How to make Skylanders NFC Cards! (Covers making, resetting, traps and swappers)

In this guide I'll show you how to make skylanders nfc cards, reset them, how to make straps and how to make swappers. If you want more details you can watch my youtube video here:


Requirements (Links for amazon are examples you don't have to buy exactly those)
  1. Install the drivers for your NFC Reader/Writer
For example look for cards/tags that have these 3 things in their name:

Making NFC Cards
  1. Install and open MifareWindowsTool and put your NFC Tag/Card on your Reader, now press READ TAG and then Start decode & Read tag if a window pops up called Dump then press Close, but if it didn't and you got an error try again until it works and try re-plugging your NFC Reader.
  2. Now press WRITE TAG and click No if it asks to Decrypt now make sure under Tag Type chinese magic unlocked/gen1 is automatically checked if it isn't you need te redo step 1 again until it is.
  3. Now under Source dump select a dump file you've downloaded from The Vault and press Start Cloning if it says Finished and in the console it says Done, 64 of 64 blocks written. then it worked if it didn't go to the resetting step and after that try again.
  4. Now use it as you would use a regular Skylander!

Resetting
  1. Open MifareWindowsTool and click TOOLS / OPTIONS then Change UID and set the New UID to 00000000000000000000000000000000 and check Format tag now click Change UID.
  2. If it says UID: --> 00000000! then it worked, if it says something else reopen MifareWindowsTool and try re-plugging your NFC Reader and retry step 1.

Making Traps
  1. Follow Making NFC Cards until step 3 but instead of selecting a Skylander select a trap from The Vault dump files.
  2. Put the NFC Card/Tag on the portal when trying to trap a villain, not in the trap slot just on the portal like a normal Skylander.

Making Swappers
The process for making swappers is almost the same as for regular skylander but you need 2 cards/tags, 1 for the top and the other for the bottom so just follow Making NFC Cards twice.
