Tama P1 Emulator for Flipper Zero

This is a tama P1 Emulator app for Flipper Zero, based on TamaLIB.

How to play

Create a tama_p1 folder in your microSD card, and put the ROM as rom.bin. Use a search engine to find the Tamagotchi ROM. There is a file named tama.b. Rename this to rom.bin.

Controls in portrait mode are the same as landscape mode, but turned 90 degrees.

• Left button is A.
• Down or OK is B.
• Right button is C.
• Up button takes you to the emulator menu.
• Hold the Back button to save and exit.

Building

Move this folder into flippers applications_user/TAMA-P1.

Launching the app, directly from console to flipper:

./fbt launch_app APPSRC=applications_user/TAMA-P1

Run the following to compile icons:

scripts/assets.py icons applications/tama_p1/icons applications/tama_p1/compiled

Note: you may also need to add -Wno-unused-parameter to CCFLAGS in site_cons/cc.scons to suppress unused parameter errors in TamaLIB.

Debugging

Using the serial script from FlipperScripts it is easy to add direct logging after running the application:

`python .\serial_logger.py`

`./fbt launch_app APPSRC=applications\plugins\tama_p1;  python .\serial_logger.py`

Alternatively, follow the directions here: https://flipper.atmanos.com/docs/debugging/viewing/
