Training Gear: Digimon Link Pendulum 1.5 | Nurture Train Battle

[winged spire]

I am SO HYPE cant wait to get home and upgrade tonight

[hollow drum]

Thanks so much for the continued development!

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @trim pivot (current: #32 - 61)

[hearty gorge]

Oh, this is awesome. I'm still waiting on the parts for the programing, so this update rolled out at a perfect time.

[spiral vortex]

What a good day! Got my card back (only an 8 but I'll take it) plus a Link update!

[fiery vale]

This mod is insane (in a good way), it makes VH even more advanced than the BE!
And you turned the VB into a v-pet with Real DM. Impressive is not enough a term to describe it.

Now I'm sad the VH aren't as cheap here.

[trim pivot]

Thanks we appreciate that! Just curious where about are you? You don't have to be too jealous either, the prices are starting to go up here in the states.
You used to be able to get a red and blue VH for $11 on Wal-Mart. Now they're up to $18 something

[spiral vortex]

@trim pivot Three questions;

1. Just to confirm, its: store digimon in app->Use Backup to restore VH->Replace patch on DiM->Install back to VH like normal correct?
2. Could the partner assists in battle from BE be implemented?
3. Do you have the link to rhe CIM discord, I tried a quick search in here and couldn't find it. Thanks for all you guys do!

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @trim pivot (current: #31 - 62)

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

@spiral vortex has evolved into Baby II!

[pearl shoal]

This is merely a request concerning the guide.
I realise there must be some reason for this, but currently the text cannot be copied. Could you please enable copying of these text, or alternatively provide them as a text file?
Would it be possible to consider allowing copying so that the text can be translated?
I can understand some passages, but without a translation, I cannot grasp the full meaning of the entire text.
Thank you for your consideration.

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @trim pivot (current: #31 - 63)

[trim pivot]

1. Yup you got it, just make sure to keep the backup on the DIM like last time and save to the computer for extra saftey.
2. That is a possibility, It wouldn't be exactly the same but the same effect could be implemented
3. I'm not sure about the rules of sharing links to other Discords so I'll DM ya

[spiral vortex]

Awesome, thank you!

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @trim pivot (current: #30 - 64)

[trim pivot]

Ya, I can definitely look into that. I have some ideas of what can be done.

[cyan nimbus]

Oh it'd be so cool to start rolling more BE mechanics into this

The one thing I really liked about the BE was the support assist during battles

Saved my Digimon's butt several times

[dim magnet]

Trying to modify animations for battles is extremely annoying

[winged spire]

I always really love your video overviews of this btw, they're so cool! Amazing work

[vast trout]

Wonder if it's possible to have adventures encounters on backup Dims pull from said Dim instead of acting like an instant battle button on your current one

[fiery vale]

Yeah, I took a peek at Amazon US after posting and I noticed that. I wasn't sure if it was real, however, because Amazon is known to manipulate prices for users.
As for my location... I won't tell! (definitely not from the USA, that should be obvious by now)

[turbid notch]

At this point, why would you even bother in having a VB BE? xD

This mod is pretty amaizing so far.

[olive onyx]

This is so awesome! Thank you!

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @trim pivot (current: #30 - 65)

[olive onyx]

I just updated mine 😄 I've been really loving the digivice version. I love that it reverts back to rookie every night 🩵

[broken mountain]

Exist any límit to get powerups?

[cyan nimbus]

You must be raising Swolemon or something, sheesh

[dim magnet]

The added stats is probably going to overflow at some point

[turbid notch]

Yay :p

[quasi summit]

Installing the update tonight! My excitement cannot be contained

[sly glade]

Hi friends, general question, if i don't meet requirements to digivolve, will my digimon stay the same stage? Thank you!

[dim magnet]

Everything works the same way that they have before, except in the Digivice version where it resets every midnight

[spiral vortex]

Love that shell!

[eager harbor]

@spiral vortex has leveled up! (1 ➜ 2)

[sly glade]

goat. thank you!

[spiral vortex]

Depends on the version you're using. If its the digital monster variant than either the timer will reset, or it'll attempt to digivolve to a digimon that has the requirements met. If that digimon is not the one you want you can hold the B button to cancel the digivolution and reset the timer

[dim magnet]

You cannot cancel evolution for the real monster version

[frank parcel]

@trim pivot Is it possible to add a way to max out trophies/stats instantly in the next update, you know for lazy players who don't want to spend too much time on training?

[dim magnet]

That seems to defeat the whole point of a vpet toy

Why not just have a GIF at that point

[viscid raven]

if we evo fail in real digital monster version, does the evo timer reset or the Digimon can no longer evolve again?

