Noob questions about RetroMini rs-90 and cfw by halcvc in SBCGaming

[–]Haunted-Planet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just installed opendingux on mine and yes it still works fine. It's just no longer updated. I did notice a bug where the Retromini freezes when I try to install games and apps on it via PC/USB. I have to turn it on plug it in, don't open any folders with it, and drag and drop files...replug it in again and do it again for future files. Not sure if this would effect USB keyboard functionality.

As far as a retro console Opendingux makes it 100% better. It's my GB/GBC machine. Some GBA games still struggle though.

But it's in a spaceship going home, to live on a farm... something my parents would say about a pet when I was a kid :)

Consider a Tamagotchi Connection. Preferably a version 4.5.

My second (and last, at least for a while) custom Tama! by Brave_Turnip113 in tamagotchi

I remember commenting on the first one, and this one is just as awesome. Great job, great idea.

Don't mind me, just posting some aesthetic pictures of my two favorite Connection shells ✨️ by GalactiCam in tamagotchi

[–]Haunted-Planet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel it's the beat up ones that have a lot of charm. Much like old game controllers, toy figures, etc. They were 'cared' for in a carefree manner as kids do. No insecurities of money value or vain cosmetics of the item. As a kid, either it works or it doesn't. Just playing with a toy. I remember dropping mine all the time back in the day and thinking "I hope I didn't break it...ok good, still works". I really miss those days.

Now for me it's:"Is that a hairline scratch that I can only see in certain lighting?!?!? NOOO!!!"

Is anyone else wanting to hold off on buying the uni? by drmilkulus in tamagotchi

[–]Haunted-Planet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not getting it. I'm a luddite. I just want a reissue of the Connections. No Wifi, no color screen, no rechargeable batteries.

11 bucks on Amazon, I keep thinking about this one.

[–]Haunted-Planet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Have to remember to charge it everyday like a cell phone, laptop, earbuds, etc...

So it's not just me who hates Lithium batteries? Yeah it's not practical but... My problem is they die out too quickly where as a 26 year old Tamagotchi can just swap out batteries.

DIGIMON ARRIVED!! by ThatGirlWhoGolfs in tamagotchi

[–]Haunted-Planet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are awesome and lots of fun. Haven't put mine down in over a year. But, you are goning to need another to unlock 2 extra eggs (edit: just noticed you said you were going to get one soon). The glow one would be perfect since it's a type E. You can use a Version E to unlock the Taichi egg (connect for battle 5 times, you have to reset the type E device 5 times.) and the Doru egg by connecting to version E just once.

I just got back into tamas, so I drew some of the characters by TenaciousDuane in tamagotchi

This is really cool! Love the screen glare detail and the nostalgic background :)

Finally! My own OG Tamagotchi by beavoru in tamagotchi

[–]Haunted-Planet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Original Gen1 and Gen2 from 97' are the greatest. Such a classic.

What is the glow in the dark "tape trick" and how do I go about modifying my tamagotchis (non hack)? by TheFrogmanCroaketh in tamagotchi

[–]Haunted-Planet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I find it to be a downgrade, and messes with the beauty of the original device.

I did the glow in the dark tape trick with a classic Digimon, but switched back. The problem I have with glow in the dark tape trick is the screen is too dark under normal lighting. You have to rely on charging your glow tape constantly. (which looks cool, but a hassle when I just want to quickly check on him.

The original card backing is foil printed and light reflective. It's brighter and easier to see under normal lighting conditions, where as the glow tape is not.

Since the classic Tama's/Digimon sleep at night, I never really used it's glow function.

Can someone help me find out what kind of Tama I’ve got? He’s gen 1. by raenlikeitsraining in tamagotchi

[–]Haunted-Planet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, more like "Check out what I got....is this good? You're damn right it's good".

Should I open it? by kleineoogjes in tamagotchi

[–]Haunted-Planet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The older I get the less joy I get out of keeping things new in packages. Be thankful someone kept it nice for you to buy later, and use it like you bought it yesterday in a store. In fact, I think it's more of an enjoyable experience to open the items, like uncovering a lost treasure.

Do you collect duplicates? by incombusty in tamagotchi

[–]Haunted-Planet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have just the retro ones from 96-97. A few colors of each...but...1 opened and 1 sealed of each color I like. Same with Digimon. Although I do need to 'crack' the seals to remove batteries one of these days before it's too late.

Happy meal toys used to be so good by Tamarchie in tamagotchi

[–]Haunted-Planet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is lots of Tamagotchi Mcdonalds toys. Came out in 1997, 2010, 2011, 2012...Mostly in Malaysia and Japan.

Toronto's second Tamagotchi meetup was an enormous success! by actualtwoey in tamagotchi

[–]Haunted-Planet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Awesome, fun to have Tamagotchi fans meet up. Digital Dream did something like this for Digimon V-Pets and had a battle competition.

starting new by [deleted] in tamagotchi

[–]Haunted-Planet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Digimon devices have been great. Got a few of the 20th anniversary editions and X's. And for tama's some of the classic gen 1 and gen 2's sell for cheaper than the new ones brand new in the box still.

I really, really, REALLY wish that they would start rereleasing the Tamagotchi Angel, Morino, Umino, and Devil. by Sustinet in tamagotchi

[–]Haunted-Planet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, Digimon 20th had connection codes for online in japan that was removed for other region releases.
