mizutamatchiman 62 Posted November 26, 2020 First time poster, so please correct me if I get anything wrong! I'm currently running a P2, but on the side I've been messing around with the old CD-ROM game. There's a surprising lack of information online about it. I'm not sure how time passes, or how long evolutions take. Speaking of evolutions, are there growth charts anywhere? I'm thinking that I might take it upon myself to log it and figure it out. Anyone else wanna get in on that? 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LucidLyes 597 Posted November 26, 2020 I think it's pretty well documented actually, between this: https://tamagotchi.fandom.com/wiki/Tamagotchi_CD-ROM?mobile-app=false and the manual pdf which you can find online (I think I got it from archive.org). 5 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Answered all my questions. It seems it runs on a real-time clock, and approx 24 hrs = a year as usual. I was able to find a growth chart on the last page. Looks like you get the baby from either generation at random. I'll just drop the link here for anyone that comes in the thread looking for it: https://archive.org/details/manual-tamagotchi-win95/mode/1up 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LucidLyes 597 Posted November 26, 2020 you're welcome you should check out if your save file remains when you close the app and reboot your computer before putting too much effort and heart into it. On my computer the game would save alright but the save file would be gone if I shut off my laptop 4 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But my computer updated tonight and rebooted itself. I thought to check if it kept my save file and... nope. I wonder what the issue is? And if it would happen on a Win95/98 VM? 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LucidLyes 597 Posted November 29, 2020 probably not obviously, but I didn't try to check out why it does that. maybe you'll find something out. I just remember looking up the problem on google and seeing that most people were complaining about it with no solution, so I just figured it wouldn't just be an easy fix. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