[dim magnet]

It'll reset, however there's penalties above a certain stage

[viscid raven]

got it, thanks

[turbid notch]

Thats kinda lame, my dude xD

[fluid owl]

Wow I can't believe there's an update already! I'm looking forward to giving this a shot as long as I can walk away from Time Stranger long enough to remember

[trim pivot]

This is not meant to shame anyone, however, after seeing some recent activity on this thread based on someone's question I do feel the need to say this, I don't want to discourage joking and having fun. However, I really don't want to encourage a culture where snark or teasing is directed at anyone or group in particular.

I value all input and I don't want to mock or exclude someone for asking a question or requesting something that they would enjoy.

I'm not taking the moral high ground either, there's been times in life where I've been bullied and sadly in my youth where I've even been the bully myself. So I'm not judging anyone, none of us are perfect. Since I've been on both sides, I do know what it feels like to be excluded mocked and shunned

and in extention I know the regret one feels when you realize the effects bullying and public ridicule really does to someone else.

Not to get into drama but I've been the target of ostrazicing and ridicule from certain members of this Discord community outside of this thread during the coarse of this Summer. I don't want to create a space that copies their behavior.

Just days ago, when a couple of people where being judgmental and accusatory towards me on this Discord, because I shared this 1.5 update of Digimon Link, in the modding sections I was very, very thankful when two very kind members stood up for me and showed compassion. I believe it's important to stand up for others like those two had done for me even if it's scary to do so at times or if it makes you unpopular.

A part of making someone feel othered is not only making comments but stacking up emoji's against someone as well. All of it piles up into making a person feel excluded and like I said as a person who's been excluded in my life I would never wish that feeling on anyone, and I know none of you would either as I know all of you are good people deep down.

Thank you

[trim pivot]

I appreciate your input, unfortunately as mentioned that may not fit with the design choices of Digimon Link as it is meant to be played as a game where you grow along side your Digimon and a part of that growth is gaining trophies.

However, there are various ways to boost the amount of trophies you earn in game to help you gain them faster

[last basalt]

sorry. noob question but does anyone know how i can check if my firmware is the 1.5 one? i did the noobie mistake of not reverting to backup before updating from 1.1 to 1,5 but im not sure if its installed

[trim pivot]

1.5 will not have a vitals menu and Odyssey will be in the main menu

[last basalt]

ooo okie! thank you so much it looks like im still on 1,1 then

oh yeah that makes sense. It failed during the backup and didnt patch

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

@last basalt has evolved into Baby I!

[quasi summit]

Curious, can new wallpapers still be unlocked through adventure/odyssey?

[dim magnet]

No

They're all available by default

Specifically, the default grid, the time of day, current Dim, and backup Dim

[quasi summit]

I see, thank you! 🙂

[turbid notch]

BTW, at this point, is it necesary the green light lector thing?

[dim magnet]

Not sure what you mean

[turbid notch]

Did you see that "green led sensor"? That it suppouse to read your heart rating? I feel i not making myself clear....sorry for that.

[dim magnet]

It still does stuff

[turbid notch]

Oooh, okey, great then. I will refrain of doing a shell mod then, thank you!

[dim magnet]

It's mostly limited now to just updating activity level. If you want to wear your VB normally and have it sort of track your heart rate, it still does that

If you want to put it in a shell, you can also do that. There's no more penalties for not wearing (aside from the 24 hour timer), so the only change is you need to be more hands on with managing your VP and mood

[turbid notch]

Awesome! Thanks for the enlightment!
(I have another new VH so i want it to make a shell mod in that one xD)

[spiral vortex]

I have mine in a custom shell and have had no issues raising my mons with this mod. So you should be good to go!

[turbid notch]

I will mod it then! Thanks! 😮

[quasi summit]

I admit I already miss the black grid background from the earlier version. 😅

Is it possible any future updates could provide different color versions of the grid? Like a bin for those who like the blue grid, and a different bin for those who prefer the black grid? I hope my question is clear. :>

[eager harbor]

@quasi summit has leveled up! (1 ➜ 2)

SHINKA!

@quasi summit has evolved into Baby II!

[dim magnet]

There's already too many variants, it's going to be impossible to manage adding more

[cyan nimbus]

Did the day night cycle backgrounds take all the slots for backgrounds?

[dim magnet]

Sort of not really. There's a lot of extra graphical assets that required backgrounds to be cut, and ultimately it left few available spaces for background options. The time of day wallpaper is interesting enough on its own and avoided having to pick which of the old backgrounds to retain

[cyan nimbus]

Gotcha

I prefer the timeshifting background over solid colors myself

[quasi summit]

I love the time shifting background but the blue bg for menus and stats is difficult for me to read. It's nowhere near as bad as the official though, so I can deal 🙂

[turbid notch]

the current one its pretty neat.

