#

it would just be easier to come here and find the same post pinned here

alpine sundial
#

Would not be for me because I can't update pins

signal bloom
#

ah, so whenever you updated it, did you have to ask a mod to update the pin in #modding_vpets ?

alpine sundial
#

That one I can update myself because it's pretty much just a post with a link to the latest download post

#

Unless someone wants to pin the first post here, although it's quite a scroll

full geode
#

Which post ya want pinned?

#

Just the very first one?

alpine sundial
#

Yeah, then I can just edit it to link to the current download

full geode
alpine sundial
#

Updated first post, I think on desktop you can click the link for the latest version directly in the pin

upper stone
#

What?

full geode
#

What what?

signal bloom
#

the post with the mod is now accessible through a link in the pins in this channel instead of having to go to #modding_vpets , then being redirected back here

#

also, thanks for setting that up

#

Any idea why dim support attacks aren't working? Specifically I have Guilmon (not EX) with Terriermon EX Harpymon assigned to support, but it isn't triggering

alpine sundial
#

Do you actually meet the support requirements?

abstract schooner
#

I think so - both are OG Dims, is it because they aren't in the same series? Terriermon is from EX series whereas Guilmon GP is under Other

alpine sundial
#

No, not what Dims they're from, but the actual conditions where support attacks could occur

abstract schooner
#

Yeah my Guilmon was at low health where it normally triggers and Harpymon is designated support

alpine sundial
#

But would it have hit anyway?

#

And if it would, that it's not using a strong attack

abstract schooner
#

Good question, I'm not sure, so that may be why.

#

I was under the impression the only condition for it to trigger was for your Digimon to be on low hp at the start of their turn

manic venture
#

Will you do a poop mod and a food management mod?

alpine sundial
#

No

manic venture
#

Ok and I would also know if Infinite stages on adventure mod is possible?

alpine sundial
#

Theoretically, but then why not just start over from stage 1 if you finish the last one? It plays through to the next one automatically if you have the mod installed

manic venture
#

In order to get mote difficult battles

#

And getting a progression with each digimon.

alpine sundial
#

Adventure missions are predefined

manic venture
#

Oh ok everything is limited.

cloud bridgeBOT
#
SHINKA!

@manic venture has evolved into Baby I!

manic venture
#

Is there a way to create screen events using the back up attack animation ? The back up digimon appears on the screen to bother the main digimon when nothing happens.

cloud bridgeBOT
#

@manic venture has leveled up! (0 ➜ 1)

alpine sundial
#

If someone's willing to program that. I probably wouldn't. It sounds like maybe you want a DMC or PenC instead

manic venture
#

I think it's great to put the maximum of features on every devices.

alpine sundial
#

Not enough hours in a day for that, especially when it has to be patched in instead of having the source available for integration

grave notch
#

just wondering, once vb arena goes down, can we make it so that the mod allows HP/AP/BP boosts to dim mons? Plus a bit of an improved battle system for it? Came back to my BE after a while and forgot how unfair can battles be sometimes

#

don't know if it was proposed before, so sorry if it is a double post

alpine sundial
#

Not really possible due to the low scaling of Dim stats, but I suppose it could have a static multiplier applied. That said, it probably wouldn't transfer to the app correctly.

grave notch
#

mmm, in that case maybe consider a boost based on how many trophies the mon is carrying? since that's the other statistic the device can understand

alpine sundial
#

Maybe, but how would you apply it without it being a giant grind or out of proportion?

grave notch
#

yeah, i should have thought more about that, sorry

solemn schooner
#

Another thought, how difficult would it be to add a setting on the BE that would make the screen orientation upside down. The reason for this would be so that the strap is facing the other way when wearing the BE inside the wrist instead of out. I know I could get a strap adapter and change the orientation physically but I kinda like the stock strap.

alpine sundial
#

Probably easy? Although I have to check where exactly the panel is initialized. If it's only on boot, then the flip setting should stick

#

Button handling may or may not be reversible

#

Looks like it's initialized once, so it'll probably stick

solemn schooner
#

Nice, I don’t think the button handling would be an issue, been rocking the BE since it came out and still haven’t memorized the buttons lol

manic venture
#

I would like to know if the added features are only ergonomic or if WE could add big updates that exceed the limits of the vbbe?

alpine sundial
#

There can be net new features

manic venture
#

I will juste write some ideas :

  • Digimon codex
  • skins for the avatar
  • Menu and battle music
  • Infinite stock of Digimon
  • Stock of items
  • Adding items
  • NFC trading
  • option to disable the screen informations on the main menu
  • Adding a special fight mode ( to battle legendary Digimon or create battles).
  • ?wifi?
grave notch
#

That's all borderline impossible

#

Except for option to disable the screen informations

manic venture
#

I see too complicated sorry

full geode
#

More so just not feasable with the hardware

grave notch
#

Yeah, all of that would be possible with an app, but as of how the hardware is, it's not possible

#

I do have a suggestion, as it currently stands, spot functionality was not completed, why not remove it and make it so that you could use that function to send the step count of the device? I guess it's not more of a current release but would be more of a future release if someone ever decides to release their own app to support it.

alpine sundial
#

Digimon codex
Probably not happening, not enough space
skins for the avatar
Loading a different avatar BEM should be doable
Menu and battle music
TBH sounds annoying. Technically possible
Infinite stock of Digimon
Depending on your definition of "infinite", not sure what that really means
Stock of items
Dunno. Theoretically possible if it's not stored with the existing save data
Adding items
Unlikely, firmware is already out of space
NFC trading
Not happening, does not have the correct hardware
option to disable the screen informations on the main menu
Maybe
Adding a special fight mode ( to battle legendary Digimon or create battles).
Not sure what that means
?wifi?
Not without making the battery life unusable

manic venture
#

Infinite stock of Digimon means enough to stock every Digimon of a Bem/Dim or better every Digimon of every Bem/dim.

alpine sundial
#

If any storage of sprites is needed, there's not enough space

manic venture
#

If it's only the Digimon of the Bem used, it should be ok? Because it's already on the card.

alpine sundial
#

To pull any mon? TBH you should probably raise what you want and send to the app

alpine sundial
grave notch
#

is it? I thought it wasn't

#

oh well, blame VB arena for not displaying it

alpine sundial
#

Main thing to note is for transfer to app, it doesn't actually get removed from the device until you issue the command to. You can read the current info then just do nothing

grave notch
#

i see then, thanks for clarifying

manic venture
#

For the music it could be disabled

alpine sundial
#

I for one will not be composing any music for that. The melody system is monophonic anyway

manic venture
#

I thought WE could borrow a digimon song or an open source song .

alpine sundial
#

I still don't know if there's anyone that wants their VB to blare out music. The volume is not adjustable

#

Well, maybe it could be adjustable. I don't know if it's hooked up the same way as on DMC

manic venture
#

Instead of special mod I have the Idea of the GYM MOD. It's a place, using a digimon slot, where digimons gain stats automatically After the battle of another Digimon.

