    Also, a brief update because this has been on my mind for a bit. This topic alone is useful in providing insight into what's still lost, but I do intend on making more comprehensive documentation soon so that it's very clear how the site was structured when it was up and running. I'll be...

    V3 Password Experimentation

    As per my previous post I'm now finally taking another crack at Music Star passwords. I've actually managed to make some progress recently and I'm starting to get an idea of how the data is laid out in the password - the next steps are to map out the data, identify how the usernames work and...

    Hello everyone! Today I've got a treat for you all, courtesy of Wolf Nanaki (a.k.a. OsuMesu21). Whilst digging through some of their files, they found a number of previously lost character swf files and location mp3s. This is a small step, but it's significant one, nonetheless! I guess the...

    I think I'd already sent Binary a message by the time I wrote that paragraph. He's not particularly easy to contact. As I recall, he was around in a few old threads where people discussed how to download the character SWFs and I think some of the music too. To me, this would certainly suggest...

    Battery Glitches, Glitch Items and Unused Content

    Here's some of the most exciting things I noticed within the video :)   Unusual Shop Items - V2 5:29 - An unknown item using a V1 food sprite (for egg sushi) It's unclear if this is a glitch item or a totally unused but fully programmed one Glitch Items - V2 14:38 -...

    Archiving Tamatown

    In case anyone was wondering where I am with this, some life things came up which have taken a lot of my focus away from Tamagotchi research for the time being (it's nothing serious or negative, just some exciting research in a different field!) That said, I did buy a whole bunch of equipment...

    That's likely not an issue of the revival, though, considering others have had it work with no complaints. The most likely issue, I would speculate, is that your device just doesn't support it. Regardless, that's something that should be taken up with the creator of the recreation rather than here.

    Well, yes, that's why a recreation was produced. The WayBack variant of Dream Town won't work due to the servers being taken down, but the revival will.

    I won't really be focusing on Dream Town in this thread because it's not really my thing. That said, Silica made a full recreation a while back because a lot of the relevant files were saved.

    I think the most that most people will be able to do is spread awareness! A lot of these files, I think, will be found through checking old internet caches, so hopefully spreading awareness will help find more people who once played Tamatown and are willing to look through their old caches...

    Thank you! --- I had intended on doing more frequent updates on this post, but something else in my life kind of got in the way of that. Regardless, I've got some details planned for a future post on the V6/7 Tamatown which I'm sure people will find interesting. I've also bought some equipment...

    That won't be necessary, as I've said the links are only a small part of this as the main purpose of this thread is for me to log the archived files, post my findings and inform others of how they can do the same.

    Okay, I'll be making a few edits to ensure the Tamatown versions aren't being mixed. Just to be clear, only the V3/4 Tamatowns shared files with eachother - V5, V6/7 and V8/9 (Dream Town) were all entirely different entities. ----- Anyway, it probably won't need saying but I'll just remind...

    Anywhere you want - a google doc would be a good idea, but honestly you can just post them here if you want.

    The "Where do we go from here?" section of the post above lists the main things that can be done to help. If you never used Tamatown while it was active, though, there's not much that can be done. Though perhaps building up links to videos on Tamatown would be a good idea - it's actually...

    Archiving Tamatown

    For a few months now I've been working on projects outside of Tamagotchi and so I haven't really been thinking about Tamagotchi a great deal. One thing that always pulls me back, though? Tamatown. Cracking passwords was so 2019. Let's take a look at what made Tamatown what it was, and where it...

    V3 Password Experimentation

    It's been a while since the item password algorithm was cracked and I'm not actively working on cracking the other password types at the moment but thanks anyway :) ----- Actually, on that note, it's probably worth saying that while I'm not currently working on them, I do intend on cracking...

    V3 Password Experimentation

    Ahh, that's awesome! I think there's a few more glitch souvenir sprites that I've not had the time to personally try out myself, as I recall, so they might be an addition for the future. And yeah, I think there must still be a bit of a mystery surrounding the ticket items and souvenirs. I'm...

    New V1 Growth Chart

    You know I really miss the days when people would all make their own growth and item charts for everyone to use - it's nice to see people continuing that tradition to this day :)

    Yeah, I'm quite aware of the names now - it's been over a year since that post ;)
