Debugging and modifying

- Opening a Tamagotchi Connection -
WARNING: Trying to debug or modifying your Tamagotchi using the tips and tricks in this entry is at your own risk! I did not test any of these methods or know how to fix certain issues. I just looked these things up on the internet.

Lately I have noticed a few videos on YouTube and some webpages where people explain how to modify or debug a Tamagotchi.

Debugging is when you find a way to enter a special mode on the Tamagotchi where you can actually choose what adult character you want and instantly get it. Sometimes this even gives you the ability to speed up time.

Modifying is when you insert certain hardware or software that is not from Bandai in order to make your Tamagotchi do things it would not otherwise be programmed to do.

Let's start with debugging. I got this process off pixelmood. Here, they explain how you unscrew two plates off the back of a Tamagotchi Connection and then use a pencil to rub on the little dot on the printingplate that says "debug" next to it. It works with multiple types of Tamagotchi's, but not all. The modern versions (P's and iDL's) need a modifying method to debug them. 

Then there are mods. The mod in the video below describes a way to download a game that will instantly give you 200GP without doing anything:


If you go to the YouTube channel of MstrBlinky you will find more video's of modifying  iDL's and P's.

You can also make custom backgrounds for older versions like the P1. The way to do this is again remove both plates on the back to reveal the printboard. You can then easily remove the background paper and change it for a different one. A step by step guide to do this can be found on Necrobones.

Again, all of this is at your own risk. I like my Tamagotchi's the way they are and don't like cheats. But it can ofcourse sprouse up your old Tamagotchi to where you like playing with it again.

Do you have any other good mod or debuggin tips? Share them in the comments below.