#

Like maybe the exp.share of pokemon.

alpine sundial
#

That's something for the app to handle

charred ocean
#

@alpine sundial i've just updated my BE with your CFW and would like to thank you for the awesome work! 🙏

grim moatBOT
#

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @alpine sundial (current: #2 - 414)

manic venture
#

Hello! ☺️ So, what are the official planned updates?

alpine sundial
#

No specific plans

#

At some point I want to unify stats for Dims and BEMs, but that's quite an undertaking

#

Also add support for VS Dims

manic venture
#

What is the use of the vs dim?

alpine sundial
#

It's a thing for the previous VB

manic venture
#

For the wifi, WE could add a condition to enable it. The condition would be to use the battery

cloud bridgeBOT
#
SHINKA!

@manic venture has evolved into Baby II!

alpine sundial
#

No one's going to add WiFi to the thing

grave notch
#

also how are you supposed to add wifi to a device that doesn't have hardware for wifi

alpine sundial
#

ESP32 plugged into the Dim slot

#

Costs too much to do some one-offs though

grave notch
#

that's a bit... excessive

#

lmao

manic venture
#

It costs 5-10€/$

#

But I understand

alpine sundial
#

For a single module. You forgot someone needs to design and manufacture a PCB to connect the two things together, and potentially an external power supply (such as a battery) so it doesn't drain the VB's battery

manic venture
#

I don't know anything about programing but I wonder if we delete useless sprites like the one for the main menu when we train, that WE don't see because we train. WE could add some Digimon per BEM. We could also replace useless items like the ones that only increase one stat with battle items. Where Can I learn to update the vb?

alpine sundial
#

Just because you don't see some sprites on one screen doesn't mean it isn't used at all. There are no unreferenced sprites

manic venture
#

Have you other ideas of improvements for the vb? All you do is great.

cloud bridgeBOT
#

@manic venture has leveled up! (1 ➜ 2)

levelup.png
alpine sundial
#

I have ideas, but don't have time or interest to pursue all of them

manic venture
#

Have you began the dim adaptation? For the items do you think it's doable? WE only keep the global boost and modify the others. Sorry if I write too much.

alpine sundial
#

Not really planning on allowing Dims to be trainable. Its behavior on the app is still unknown

manic venture
#

I mean the stat unification

alpine sundial
#

Not started, probably won't for a while because making useful scaling is a bit of a process

#

Dims don't scale well because as each Dim/BEM gets released, they're pay to win and the balance gets thrown off

manic venture
#

What is the sprite size?

alpine sundial
#

In general for the firmware? 1.5MB or something

manic venture
#

I used 64x64

alpine sundial
#

For character sprites, there are a few different dimensions

manic venture
#

Like a lot of people, I can't access to VB Arena. That's why I asked you to do the GYM Mod.

alpine sundial
#

That's out of scope for on-device stuff. The device is for raising and basic battles. If you want much more than that, find someone to make you an app.

manic venture
#

Do animated backgrounds work on the devices?

alpine sundial
#

I would not. The screen doesn't exactly refresh very fast

manic venture
#

IS there a tutorial on how to implement backgrounds and Sprites ?

alpine sundial
#

No

drowsy current
#

Hello, I had two questions regarding the mods for the BE. The first is whether it is possible to implement the idea of evolving and devolving at will without the need for a counter (I read about this idea last year, but haven't seen any updates on it). The second idea, which I’m not sure if it can be possible to implemented: the compatibility of adventure mode combat with any Digimon ( BE and VB) in the adventure of classic DIMs (digimons from the old Vital Bracelet)

Actually, the plural of Digimon is Digimoxen.

#

Just wanted to show my support and appreciation for yalls work! its so cool that you guys work on such high skill projects like this

manic venture
#

There are two Digimon songs that would works on the VB. I also have made Sprites for the avatars but I keep them for the moment. I let it here if someone could use it to implement the songs in the VB.

manic venture
#

If I share my spritesheets, will someone integrate them in the VBBE?

alpine sundial
#

No? That's what BEMs are for

manic venture
#

For the avatar

alpine sundial
#

There might eventually be an avatar BEM loader, but not now

manic venture
#

Oh ok, I made Eiji from Seekers and Hiro Amanokawa from Ghost game. I think they are the most obvious avatars.

signal bloom
#

the avatar isn't used too often so i don't know if people see it as a priority

manic venture
#

Maybe in far away update WE Can add the avatars in every scenes. I agree that's not a priority but I think it can be quickly made.

alpine sundial
#

Every scene? There's really not enough horizontal space for that

signal bloom
#

what if they are behind the digimon sprite, gesturing as the digimon attacks?

alpine sundial
#

TBH with how rendering works, I think it's going to be ugly. Just look at the frame lag on support attacks

signal bloom
#

i know this is hypothetical and it wouldn't be easy, but it would be neat if you could have a tamer running in the background

alpine sundial
#

There's no scaling in this thing, so everything would be the same size

potent aurora
daring valley

grim moatBOT
#

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @daring valley (current: #30 - 45)

daring valley
manic venture
#

I don't see a problem here ? We could put the Tamer beside the Digimon a little off screen. He could also not move at all, that's not really weird on this device. If the rotation of the screen is integrated in the futur WE could see more stuff.

alpine sundial
#

No one's going to rotate stuff, there's really barely space as is

manic venture
#

I read the screen upside down sorry. There IS also the battle background that have two parts. Maybe we could do the same with the main screen.

alpine sundial
#

Rotate 180 degrees OK, but definitely not 90 degrees

manic venture
#

I think it's possible to alternate the avatar screen and the Digimon main screen.

alpine sundial
#

That's called switching to avatar

manic venture
#

That's in the case you think there is no place for two Sprites. You use the battle background way. It switches regularly automatically.

alpine sundial
#

No idea which background you're referring to. If you're talking about support characters, remember there's still a clock on the main screen

#

If you're talking about the portraits that show up, I don't understand why anyone would want that flashing in regularly

manic venture
#

When we battle a digimon. There are two screens that switch regularly. Each time our Digimon attacks the camera is only on our Digimon and when it's the ennemy turn, the "camera" is only on the ennemy. So I think the camera is attached to the digimon's attack or there are two screens that alternate per Digimon.

alpine sundial
#

The code for that is coupled pretty tightly to the battle system

#

It's something that could be added, but would be somewhere near the bottom of the priority list because it's functionally useless

manic venture
#

So the most usefull idea I gave is the Item Stock.

alpine sundial
#

I have ideas for that, potentially

grave notch
#

just tested the new mod with the old dim mechanic, this is much more enjoyable to raise mons

manic venture
grave notch
#

Check the pins

#

But I haven't updated my BE since... Uhhhh, the release of the 2.0.A?

manic venture
river jewel
#

@alpine sundial , now Bandai just let the BE for good, don't you think on releasing a Firmware that can load DIM and BEMs from a MicroSD?
I mean, everyone still needs to dump their own cards, but having all of them stored in a single Card would be waaaaay better to carry around and also we would not harm any cards using sprite mods for example.

alpine sundial
#

Maybe in some months

#

It's been implemented in my private branch

river jewel
#

Oh, really? Good to know, man... Always ahead lol

charred ocean
#

@alpine sundial this probably have been asked before, but is there any plans to implement BE Memory stats/calculations when DIM Cards are loaded? From what i've searched on Reddit, aside from the support skill (that was already implemented on the current firmware version) the other main issue that the VBBE has is with the DIM Cards stats/passive skills.

