Hi all, This is just going to be a brief update because naturally I don't really have any newly recovered files or anything like that to show just yet (working on it!) What I am attempting to do, however, is spread some awareness about how some of these files may be recovered. I think...

Another brief update - I've begun work on a site specifically dedicated to documenting all of what is currently archived of Tamatown. I've got an early version ready to view for those that want to see it, but I'll hold off from posting it publicly until it's a bit more fleshed out. I'm hoping...

Really glad you like it! --- I've been taking a bit of a break from a lot of this stuff lately - though I was looking at Music Star passwords last summer, I started to hit some roadblocks and eventually my focus was switched to another large-scale project which involved most of my free time...

The Sound Test is also present on a number of the Nano devices :)

Ahh, that would make sense! Though I’m not sure why 2 was seemingly skipped, unless they were reserving a spot for a localisation in a language they’d not done before, or something.

Ah apologies, my mistake. The numbers I put in for Ver 1 and 3 should’ve been switched :)

Good question :)  so far none of the American devices I’ve seen have any way to enable the feature unfortunately. I’m trying to make a catalogue of Tamagotchi boards though, and I have noticed that some devices do have some extra spots on the board which aren’t shorted which could potentially...

This one time it came up as “H00 B01” and my brain was absolutely convinced it was saying “HOO, BOY” :D

Indeed this is the ROM test mode on the rerelease P1/2 models :)  as I recall, the versions are as follows: Ver 0 - P1, Japan Ver 1 - P2, Japan Ver 3 - P1, International Ver 5 - P2, International The frequency is, I think, likely related to the frequency the Crystal oscillator is...

I’ll send over the details in a DM :)  looking forward to seeing any progress you might make with the V3 ROM stuff!

Hello  :) So, one of the discoveries I'm about to talk about is - and I don't think I'm exaggerating here - one of the most bizarre and significant discoveries that I think we've made in years. Not only does it present new features we've never seen before, but it throws a lot of what we...

Following on from this, there's been a few more findings since my last post, and right now I'm testing out a huge swathe of glitch items to show their effects. Turns out I managed to get lucky enough to give myself about 50 or so glitch items, and it's revealed some interesting information. May...

This is an extremely brief update to say that I’ve been getting back into battery glitches again lately, and there’s been some really interesting findings so far. One other user managed to find some really interesting unused functionality using battery glitches, so once a bit more research is...

Yeah, so, this is a new trademark that's just emerged: https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/designs/008272074-0001 I want to begin by making it quite clear that this has not been confirmed for a European market. The website that listed it is a European Union property office, but this...

At one point I was considering starting a project to take photos of all different kinds of boards to look for differences like this. Maybe if I get around to it I'll work a bit more on that project soon. Ah yeah, there's definitely some unused menus and things. I wonder if any of the cut...

Hmm, that's a good point. I think the Keitai can be debugged using soldering as I recall? There's definitely a debug jumper that's a rectangle shape rather than a circle shape on some Keitai boards. As I recall, there's also one of these on some 2.0 European V1s too, though I'm not sure they've...

Unfortunately it seems like one of the big obstacles getting in the way of us dumping any of them is the huge glob of epoxy covering the microcontroller. As I recall, for the Tama-Go and the Friends, the microcontroller was identified by removing the epoxy using acid and then the figures and...

So old topics usually take the form https://tama-zone.com/index.php?showtopic=$TOPIC Where $TOPIC is the topic ID. To get a link that works with the new site, try something like: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/tamazone/-t$TOPIC.html So for...

There's bound to be some sales information out there, but it might require some digging. If you do find anything interesting I'd love to see it!

I think this is likely to be right - it's worth noting that they're still doing this now. If I link to one of the P1/2 re-release shells, for example, you'll see each one has an "Item Number". This too - the number printed into the back of the shell matches a production date in the following...
