Platform-Specific Installation

ROMs

The Tamagotchi ROM can be commonly found in the MAME zip tama.zip, and will be named tama.b inside that zip. I will not tell you how to obtain this ROM.

For both Pocket and MiSTer, rename tama.b to rom.bin. More information about where the file should be placed is available below

MD5: 3fce172403c27274e59723bbb9f6d8e9


Analogue Pocket

All files are in /Assets/tamagotchi_p1/common/

  • rom.bin - The Tamagotchi ROM
  • background.bin - The background rendered by the core (Included)

The background and spritesheet can be replaced by the user. See the image generation tools for more information.

Analogue Pocket

Easy Mode

I highly recommend the updater tools by @mattpannella, @RetroDriven, and @neil-morrison44. Choose one of the following updaters:

Any of these will allow you to automatically download and install openFPGA cores onto your Analogue Pocket. Go donate to the creators if you can


Manual Mode

Visit Releases and download the latest version of the core by clicking on the file named agg23...-Pocket.zip.

To install the core, copy the Assets, Cores, and Platform folders over to the root of your SD card. Please note that Finder on macOS automatically replaces folders, rather than merging them like Windows does, so you have to manually merge the folders.

See ROMs to install the correct ROMs and have a booting core.

MiSTer

Easy Mode

You can use the built in MiSTer Downloader script to automatically fetch all of my cores on release.

To start receiving my cores, simply paste the following snippet at the bottom of your downloader.ini. This will add my database to the list of locations MiSTer Downloader checks for updates from:

Manual Mode

Visit Releases and download the latest version of the core by clicking on the file named agg23...-MiSTer.zip.