I'm not asking for DIM Cards to be made OP or something like that, just that their stats (and i've read that there is passive % skills that the VBBE expects, but that the DIM Cards does not possess) would be modernized/standardized with how the BE Memories function, since most of the popular characters are on DIM Cards and the online PvP will be discontinued anyway.

(Sorry if i'm mistaken on any of theses points, i'm a new VBBE user!)

alpine sundial
#

Maybe eventually. The current problem is how to map Dim stats to BE stats, because it's not a linear relationship (there's power creep as newer cards are made because Bandai wants you to buy them), and I don't think there's a single clean way of doing it. @daring valley has some sort of mapping that I plan to use, just need to figure out how to generalize it a bit.

#

I think once the app is fully offline, if someone wants to support storing trained stats, I'd add that in. I don't know yet how the offline app will handle that

#

What's up?

signal bloom
#

so it turns out, even if you meet the requirements for an evolution, it wont show the stars if it's going to jogress instead

#

i thought it was a bug until evolution time came around

signal bloom
#

do you think it would be possible to make new items for the watch? i ask because many are just superfluous when you canb just keep fighting to get a better item

#

they could just be simple consumables that give you 100 vitals or something

alpine sundial
#

Maybe. Depends on the behavior. I'm not going to make graphics for it though

signal bloom
#

that's fair, i might even do that if needed

#

although i'm sure someone else coudl do better

manic venture
vast nacelle
#

I never understood why Bandai didn't just use the NFC feature to let your VBBE battle other VBBEs

frank kindle
#

Because it would require holding your bracelet against someone else's for a significantly long amount of time. Vital Bracelet VS Dim battles involve transferring a LOT of data

grave notch
#

i can imagine the akwardness for the next minute and a half as the data transfers over

daring valley
frank kindle
#

Yeah if they changed the way battles worked then NFC battles could function

alpine sundial
#

TBH they should always have done it the prongs way

#

It might be more expensive to manufacture, but prongs on a card would have been easy enough to implement

#

Though I guess with custom attack sprites on BE, that could be a challenge

#

I forgot about that part

thin basalt
#

Is it normal for my VBBE to still say 2.0.A in its setting even after "downgrading"?

alpine sundial
#

The latest is 2.0.A, so if you're modding it that's what you'll see. If you downloaded a previous update, then it shouldn't say 2.0.A

thin basalt
#

so I followed your instructions and put in a MicroSD with 99F

#

I got the E02 error like step 3 says

#

but when I checked before installing the custom firmware it still said 2.0.A

alpine sundial
#

Then maybe your card has a problem, because after it loads that you should get E00 when it tries to boot

thin basalt
#

I'll get a new microSD and try again

thin basalt
#

Okay so I see the issue now

#

I had mine to exFat, not Fat32

#

would Fat32format (GUIFormat) work for this?

#

is there a cluster size I should be aware of, or does 2kb work?

lavish badger
#

assuming you using more than 32gb microSD?

alpine sundial
#

Cluster size doesn't seem to matter IIRC

thin basalt
#

I'm using easeUS's partition master

#

and have partitioned the SDcard to be below 32gb and formatted it to fat32

#

it's still throwing out a E02 error -> BE booting normally

alpine sundial
#

exFAT won't work, other than that partition size doesn't matter

thin basalt
#

should I try for like a 4 GB partition?

alpine sundial
#

I suggest using the official SD formatter to reset the partitioning, then reformat the partition to FAT32

#

If that doesn't work, it's probably your card (certain SanDisk cards don't seem to work)

thin basalt
#

okay so I paritioned down to 32 gb, which lets the microsoft formatter let me format the disk to fat32

#

I'm using a PNY SD card it's 128 gb but I partitioned it down

#

it's still giving me a E02 error, then letting me boot properly?

alpine sundial
#

Don't add additional partitions, just reset it with the official SD formatter, then reformat to FAT32

#

Easeus should be able to format too

thin basalt
#

hang on, on disk management, right?

alpine sundial
#

No

#

Official SD formatter is basically exactly that, just google it and you can download from SD Association

#

That'll clear out any weird things that may have been applied when partitioning

thin basalt
#

ohh I see

#

so on this should I just

#

run this as-is?

alpine sundial
#

Yup

thin basalt
#

oh it un-partitioned the SD card and reset it to exfat

alpine sundial
#

Then in Easeus, reformat the single partition as FAT32

thin basalt
#

got it

#

does the 116 gb partition size matter if it's fat32?

#

it boot normally into 2.0.A again :/

#

oh yeah I should mention that I don't get the waiting... screen

alpine sundial
#

Can you screenshot the contents of the card?

thin basalt
#

sure thing

#

here you go

alpine sundial
#

Well that looks very normal, so I think it's the card itself not being compatible

thin basalt
#

hm

#

I can only find sandisk for sale on amazon for 4gb microsd

#

and I was only able to find the 126gb at the lowest capacity at the local hardware store

#

would a 16 gb kioxia work? I saw that kioxia is on one of the compatible SD cards according to bandai

alpine sundial
#

Dunno, if it's the exact same model maybe. I've had luck with the Kingston they listed

thin basalt
#

this one right

alpine sundial
#

Yup

thin basalt
#

is there any meaningful difference between that one and SDC10?

alpine sundial
#

If it's C10 without UHS markings, then it's slower

thin basalt
#

32 GB microSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter (SDC10/32GB)

alpine sundial
#

C10 doesn't really mean anything these days because everything's faster than the original C10 spec

#

Oh, SDC10 as in the model

thin basalt
#

this one gets here 5 days faster

alpine sundial
#

It'll probably work, maybe just slower, but that's not really an issue for the VB

thin basalt
#

I see!

