OpenTama: an open source reference design for MCUGotchi !

Last year, I introduced MCUGotchi, a Tamagotchi P1 emulator for microcontrollers, that worked on an STM32F0 development board. Today, I am pleased to announce the support of a new board in MCUGotchi: OpenTama !

After MCUGotchi, here is PebbleGotchi !

Few weeks ago, I developed TamaLIB, a hardware/OS agnostic Tamagotchi P1 emulator library, that allowed me to create a Tamagotchi P1 ROM exploration tool called TamaTool that targets desktop computers, and a MCU oriented Tamagotchi P1 emulator called MCUGotchi (see my previous post for more information).

Now, let me introduce PebbleGotchi, a Tamagotchi P1 emulator for the Pebble smartwatches !

Spreading virtual life everywhere

Few weeks ago, I found my old Tamagotchi P1 in some old stuff I had, and I wondered if somehow someone hacked it. After some research, I found out that the ROM has been successfully extracted from the picture of a die, and that it could be run on some MAME emulator. But I really wanted to play around with the ROM, and wondered if it would be possible to run it on an embedded system, like a Smartwatch or an STM32 MCU based board.

So to satisfy my curiosity I decided to develop my own Tamagotchi P1 emulator !
