Warning: Do not debug Tamas, whatever you do!

[dazzilitchigirl]

It is a horrible experience debugging Tamas and I want to warn everyone not to do it. Most of the time the Tama will break in a bad way. Count yourself lucky if yours just broke suddenly - my V6 glitched for a few months, then died for no reason with weight 99 lbs when I changed the battery, and shortly after kept resetting every five minutes and eventually broke whilst screaming its sound wires off with the screen and icons black! The other one has the icons shown in the right places but used upside down, which means when I press the A button, an area where the attention icon should be is highlighted, and when I press B, it goes to the health meter. My debugged V3 needs my dad to hold it together by pressing really hard on it, and even so it presses buttons by itself and goes on hyperspeed.

Please vote in the poll too!

Well I tried to debug this old v4.5 I had.... It didn't make it... Probably because it started beeping really weirdly

I wanted to try debugging with a V1 I had. It worked sucessfully. I took it off successfully, I didn't try it again because it wouldn't be much fun if you got to keep your pet for like, 8 minutes...

I debugged an old V1 that I found at a thrift store once. It was scratched up already and looked rather battered so I figured I didn't have much to lose. Debugging it was interesting. I didn't try to reverse the process, though - I simply labeled the back of it with the word 'DEBUGGED' and set it aside. A few weeks later it started making a constant, extremely high-pitched tone that I couldn't quite place until I figured out it was one of my Tamagotchis. I then removed the battery and haven't touched it since.

I tried to debug my v2 but the screws are too tight.

As long as you really understand what you are doing, it's fine. The ones out now aren't debuggable as far as I know. You just need to know how and what versions are debuggable.

From all the stories I heard, debugging is bad. I have never debugged a tama and I never will. If it ain't broke don't fix it. :mimitchi:

i like my tamas too much to debug them or risk ruining them. so i've never tried it.
