Updated Apby Gene Cole: Digimon has remained as a cult classic series for many gamers and anime fans, particularly since their videogames were as wild as PokemonВ for an incredibly long time. The best Digimon games are incredibly different from each other, but only a few are considered to be the top Digimon games, and only one can be properly considered the best Digimon game of all time. Most of the games in the franchise center on the idea of collecting and digivolving your partners just like in the show, but this basic mechanic has been utilized in all kinds of genres, from classic RPGs to fighting and racing games. RELATED: Digimon Survive: 10 Digimon Who Have Never Appeared In a Game For a franchise that came from a variety of Tamagotchi-style virtual pets, Digimon has had a massive range of video games on various platforms, each varying wildly in terms of style and substance. Somehow.The DigimonВ anime has featured tons of hits and misses throughout its history, but the Digimon video games have had a much better track record of quality. * Obtain an OKI EASE63180 In-Circuit Emulator module, mount the IC in there, and then read the memory out of it.

There is a program called the DT63K which may be able to talk to the hardware to do debugging.

There are some ports for external memory address space and also a shift register for communication. The uC has a couple of puzzling pads called 'TST1 and TEST2' which have a descriptive text of 'Not available to the user' - this may be some sort of manufacturer's backdoor for analysis. * Decapsulate the glob without destroying the uC or the bond wires. I'm going to setup a test bench to flood the toy with invalid commands to see if anything happens.

It's entirely possible that sending a series of commands at specific moment during bootup of the device may throw it into some special state that may allow arbitrary code execution. It's possible that the v1 toys have this as well. I think the 15th or the 20th anniversary toys have a mode where you can push various buttons at start up to go into a special ROM test menu. I'm not sure if that's possible since - according to BladeSaber's research - it's just a 2byte packet and apparently some of it is just the stats? (I don't know, I haven't dug around deep enough in it yet). * Somehow send a malformed command to the input port in order to cause the toy to execute arbitrary code. I have no idea how much this service would cost - probably $1-3k. * Look at the uC with an electron scanning microscope. * Look at the uC with a more powerful microscope (unlikely to work) There may be something that connects to P4.0 which is an output port, but I don't know what it could be since P8.0, the I/O port, is probably what talks to other devices. The hardware buttons probably go to P0.0-P0.2 which is 3 of the 4-bits of one of the input port which is also an interrupt. * Inspecting the picture of the die and the microcontroller specification, I can make out what pins of the uC the buttons are connected to (based on the pads of the uC and whether or not they look like they had bond wires attached). I'm going to see if I can get the IC back and then see if I can find a more powerful microscope - but I don't know if that's going to help any. The resolution of the microscope wasn't enough to see the individual bits of the ROM. * There does not appear to be an external memory (or at least the person who decapped it for me didn't say anything about it). This appears to be an off the shelf microcontroller, but the manufacturer (OKI) has been out of business for 10 years and the company that bought them out (LAPIS Semiconductor) does not appear to be manufacturing microcontrollers - just LCD drivers.

The instruction set is based on something called nx-4/250. * It's a 4-bit, MSM63184B microcontroller with 8Kb of Mask ROM. A friendly stranger decapped the red v-pet for me.
