Looks like Mr.Blinky has cracked the code on the Tamagotchi M!X. If you want free Gotchi Points with little work, look no further than the EZGotchi Code Generator. It’s super easy to use too, simply visit the heart menu option on your Tamagotchi M!X, and choose PIC.

Mr. Blinky is always up to some cool stuff, and he’s a key member of the Tamagotchi community. You may know Mr. Blinky for their work with Tamagotchi P’s VDP’s, but Mr. Blinky has a large skillset that benefits the Tamagotchi community! Mr. Blinky just got their hands on the brand new Tamagotchi Pix that was just release yesterday in North America. Wasting no time, Mr. Blinky has already used his tools to tear down the latest Tamagotchi to see what’s inside, and they seem pretty excited!

So what did Mr.Blinky find in the new Tamagotchi Pix? Let’s take a look. In order for Mr.Blinky to get to the guts of the Tamagotchi Pix they had to drill a hole in the top of the shutter, jokingly calling this “brain surgery”. Once the hole was drilled the the shutter comes off by removing another glued support. Then the shell needs to be removed, which means a lot of screws need to be removed, seven to be exact. Like the Tamagotchi Friends and Tamagotchi On devices, the PCB (printed circuit board) is soldered to the battery box, Mr.Blinky believes this may be due to not needing cables, or maybe to reduce radio interference, or maybe even just to deter disassembly.

After heating up the soldering iron Mr.Blinky popped out the PCB which is when the fun begins. The circuit board, the vertical row seems to be for accessing the SPI memory, and there appears to be some debug pads for the MCU (multipoint control unit). Mr.Blinky was also able to remove the camera, and the plastic around the LCD screen. Under the LCD screen you will see there is no black block of expoxy, bu rather a genuine chip, yay for silicon! It’s a GPL32610B chip from General Plus, ARM7 CPU with up to 96mhz (it may be under clocked) There is also 32KB of internal RAM with embedded 4M x16-bit SDRAM.

The touch buttons, camera, and LCD splay are connected with FPC (flexible printed circuit) cables, which makes disassembly much cleaner, and easier. Now Mr.Blinky takes the Tamagotchi Pix and connects it up to their modded Arduboy for dumping, which will give them access to the data on the device itself, such as sprites and more. It appears that the dumping was successful, and Mr.Blinky was able to get the 8MB dump done in just 42.24 seconds, and Mr.Blinky will be analyzing the data.

Mr.Blinky wastes no time! It’s only been two weeks since Mr.Blinky got their hands on the Tamagotchi Pix and starting dissecting it to get a hold of the programming. With one mission in mind, understanding the code behind the device and unlocking all of the treasures! Successful in the mission, Mr.Blinky has released a Tamagotchi Pix Download Catalog on their website which will allow you to browse all meals, snacks, items, accessories, furniture, livings, and special items.

Did you know that the Uratama is celebrating its 15th anniversary? Mr.Blinky would love to celebrate the Uratama, and to do so they have released a Uratama themed VDP+ (virtual deco pierce plus).

It’s officially summer, and Mr. Blinky wants to celebrate with the latest VDP (virtual deco pierce) for the Tamagotchi P’s! This time Mr. Blinky has crafted up a VDP with some cute summer content, and Chunchuntchi, the adorable bird from the Hoshi de Hakken!! Tamagotchi PlayStation game from 1998.

We knew it wouldn’t be log before the hackers of the Tamagotchi community got their hands on the Tamagotchi Pix and worked their magic. It looks like there are several members of the community already hard at work dissecting the Pix and getting their hands on the formula that creates Tama Codes. This could uncovers lots of Tama Codes to scan which will create playdates, give gifts, and more.

It looks like Sudo the Caralynx has gotten into the programing enough to run a debug console, formulate some code and generate some Tama Codes which can be scanned using the built-in camera. Sudo the Caralynx teases that they’ve figured out most the fields currently used for Tama Codes, and that a generation library and program should be created soon. In terms of the actual values there’s still some digging left sine they refer to specific Tamagotchi’s and items. Sudo the Caralynx has also posted a rendering of the Tama Code generator in a recent tweet.

To no ones surprise, Mr.Blinky is also working their magic on the Tamagotchi Pix. Mr.Blinky has partnered with Sudo the Carlynx and Natalie Silvanovich, a well known Tamagotchi hacker in the community. Through their work they were able to dig through the programming of the Pix and reveals graphics and more. It looks like they also got their hands on Tama Codes, and Mr.Blinky has posted two Tama Codes on their social media platforms for both french fries & a palm tree which are both retrievable through the download option under the connection menu on the Tamagotchi Pix. Mr.Blinky also teases in a tweet that they’re already working on posting these Tama Codes on their website for download, and teases an image. Through Mr.Blinky’s data dump of the Pix, lots of items have been revealed which may be a spoiler for some.