#

then I'll go for this one and hopefully I won't have any more questions

#

thank you and sorry to be a bother.

alpine sundial
#

No worries, the SD card support thing is a weird one

mystic mist
#

4. Copy VBBE_20A.vb2 that you have patched in this folder to your microSD card,
and follow Bandai's instructions to install it.
5. You should see a success screen with version 2.0.A if it installed.

#

That step is not working for me :c

#

The file is now called patch4_20a.bsdiff, would that be?

alpine sundial
#

No, that's the diff file. You need to copy out the patched firmware file

#

When you patch it writes back to the same file, so just check the modification time to see if it's been updated

mystic mist
#

To activate the patch I just double click on the file and close or should I do something else?

alpine sundial
#

Read the readme

#

You should get a message from the patch script when it's done

mystic mist
#

You may need to install the MSVC redistributable if you don't have it:
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe
3. This step only applies if you have installed firmware version 2.0.A previously.
This step will erase your firmware so you can reinstall version 2.0.A. Skip
this if you have not installed version 2.0.A before.

#

I couldn't understand that part, I have that latest version installed, what should I do with that exe when downloading it? :C

alpine sundial
#

The redist? You run it on your computer if you haven't installed it before

mystic mist
#

This step only applies if you have installed firmware version 2.0.A previously.
This step will erase your firmware so you can reinstall version 2.0.A. Skip
this if you have not installed version 2.0.A before.

solemn schooner
#

I have another idea for an update, would it be possible to make the time font bigger when placing the BE into sleep mode and hide the step count and vital points, also while moving the time font from horizontal to vertical?

alpine sundial
#

Tough. They'd all need to be new sprites

signal bloom
#

i hate vertical time. worst pixel update ever

solemn schooner
#

Oh ok just a thought, and @signal bloom it would have only been for sleep mode, and revert back to normal after waking up the digimon, @alpine sundial appreciate you bro

#

Since the BE is officially dead now, can there finally be a mod where the practice limit is removed

alpine sundial

Maybe

green mantle

Why so many messages on here? Nothing wrong with that of course. Just puzzled since we've gotten what we possibly could from the last update of the CFW and since the BE is dead.

No one aside from Bandai has to act on Bandai's schedule. There's plenty more that can be changed

Hi I'm sorry if this is the wrong channel to ask but with the jogress evo enabled again, I wanted to ask: does the support digimon have to be from the same DiM?

alpine sundial
#

It supports whatever was supported on the original VB

thin basalt
#

mhm, I've read the Humulos manual, but it didn't specify whether DiMs have to be the same. Can I assume that this means any of the same stage will work as long as the attribute matches, regardless of DiMs?

alpine sundial

Yes

The OTP data sits beside the main BEM dump

#

Though with the app no longer online, most of the logic related to the OTP can be removed

#

I won't ask for an ETA but is there anything stopping the feature from being rolled out at the present?

alpine sundial
#

It's only been a month since the app's been offlined

#

Ask again in a year or so

#

Oh, I was actually more concerned with technical limitations and the like. Makes perfect sense to wait for the market to stabilise since plenty of BEs and BEMs will still be sold in the meantime

Is it possible to make a mod that lets you select volume level instead of on and off as being the only option

alpine sundial
#

No, there's no hardware to support that

#

Theoretically this chip does have an adjustment, though I'm pretty sure it makes it louder. I'll have to double check

hallow scroll
#

Lol k louder wasn't the goal but interesting option

alpine sundial

Well, as it turns out, it is on the loud setting. The unfortunate thing is the code that sets it is in ROM, so it'll be very hard to get it to be consistently quiet

Traditional Modern V-Pets: All battles count. This means Single, Tag, Connection and Colosseum battles all factor in the same way. You can have 7 Tag victories and 8 Single victories and they will count together as 15 victories. You can even just do the first battle of the Colosseum over and over again to get the required 15 battles. Read the Legend and FAQ at the bottom corners of the guide for more answers.

Vital Series Digimon: NFC Battles, Adventure Mode Battles and VS DiM Battles all count. Battles in the app do not count.

@alpine sundial How time consuming would it be to replace some of the BE's default backgrounds with other colors?

Not at all, but someone would have to sign it

i forget, can you use a digimon from a BEM to jogress your regular DIM digimon with the mod?

alpine sundial
#

I think so. I don't remember whether there's a franchise check

signal bloom
#

hmmm... maybe i should check this then instead of raising another DIM

signal bloom
#

so i realize now that you can't select a BEM digimon as support for a DIM, which means you can't jogress them

alpine sundial
#

At least from the Evo logic side I don't think there's a restriction, but not being able to select as support is a good point

#

maybe that would be an argument for modding that feature in

Would need stats to interop between the two kinds of cards though

Hello, how I install this Mod if I'm already at 2.0.A, maybe there is video for this case? Because they dropped support for bracelets, so I decided to Mod it mine. Plus will I still be able to do transfers between my BE and APP?

Extra suggestion: a quickier way to check your pulse! Asking this, because old VBs had quick way to check pulse compared to BEs. It could be done this time: on Main Screen, because there still some space to fit it in there or you could add extra window in daily stats window aka first window there could be pulse window and then you scroll to today, 1 day ago, 2 days ago, 3 days ago and back button if possible or you could do whatever way you think you can make it to see pulse quicker!

alpine sundial
#

The heart rate sensor is pretty bad and probably not worth the effort

#

It also only updates every 5 minutes or so

reef mirage
# alpine sundial It also only updates every 5 minutes or so

I know that, but I at least in old VBs used to check my last pulse from time to time, but now on BEs I almost never do that cause in BEs it takes way more time/hasle to go and check it. And knowing you last pulse from time to time is healthy thing to do, so.

alpine sundial
#

If only it was accurate

reef mirage
# alpine sundial If only it was accurate

Still it's better then nothing and it's part of Digimons/Characters life and training too, so. But if it is hasle to you or just don't wanna even bother then I don't mind, because as you said the sensor in all VBs including BEs is far from pefect, but still I tried to suggest this.

#

Actually, the plural of Digimon is Digimen.

I'd actively discourage from referencing the heart rate as a diagnostics measure

Just quick question about DIMs HP boost on BE with latest version of this Mod: so it now uses original HP boost coming from VP making again possible to Win Battles for Battle Win rate. So it will get 6 HP boost if I have 7500+ VP? Or it's bit different cause note says it is, but not understaning that part of note?

alpine sundial
#

The VP boost is still calculated the same as with a BEM, since you can have up to 9999 VP

reef mirage
#

And that will be?

#

Because patch notes for latest version say you brought back DIM HP boost for DIMs from old times. So I will now get 6 HP for 9999 VP for DIM, but if it is like 9998 and less it's 4 HP or what?

alpine sundial

It says we now can battle without NFC with holding Confirm Button, but isn't long hold of that button can turn off VBBE as well or was removed?!

