This patch was
initially a proof of concept and confirmation that the tamagotchi
P's firmware can
be changed. But that aside it is a very handy tweak tool.
The Tamagotchi
P's has a new feature called Deco Pierces. These Deco Pierces are
small accessories
that can be pierced (that's why they are called Pierces) into a
small slot at the
front of the Tamagotchi P's.
By linking a
pierce to your Tamagotchi P's from the heart menu, additional
content will
become available. Once a Pierce has been linked it can be safely
removed from the
P's as it is no longer needed. But to prevent abuse (lending
Pierces from
other people or returning Pierces to the shop after use), Bandai
has added some
protection: When a Pierce is not connected within 12 hours, the
Pierce will be
disconnected and the Pierce's extra content will no longer be
available.
This is where
this patch kicks in. By modifying a single instruction in the
firmware this
protection is disabled. Meaning you can now remove your Pierce
and keep it in a
safe place protected from getting scratched.
