Shijimaru: my goal is to dump the code off the Tamagotchi and reverse-engineer it to answer the 'deeper questions of tamagotchi life', like what determines how a tama evolves etc. Writing a PC simulator might be necessary as a part of this-- you never know
Chris: _maybe_ (and I say that with a heavy dose of skepticism), but the code wouldn't be persistent (would go away as soon as JTAG was detached), as you can't reprogram a ROM. I haven't looked at the iD-L (I don't think these are available in Canada), but I bet it's possible to dump ROM with enough effort. But my plan is to dump the Tama-Go
. ANd Tama-Go's don't have visible JTAG.