I had weird time with 3x all training yesterday, it lasted at least 2 hours, I finished training 2 unfinished training stats (AP from 505 to 999 and HP from 55 to 999) and raise PP from 0 to 195, all in lazy matter, in like 1 hour and 15 minutes and still not ended even when I was still was active when I was having super long sit at toilet, so it lasted at least 2 hours instead 1 hour. So wanna know it's feature of Mod or a bug?!

alpine sundial
#

It lasts 3 hours normally

#

Oh it's actually supposed to be 2 hours per what I have recorded

reef mirage
#

I see, looks like screenshot I used for items list have wrong time just for that item, so 3 hours, ok.
And what you mean with last message of yours?

alpine sundial
#

It's supposed to be 2 hours, not 3 hours

reef mirage

Officially. On the BE update page it says 3 hours, but in my research it was 2 hours. I'm going to confirm that

#

Hmm, nope, maybe I made the typo

i remember the individual ones being 2 hours but the omni-boost being 3 hours

does the BE have any residual programming to use the VBlab items?

#

just wondering how possible it would be to re-implement them in a custom app

alpine sundial

Sort of. They do have the boosts in there, but it's also reused by on-device items

i suppose most of the items for the watch were about the same, weren't they

#

Hello! New here. Any link to download the latest firmware mod for the vita bracelet BE? Also, is there a mod available to raise the Dim digimon in the BE and raise their stats?

alpine sundial
#

Check pins or first post, and no, Dim stats cannot be raised because their scaling just doesn't work with the default logic

stiff halo
#

Ahh I see. Thank you! Also, you can get items to boost stats for your BE digimon like the ones found in adventure mode in the app?

#

I was shocked to see you can even start battles 😭 I was so happy to see it

alpine sundial
#

The on-device items is its own thing

stiff halo
#

I mean they still affect the digimon in the device no? like that stats do increase etc

#

BE digimon of course

alpine sundial
#

They still work the way it's designed

stiff halo
#

im confused lol

alpine sundial
#

On-device items work the way they're designed, app items also work the way they're designed

stiff halo
#

Do the items on the device raise stats, time etc?

alpine sundial
#

Consult Humulos' site

stiff halo
#

I am referring to the mod

alpine sundial
#

The mod doesn't really change how items work aside from pausing some timers during sleep

stiff halo
#

Ok so the items help increase the amount of stats you get from doing the trainig in the device

#

it doesnt give you stats, it just helps you gain more when you use the item. Really cool!

#

I want to say thank you to you good sir. This update makes training and battling the digimon one raises feel really happy

#

I can look forward to raising and leveling the tier of all my BE digimon in my collection

#

😄

hasty rapids
#

what would it take to add a mod to remove the limit timer 🤔

alpine sundial
#

One setting screen and associated check

The implementation would be ignoring the timer when granting stats after training rather than stopping the timer itself

Its a mugendramon of seekers, the BE is mod (2.0.0A) and the BEDim was borrowed

Not silly. You can ask that question in #modern_vpets as it's nothing to do with the mod in general.

Normally there is a manual that help what you are looking for: https://humulos.com/digimon/vbbe/manual/

Death
Your Digimon will die under the following conditions

Getting injured 4 times in one day
Not wearing your Vital Bracelet for 24 hours (time spent sleeping or in backup does not count towards the 24 hours)
When it dies, you simply need to press the confirm button to start a new egg. Note that characters from franchises other that Digimon do not die.

The Home Screen
The Home Screen is the primary view for the Vital Bracelet. Here, you can see the following:

Digimon - An image of the Digimon you are currently raising and its current status. The statuses are as follows:
Untethered - Indicated by a crying face icon above the Digimon while you aren't wearing the Vital Bracelet. This means your Digimon cannot sense your heart rate, and will die if left this way for 24 hours.

#

I'm sure it's been asked a million times, but since discord isn't exactly past-info-friendly, I'll ask again: is it possible to change the image for evolution? The "new new new" image is dumb for Digimon, I liked the "evolution" screen from OgVB better.

alpine sundial

Main issue is it probably crosses over signed areas of the firmware, so you'll need to figure out how to resign the data

#

Oh, that's a bummer.

gaunt tree
#

Likely an impossible tasks due to memory constraints, but would there be possibility for a mod to battle with Digimon from other DiM/BE Memory cards if you have a Digimon from that card in backup?

signal bloom
#

you mean battling with your own back-ups?

alpine sundial
#

I mean you already do that in adventure mode

#

The question is how do you select which card to battle from

#

I'm starting to think maybe there should be a new menu just for choosing a specific mon to battle

signal bloom
#

could you make it select a specific stage or is it just easier to do a specific digimon?

#

i guess otherwise people will just beat up children again

#

they really should bring back XP on devices again

alpine sundial
#

How about this? NFC just gives you a random battle, but if you hold the bottom button, it enters a battle menu where you can do random (current Dim), random (all), or select specific (any Dim, current or otherwise)

gaunt tree
# signal bloom you mean battling with your own back-ups?

Not as such. For example, if I’m running a Ryudamon BE Memory and have a Digimon from Forest Guardians in storage, when I do an NFC battle it would be cool that Digimon from both BE Memory cards enter the random pool of Digimon to battle against

#

Rather than isolated to the BE Memory active

gaunt tree
true flare
wind sentinel
#

I was wondering: why bottom button? Long-pressing it is already used for shut down, why didn't you use long-press top button for NFC battles?

frank kindle
#

The amount of time needed to shut down is 10 seconds, so there's plenty of time below that range to make use of a smaller long press

wind sentinel
#

That wasn't my concern. It's more about usage wear out.
Long-term it seems wiser to distribute long-presses equally between two buttons instead of one. So I'm asking if there is any particular or technical reason why it's the same button.

frank kindle
#

Why not power off the intended way to avoid that concern?

#

You shouldn't be long pressing to power off unless there's a problem with the device

alpine sundial
#

You could always just use the NFC activation if you're so worried about button longevity. It takes no presses.

wind sentinel
alpine sundial
#

What about not constantly turning the device on and off?

wind sentinel
alpine sundial
#

Also, statistically, the top button is used a lot more than the bottom button due to selection being used more than confirm

#

There's no consideration for button longevity, since that wasn't really a thing when the project started

#

Personally, I'd just use everything as intended, and if it breaks, there's generic replacement parts available

I have a few ideas, such as changing the way of fighting or the way the values ​​work, so that the effort points that I have worked so hard to gain can be put to good use. I have been defeated many times by monsters whose evolution level is lower than mine; adding some props, or modifying the values ​​of existing props, or changing the amount of effort points gained after training, so that the effort points can be maxed out more easily than before.

