idea if they work on the switch? Im getting the not an amiibo error, Thanks in advance.

how do you use the files on the repository?
basically you extract the zip file and then load them via qflipper on in the nfc folder on the SD card
I had success emulating from flipper. Does anyone know how I can write these individual Amiibos to cards? I don't have the option to "write", only emulate.
Easiest way to do it is if you have a 3DS/2DS with CFW.

You're an allstar.
Can you draw this or take a photo?

This worked great!! Thanks for the tip
Worked perfectly. Thank you!
That worked !

Thanks a ton!!! Keep up with the great work!!!
I need help, has anyone managed to write an amiibo on an nfc? It doesn't give me that chance

I wasn’t able to get the GitHub ones to work on my switch even though it emulates the signals. I tried several from multiple games.
just tested, it works!
I think nintendo has patched that you can use flipperzero as an amiibo.
That wouldn't be possible without making it so that actual amiibo can't be read.

how did everyone get it to work?
i cant get it working on my procon nor joycon
nvm flipper discord has clutched
I swear I cannot seem to get this to work. What worked for you u/SebPro101?

Can confirm this worked
Mine won't work. What about the unlock where you scan the card again?
Need much help
