The Dekas that I'm interested in are the store Dekas as opposed to the home Dekas, so we've already tested these. It can't hurt to test them again though? In which case you'd need to press B+C+Reset.

I feel like the main thing that would come out of performing the glitches during a ROM test is that it'd probably be more likely to fail the ROM test. As for debugging, I highly doubt it would have any effect on the glitches. It'll make changing characters easier and it certainly won't begin...

You don't need permission to join in! It'll be interesting to see what you find. A few pointers though: It's going to be difficult to get the hang of and you'll need some patience because most of the time I perform the glitches nothing interesting happens Expect the device to reset a lot...

So here's the interesting thing about the ball glitch: the items I get seem to be more or less the same every time I try it... and furthermore, doing things on the device seems to affect what items are currently present in the treats menu. For the purposes of this post I'll focus on the ball...

What makes you say the characters are Bill variants? They're humans, sure, but they're not really related to Bill in any way. Bandai Japan seems to have always been reasonably fond of Tamagotchi crossovers - even during the 90s there were a number of crossover devices (the Mothra, Genjintch and...

Following on from the previous post, sending the items to another device just seemed to convert them into generic gift items like cakes. Not that exciting. In other news, I've been finding that the Ball Glitch seems to be one of the bizarrest glitches attainable, with some of the most...

A small update - my V2 just evolved into an adult (after some very heavy abuse of the pause button, apparently) and I became able to use the glitch items. What did I find? To my surprise, the two items I was able to test had entirely different effects. Neither of the effects were very...

A few months back, in my password experimentation topic, user Eggiweg noted that whilst using an unfinished version of my password generator they'd managed to obtain "glitch souvenirs" - item IDs 114 - 127 would give the player a "souvenir" of sorts that looked like a small section of text taken...

Nobody really knows what was planned for the WTE but by the sounds of it it was going to be like a 6.5. All we ever heard about it was a press release confirming its existence, but later on in the year emails to Bandai customer support confirmed they never made production. It's a shame, I really...

I've gone over a few pieces of unused content on my ROM Versions thread, it's actually a fairly common feature of Tamagotchis! And a really fascinating feature, too. Strangely enough the Music Star also has a bunch of unused ticket items like the V2, though these tickets can be obtained using...

I doubt I'll experiment with the Friends. The battery type is entirely different so it doesn't really lend itself to the same effects that the CR batteries do - I'd think it'd be much harder to fiddle with the batteries in the same way you can on earlier models. The Friends ROM has been dumped...

It seems to be, yeah! It's definitely not the first time I've encountered battery-related glitches either, as I'm sure my devices have acted unusually after switching batteries before (I remember my Music Star actually dying as a result of one of these glitches - I swear, I didn't kill it!) One...

Hey look, it's hwd45 again. I wonder what weird topic he's starting this time? I think I'll have to start this with a bit of a disclaimer - I do not know the full extent of the procedure I'm showing off. As such, I cannot guarantee that this will not cause permanent damage to your device...

Has it not already been proven by this point that the MyMeets panic was largely fuelled by misinformation? As I recall, there were two ways in which the MyMeets application was incompatible with the main app: * Using MyMeets to obtain as-of-yet unreleased characters would cause the app to...

It's probably something I've done wrong - I think there might be extra information encoded into the password that I haven't accounted for. I think the character ID is supposed to go in there somewhere - probably in place of the random byte. As for the parent password, it's curious that you had...

The codes for these passwords are slightly different from other passwords in that the underlying "base" password has a 130 or a 131 instead of a 129, but otherwise they're basically the same as other passwords. You're correct in guessing, though, that the reason they don't work is that your...

One more update: I've figured out that one strange 0 / 1 (the leftmost byte) that seems to mess everything up - it turns out that after XORing out those extra 106's the checksum is calculated in basically the same way - after removing the username, the 106's and the 70's, the sum of the bytes...

It's been less than a day since my last update - normally I'd just edit my last post but I feel like it might be worth bumping the thread for this update. Unless I'm mistaken... I've figured out how the checksum works in the V3 passwords, thus cracking the algorithm. There's still more to...

Just to update, I haven't managed to make much password progress for a while. I think at this point generating more passwords and throwing things at the generator until something sticks will have to be the way forwards. Here's the current status of the password types I've been working on...

It's been a little while since my last update since, as I mentioned before, there aren't too many versions left to find. I've been trying to seek out owners of Dekatamas and Stations willing to ROM test their device. The rarity of these devices does not make this a particularly easy task...