Probably not for a while. @daring valley's app is still in development, and that won't have multiplayer to start with

VS Dims is something I can probably implement, but it'll have to be staggered, maybe BE first BEM-only before any support for Dims or older VBs

daring valley
#

Mine, Naca, and Lightheel. Lightheel has been working on the battle aspect. Hope to have it on initial release. But either way it will be there eventually.

#

Also Android only and will require you have access to the last Vital Arena apk, BE firmware (still available on Bandai's website) and the card images for the cards you want to use.

proper hedge
#

Well darn I’m on iOS.

alpine sundial
#

I'm thinking BE battles should maybe just use SD card for files

#

That way you don't have to be physically around someone to battle

#

You'll have to preload a few files that can be written in because AFAIK there isn't a function for creating files with GeneralPlus' library, plus it'll be slow, but it's doable

#

That would make a separation with VS Dims and not cause any confusion when a VB is trying to read it

#

And people who don't have a VS Dim would be able to battle other BEs

#

@daring valley If you need anything to help facilitate features in the app, let me know and I can probably cook up something

Hi, is there a possibility to use VS Dim on battles between two Vital Bracelet BE?

Does anyone have a 3d print for the vital bracelet be Version that has the heart sensor and the plugs parts that are easy access? That I could get a copy of if needed more info let me know

alpine sundial
#

Not really sure what you'd need to do with the heart rate sensor. It's a board attached to the back shell and the ribbon leading from it is soldered

#

The BE also doesn't depend on it in the same way as earlier VBs. You can completely ignore it and it'll work fine

Ah ok

If it doesn’t matter then if anyone has a mod case file I can get a copy of please let me know

#

Great mod really enjoying it! Any plans for more simple features in future, maybe an alarm function?

alpine sundial
#

No alarm. Because of the way it does things in ROM, alarms would be up to 5 minutes late

#

It's the same with raise to wake, I wish it would allow that but since ROM is read only, the code needed to support those things can't be changed

untold basin
#

Thanks for the reply! I guess I would have no problem with an inaccurate alarm within reason. Other ideas would be heart rate on main screen and scrolling through a gallery of digimon images like those shown during attack sequences. Again thanks for everything!

alpine sundial
#

Heart rate on the main screen doesn't seem particularly useful because it's updated every 5 minutes, and already represented by the character animation

# tardy wigeon will the mod work in boku no hero and kimetsu no yaiba vital bracelet? what if ...

I've used the mod on the My Hero Academia and Kimetsu no Yaiba VBEs. I had a 25th Anniversary Edition Digimon VBE which broke and I replaced it with a cheaper option (and a second as back up). It had the benefit of letting me get two more batches of items every day in the app too, since they came with a DEM of their own for franchies Idgaf about lol. I applied the mod to both devices without any difference or difficulty, so you should have no problem too

warm sapphire
alpine sundial
#

All of them have the spot feature

warm sapphire
#

From some people they haven't had spot on their BE yet they got their vital bracelets way later so.........how do you explain that?

alpine sundial
#

They weren't looking

#

They did change how spot connect worked between 1.0.x and 2.0.x, but the menu item was always there

warm sapphire
#

What does spot even actually do? Also the videos online show be models with and without spot.

alpine sundial
#

It lets you apply effects to the current character, such as VP changes and item boosts (which was a thing for VBC, and doesn't really apply to the BE). Afterwards it basically allowed you to change most user stats without having to remove the character from the device.

#

For videos, they probably just didn't page over to the second item in the connect menu. You'll have to show me which do page through and don't show the menu

unborn hound
#

when i take the bracelet off and let my pet sleep, does it normal for it to flash green light constantly?

signal bloom
#

the watch checks for heart rate periodically when it's on. modded or not

alpine sundial
#

It should not flash after you leave it for 5 minutes, and remain off unless you bump it

I have a rollup question: do the enabled assists from DiM cards work between DiM cards? I'm about to max out an impulse city digimon, and I was wondering if I'd be able to use the kazuchimon as an assist for a different dim card

signal bloom
#

you mean using the support digimon from another card to help out in battle?

#

because i think that was part of the base firmware

charred hawk
#

that

#

i had no idea

#

the humulos guide said that supports have to be from the same card

frank kindle
#

Same type of card

like, you can't have a BEM help a DIM because they do stats differently

Is there a way to exit automatic training without just waiting for the timer to run our?

Thank you! I'll give it a try

#

Thanks for all your hard work too BTW:)

tired fox
#

btw any ETA on the mod of being able to train past the starting 100h?

#

idk how hard that mod would be to make and whatnot

signal bloom
#

just use the items

tired fox
#

I mean getting the items is an ordeal of its own. And it's kind of not feasible for people on their first digimon since you wont be able to actually defeat digimon to get the items in the first place

frank kindle
#

Even on your first Digimon you can get all the stats you need well before the timer expires

#

Required PP only goes up to like 30 and that takes no more than 15 minutes to achieve

#

ANd since evolution happens so quikcly, usually you would still have at least 25 hours left after reaching the final stage with no items

tired fox
#

True but again, this only works if you know this ahead of time. Up until yesterday neither me nor my friend knew the timer was per digimon and not per stage

#

I still have ~30h left but he ran out of trianing hours

frank kindle
#

Well yeah lol

#

You have to read

tired fox
#

you'd think sleep paused the timer but it doesn't which is whack

frank kindle
#

RIght, that's why it's all been plainly written out

#

It's not a device you can reasonably just operate blindly

#

All V-Pets require reading the manual

#

Either way it's not like it's hard to just, start a new Digimon either

#

Plug the Dim Card in and bam

#

Raise a new Digimon, collect items, use those items for the other Digimon in backup

#

Or if your Digimon is high enough stage already, then the battles are absolutely inconsequential

#

Just reroll until you fight a Stage III

#

Battle, win, get item, repeat

signal bloom
#

you can also send the other one to the app and save it until you have that item or use app items

#

or just battle at the default child/adult stage until you get the item

I like the 100 hour timer, it does its job to get you active. It also creates a gameplay loop of battling for items to restore it, I think overall its a good thing.

