They were just silly little forms released in 2004 that journalists could use to apply to get a Tamagotchi before its street release date - that way they had time to review the device, write up said review and publish it before its release.

All I heard about loociano was that he was personally worried about the threat of being sued, rather than him actually being sued. If anything, I would assume he'd receive a cease and desist takedown notice before stricter legal actions were taken, if any legal actions were even taken at all...

If that's the case, then perhaps I can also dig out one of my old PCs - if they still even work - and maybe I'll also be able to recover some Internet Explorer cache files - hopefully any which you aren't able to.

But is visiting the site enough? Surely, unless you'd saved the corresponding swf files then nothing from the site could be recovered? Unless I'm misunderstanding?

While I'm quite sceptical of this, I do think the topic of Tamagotchi Prototypes is an interesting one. Expanding upon what Penguin-keeper wrote above, test products were given out in the late 90s to see peoples' responses to Tamagotchis. It seems like a similar approach was taken when the...

A user in the Tamagotchi discord recently found some Tamagotchi patent files and digging through them revealed quite a number of interesting things!

Now we're in a place where, by my count, pretty much all Connection / Plus releases have at least one known ROM version associated with them, I thought I'd do a big update on all the known ROM versions so far across the entire Tamagotchi series. I've also got something else concerning the...

No, they're quite different. I think this might be what you're looking for: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/tamazone/catalog-of-meals-items-for-celebrity-v5-t19648.html Hope this helps!

Unlike a lot of things like debugging and region changing, accessing the test mode actually doesn't involve taking your Tamagotchi apart at all. It's designed to be a test that they can use in the factory and so by its very nature it's not intended to be something that harms your device...

So that's the Connection re-release rumours debunked then.  :P

Interesting! Definitely wasn't expecting it to be 21.

That'd be great, thanks! Since it's a Japanese version the test mode is probably activated with just the B, C and Reset buttons.

Performing the region change procedure on a V1 installed with ROM version 4.1 seems to change it to a new version - 2.3. This isn't a ROM version that had ever been encountered before, so it suggests that there might actually be quite a few more versions to encounter. 2.2, for example, is a gap...

Either a dropped character or an internally designed one that hasn't been made "public" yet! What I think is particularly interesting is how each region seems to have one character associated with it - America gets Nyatchi, Europe gets Pochitchi, and by the looks of it the Spanish language...

8.0 is a first wave Tamagotchi Friends (haven't seen a second wave ROM test just yet) and 9.0 is from the Dream Town Friends. I guess the character on the Friends screen is some sort of updated Nyatchi sprite, but I'm not certain. I don't have a clue who the mouse is though!

In case you're curious where we're up to with ROM versions now... There have been quite a few new version discoveries lately! There's a few gaps in the image where I think there's probably more versions, but it seems to be the case that most have been accounted for, now. There's a few...

An update to my previous post: Version 3.0 is actually not just a demo version - it's actually an unreleased Deka version. The Deka Tamagotchis were originally placed in stores and restaurants across Japan in 2004 and behaved exactly as I described above. The only key difference between these...

I've spoken to Natashenka a few times in the past, but not since I started examining passwords. It's definitely something I'm considering for the future, though it'd be a project that requires a lot of preparation and the right equipment. Rewarding, though!

And as I mentioned, the V3 doesn't have a login code. All the passwords corresponding to a given item will work every time, except for the items corresponding to parents and grandparents, travel tickets and the Tamagotchi king.

This is very helpful! Saves me having to type them into my spreadsheets ;) i see you've encountered the same xml files I did - I'm not sure why there's so many gaps but I assume an unfinished version of the xml was what was archived. Interestingly enough if you compare the ID numbers with the...
