HOW TO HACK A TAMOGOTCHI

In this fascinating video, you can follow along as Natalie Silvanovich reverse engineers a Tamogotchi. Even if you have no interest whatsoever in this, you’ll probably pick up a trick or two by listening to her method in exploiting the Tamogotchi. She can now push her own images to the screen, and evolve her Tamogotchi at will.

Listening to her story you might be able to pick up a few tricks as she takes almost every angle possible. She uncovers the black blobs, she attempts to socially engineer her way into datasheets, decaps chips, she dumps and breaks down code. It is also worth noting that, in the beginning, internet electronics enthusiasts were adamant that it just had a PIC processor inside and they were wrong. Having an internet full of experts is a wonderful thing, except when it isn’t.

Many Tamogotchi’s were harmed in the making of this video ;)