If you want to be lazy, hang out with a fully trained digimon, gives you another reason to still use them imo

The app is offline-only, so it'll work fine

You can try to do a Dim reset if you have a VB that supports that. I know some original Dims had some issues out of a factory, although for custom Dims you should be able to just rewrite it

#

If it's a custom BEM, then you need to also have the corresponding OTP written

cd to the directory, then run bspatch. Those are two separate commands you run on separate lines

#

Bad news Bears my computer no longer works 😦

Not sure how you managed that, unless you really messed up typing commands

jade lake

Check if bspatch is installed, install if not

if ! command -v bspatch &> /dev/null; then
echo "bspatch not found. Installing bsdiff via Homebrew..."
brew install bsdiff
fi

Ask for path

read -p "Enter the full path to the folder containing your files: " folder

Move to that folder

cd "$folder" || { echo "Folder not found. Exiting."; exit 1; }

Check for required files

if [[ ! -f "VBBE_20A.vb2" ]] || [[ ! -f "patch4_20a.bsdiff" ]]; then
echo "Missing required files: VBBE_20A.vb2 and/or patch4_20a.bsdiff"
exit 1
fi

Run patch

echo "Patching firmware..."
bspatch VBBE_20A.vb2 VBBE_20A_patched.vb2 patch4_20a.bsdiff

Done

echo "✅ Patch complete! The patched firmware is saved as VBBE_20A_patched.vb2"
echo "➡️ Rename it to VBBE_20A.vb2 and copy it to your microSD card's root."

This is what I did

From what I'm seeing, the problem is that you didn't cd the correct directory, like everyone else had mentioned. You need to cd the entire folder. Also, cyanic’s instructions linked above was for mod rollup v3. The steps are the same except you have to change the line
bspatch VBBE_20A.vb2 VBBE_20A.vb2 patch3_20a.bsdiff
to
bspatch VBBE_20A.vb2 VBBE_20A.vb2 patch4_20a.bsdiff

You also won’t be able to verify it with that SHA25 hash because that one is for v3. It should still work fine without verification, but maybe someone can provide the SHA256 hash for v4.

On Mac do the following:

  1. Download the vbbe_mod_rollup_4_20a.zip from the pins.

  2. Extract the folder to your preferred location. (I did mine to the desktop to keep it simple.) You should have a folder called “vbbe_mod_rollup_4_20a.zip Folder” with 5 items in it.

  3. Download the firmware update "VBBE_20A.vb2" from
    Bandai and place it in the “vbbe_mod_rollup_4_20a.zip Folder”. There should now be 6 items in the folder.

  4. Type cd (with a space after it) and drag the entire "vbbe_mod_rollup_4_20a.zip Folder" into the terminal window. Hit enter.

  5. Run the following:
    bspatch VBBE_20A.vb2 VBBE_20A.vb2 patch4_20a.bsdiff

  6. Follow the rest of the steps in the README starting at #3 or #4 depending on whether or not you already had v20A.vb2 installed on your VBBE.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.

i recommend raising norm DIM digimon with BEM so you can have a dim active and using up the evo clock but then switch to the BEM for more intense training

floral spoke
#

You can also switch to the generic avatar you pick on startup when not working on stats, that's what I do

#

Best use for that avatar is as a "pause button" TBH

#

Given that you can't really do anything else worthwhile with it

#

That way if you don't have a regular Dim you still have a way to avoid letting the training timer run out

Hey @alpine sundial Ive always wondered. Is there a way to make CIMS/BEMS function in a way where evolution is strictly step count based and not at all time based? It'd be cool if you can do exercise sessions where you can just exercise and reach the step goal to evolve. Making it into a fun exercise "level up" experience. Would it be possible to make a rollup mod where you can set a mode like this? Maybe call it Game Train mode. Being able to select a custom branch to evolve into when using this mode. Also be able to to continue where you left off. That would be way fun and it would really add a good reason to use the BE again. Adding some more value to the device since we have a barebones app for it now.

alpine sundial
#

It can be approximated. The number of steps can be checked every minute, so it probably won't trigger the moment you hit the goal, but it could shortly after

#

Although you'll need to be more specific about what steps entail

green mantle
alpine sundial
#

Step count from what starting point? When you activate the mode? Of the day?

green mantle

Id say mode.

Also how do you calculate the goal?

# alpine sundial Did you work around the checksum/signing?

Yes, I handle the checksum entirely in my fix_header_vbbe.py,
It reads the final interleaved .vb2, computes the CRC-32 over the payload, and updates the 32-bit CRC field in the header.
It also ensures the total/payload length fields stay correct.

alpine sundial
#

That's not how that works

ancient charm
alpine sundial
#

The header is signed. You need to modify the firmware data to counter the changes that you've made unless you happen to have the signing key and can resign the firmware

ancient charm
# alpine sundial The header is signed. You need to modify the firmware data to counter the change...

I'm working around the signature check by:
De-interleaving & extracting
– Turn the interleaved .vb2 into a raw payload, extract firmware.bin.

Rebuilding the firmware
– Now i'm not inject some thing yet.
– Re-pack and interleave.

Re-signing the header
– I recalculate CRC-32, payload size and update the four‐byte SHA-1 field in the 256-byte header so the loader’s checksums pass.

But in the end of the installation i get E02.

I've modded my vb out of the box (did not apply the official bandai update prior, used the patched one) but are these two backgrounds supposed to be the same? Did I mess up?

# reef mirage Just quick suggestion: add option for summer time change, like option that does ...

So I having this idea/suggestion for this Mod for a while now (since July or June) and I finally found moment to share it. There are days when I get super exausted and I only able put to charge my VBBE into my 10k mah Power Bank (99% of times I charge VBBE trough it), but end up forgetting to put Digimon/Character to sleep. So I suggesting something similar to where Pusle Checker no more checks pulse if there is no movement or usage of VBBE for certain amount of time, but for putting Digimon/Character to Sleep. But in this case it needs check one more thing before putting Digimon/Character to Sleep and it needs to check if VBBE is charging as well aka it not only needs to check if there is no movement or usage of VBBE, but needs to check if VBBE is being charged as well before putting Digimon/Character to Sleep! I hope this feature is possible to implement?!
PS: quoting my old suggest for Summer Time feature as well!

#

Auto DST is actually a bit more difficult than it looks because the date isn't the same worldwide and there's no way to make a time zone setting screen work well on this thing

reef mirage
#

Roger about the old idea/suggestion, what about sleep idea/suggestion?!

alpine sundial
#

Not sure. Presumably it'd be possible to hook on to the function that runs every minute and maybe do things from there, just wondering if it's prone to false positives

reef mirage
#

Roger, because that will be helpful in days for people who so exausted that after plugging VBBE to charge they forgot to put Digimon/Character to Sleep and that will often give less stress on buttons, because you only will need Wake Up Digimon/Character only aka no more need press buttons for Sleep!
And thank you for responses!

Not sure. If you're thinking of the DMC, someone rerouted the flash on there to a microSD slot so you could use a Dim-like card to swap versions

true flare
#

Literally just as you said that I found it!

#

Oh its sold out :(
I was gonna buy it and see if I could install the link firmware on it to make a fancy chip

If there's a way to get the chip with a case, let me know. I'll pay directly as a sort of commission

Thanks for the interest in Digimon Link, I’m the original commissioner and creator of the project, and it includes my own original works inside the firmware. Since this was a project I funded, any commissions involving this mod would need to be arranged with both Cyanic and me so credit and costs are shared equally.

I originally created Digimon Link to be a free service. Any type of monetary exchange goes against that vision and could potentially put the project at legal risk. Just like it’s against the rules to share BIN files here on Digi Hatchery due to piracy concerns, selling Digimon Link which contains Bandai’s intellectual property would technically be piracy. While a one off case like this might not cause immediate problems, I don’t want to set the expectation that the mod can be purchased in any form. Appreciate you understanding

As a side note I don't have any black PCBs left. Everything left is prototype quality. If you already have a Upgrade Memory, the case file should be on Veak's site

Oh I don't have a 3D printer yet unfortunately, otherwise I would. Ping me if you ever get any black PCBs though!! I gladly cover the costs!

#

Hi everyone. Im new here. So could you please suggest me for this rollup pls ?

#

I did it by follow readme file. So my BE its updated to FW2.0 but mod is not

alpine sundial
#

What have you tried? As in how did you follow the steps?

steady stratus
#

I downloaded the file from here and extracted to new folder, then downloaded the firmware file from Bandai's main website and put it in the same folder, then copied it to the micro SD card and inserted it into the BE. The update was complete. There was a message that the firmware update was complete, but other features of the modd were not updated.

alpine sundial
#

Did you... read the readme?

steady stratus
#

Yep i did

cloud bridgeBOT
#
SHINKA!

@steady stratus has evolved into Baby I!

alpine sundial
#

Doesn't seem like you followed it since you didn't mention anything about running the patching program

steady stratus
#

Yeah im run Patch cmd once. Before copy FW to sd card by following bandai instruction. Step by step

alpine sundial
#

Did the patch command tell you it succeeded?

Just wondering, is allowing Bem Digimon to play through original Dim adventures a thing that's planned for the mod?

alpine sundial

Not until stat scaling is figured out

ayuda me sale error

alpine sundial
#

Outline the steps that you've followed

loud root
alpine sundial
#

OK. Did you read in the readme that if you use the 99F file it's supposed to give an error, and then you swap it for the patched firmware file?

loud root
alpine sundial
#

Read the readme

loud root

#

It still doesn't work for me, follow the instructions

alpine sundial
#

What part doesn't work?

loud root
#

The part about deleting VBBE_99F.vb2 and then putting the patched VBBE_20A.vb2 still gives me Error 02

cloud bridgeBOT
#
SHINKA!

@loud root has evolved into Baby I!

alpine sundial
#

Did you download a fresh copy of the firmware and patch it? If you've run the patch script multiple times, it may mess things up

#

If you've run the 99F file, your BE should currently have no firmware. If there is firmware, then your card is incompatible

loud root
#

Yes, I downloaded a new one and patched it. I put in VBBE_99F.vb2 and then the patched VBBE_99F.vb2, and it still comes up

alpine sundial
#

You're supposed to get an error when using 99F. After you remove the microSD card, does the BE still boot?

loud root
alpine sundial
#

What happens when you boot without the microSD card?

loud root
loud root
alpine sundial
#

OK, at least that sounds like the card is working. Make sure you delete the 99F file before trying it again, or it'll always try to install that because it'll install the highest version that is on the card

loud root
alpine sundial
#

Just delete the file

loud root
#

it's half true?

alpine sundial
#

That's the patch file. You need to put the firmware in the same directory, then run patch.cmd

#

Don't pay attention to those X's, they're from the onedrive

#

como me doy cuenta si ya esta instalado el mod? tendrai que salir 2.0 A o 2.0 B

#

?

alpine sundial
#

I don't think there's a 2.0.B

then that's it :3

sorry for all the inconvenience

I am kinda new in all of this modding stuffs

can someone pin me which is the latest mod?

#

and is there a page about what it includes or something like? thanks in advance

There is a way to make a DIM card into a BEM if I don't have the original BEM to extract the OTP??

is it possible for the vs memory to be usable after the mod

No

Thats a shame

Planned but far from implementation

#

How would i vs others in person then

alpine sundial
#

You don't

sonic tendon
#

Cyanic just pondering would something like the trophy system from training gear digimon link where you gain extra AP and DP for battles help alleviate dims being much weaker on the BE?

alpine sundial
#

The main problem there is where would you actually store extra stats. I've also got no plans to introduce extra stats for the sake of having more stats.

#

The battle algorithm has already been adjusted back to how it works on VB for Dims

sonic tendon
#

Ah gotcha thanks for the response

Hi I was wondering when I’m using my dim card mon I can’t gain any pp so I can evolve my digimon what do I do

#

It’s on the countinous training thing but I don’t gain any

signal bloom
#

first off, this is a thread for a VB mod and should be asking in #modern_vpets
secondly, you probably can't train because your training timer ran out

Im new here and to the vital modding community
I have a Vital DM not BE. I'm thinking the DM can't be modded?

alpine sundial
#

There is a mod for the original Vital Bracelet, but it is no longer available. There is also a mod for Vital Hero, but that is specifically for Vital Hero Digimon. If you have an older VB, it is not compatible

@alpine sundial Cyanic, is there a way to add a progress bar that fills up as you gain vitals that are necessary for evolution on the home screen?

alpine sundial

That's an interesting idea. Not sure there's actually space for it on the main screen, but it's something I could consider

Will you consider release an OTPless MOD for BE?
Since now we only have fake and scalpers for BEM and Bandai won't proffit from it anymore.

Not quite a year yet since VB Arena was discontinued. Give it about half a year after that.

wind sentinel
#

Just noticed an error: when a mon gets injured in adventure battle, it shows the background n°1 (I had n. 4 selected and was on an adventure with n. 5).

alpine sundial
#

There are some screens that the firmware has hardcoded to the first background, such as when doing an NFC transfer

#

So if it's not using the default get background function, then it's originally hardcoded to a particular background

wind sentinel
#

I see

gray merlin
#

I know this would be so much more involved, but a larger screen mod would be incredible. I'm sure that would need to be it's own project on its own what with resolution changes and UI needing to change as well, but still I'd go feral

alpine sundial
#

Very unlikely. Everything's set up for 80x160, so any different, at least the backgrounds won't fit. Plus there's no framebuffer or PPU, so no scaling of sprites without tanking performance. Not to mention a lack of space for larger sprites

gray merlin
#

Yeahhh that tracks. I feel like the process would just be constant bugfixing, and probably wouldn't be accessible or even worth doing for several years

#

But by then I'm sure we'll get a new digivice toy so like

opal heron
#

I am now trapped in the squats exercise until I hold the bottom button. It doesn't seem to track any of my squats after doing that. Otherwise I am stuck getting a "good" score endlessly.

frank kindle

Sounds like the correct behavior to me

So how am I supposed to evolve my digimon?