I like this blue one.

[bronze gyro]

I don't have a good sense of timelines and expectations; in digivice mode is getting to mega going to be tight or is that turnaround time to reach max level pretty reasonable?

[trim pivot]

If you are trying to get to mega in 1 day on Digivice with stock settings it may be a challenge but
You can also edit the DIM to lower the evolution requirements to your liking as well which will make it very manageable

[vast trout]

instant battles/no effort champions notwithstanding, will say that it is doable so on a work day doing adventures with the odd trophy training, maybe even with a desk job

the battery will almost certainly die out by home time if you spend too much time adventuring and especially training, even an hour's worth of the latter is pushing it

[bronze gyro]

oh really? I'm getting my VH tomorrow, ordered it online. I didn't realize the battery was so tight

I might lower the requirements in that case. I'm working on a custom DIM rn that I'll use for it

[vast trout]

granted, no vb's really built for continuous training, they're already bogus on the battery front as is

[cyan nimbus]

Related note

How many steps do you earn by beating enemies in Odyssey/Adventure mode?

[trim pivot]

The conversation above got me thinking about your situation, while you can't change the Power Trophy system you can edit your DIMS evo

requirements to like 1 evo trophy for Greymon , 2 evo trophies for Orgemon ect. or how ever you'd like.

You'd still have to get Power Trophies if you want to play in Odyssey but you could enjoy the Modrollup battles with 0 Power Trophies just fine.

[vast trout]

still hoping for a way to clear/decrease power trophies in the future, kinda wanna struggle again save of just sticking to rookies

[trim pivot]

You just progress down the map. In certain stages there are rare spawns tho and if you beat them you go forward 500 steps. There's more info in the manual

[cyan nimbus]

Sick

I just noticed that the battles were randomly occuring rather than via steps

Since I was wearing the band on ADV mode while at my desk

[trim pivot]

ADV mode has been modified, it's called Odyssey now. The encounters and bosses have been made way stronger so you don't have to worry about Trophy Power over kill like last time

[vast trout]

hmm

still, i better update my vh's and take a look-see

[bronze gyro]

I'll go read the manual more to try and answer my questions, but this is really the first v-pet I'll ever engage with as an adult; how do trophies work/how do they affect my digimon?

[dim magnet]

There's evolution trophies and power trophies

Evolution trophies work as they usually do. Power trophies boost your battle stats

[cyan nimbus]

10 dumbbell trophies = overall stat boost

regular trophies are necessary for digivolution

[bronze gyro]

How does "requires unlock" interact with this mod? should I just change all digimon to have no unlock flag?

[dim magnet]

Still works the same as it always has

There aren't changes that affect the core gameplay, only builds on top

[bronze gyro]

Could you provide a bit of guidance on how it works in the base game then, if it's easy to explain

[dim magnet]

https://humulos.com/digimon/vbdm/manual/

[bronze gyro]

ty

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

@bronze gyro has evolved into Baby II!

[bronze gyro]

getting my questions answered is boosting me

[fluid owl]

So does this mean I do way too much walking training 😂

[dim magnet]

Just note that the upper limit for each stat is somewhere around 64k, so those numbers may roll over but miss a few digits

[cunning flint]

hey so, I made the rookie mistake of not backing up the original VH data after installing 1.1 and then overwrote the VS DIM with 1.5.
How ducked am I now?

[fluid owl]

Ok that's a trippy picture for power trophies. Do these two images make sense?

[bronze gyro]

your phone has astigmatism

[fluid owl]

It sure does. That's a new one for it 😅

[cyan nimbus]

Hope you have spare cash to buy a new vh

[frank parcel]

Can someone pls tell me how to toggle clock to 12hr format? I tried A+B on home screen but nothing happened. And press and hold A+B just makes digimon nap.

[frigid python]

I wanted to genuinely respond to this as it caught me off guard:
I genuinely did not expect folks to participate in harassment nor for my or others interactions without emojis to come of as such.
I want to clear up that from my experience, reacting to things is my form of engagement due to lack of time to respond or too many things to check on. It's never been to harass anyone or make others feel left out. If that has been the case and I have come off as such, I did not mean to do so and I will genuinely apologize.
I'd like to believe in the case of me and D-breaker, we were joking around about having an easy win button and how it was a little silly to have an auto complete button. This was not to downplay the user's genuine needs, nor to harass them. I didnt even consider the possibility of a user need such a thing due to their own case. That was a complete oversight on my part. If the user took it as such, I have no problem with apologizing to them for making them feel that way.
I also do not want to disregard your experience and past experience because such things are never "fun" to go through.
Though I dont know the full story for lack of more sleuthing, your case with the DL bashing was uncalled for. To keep it short and simple: if they had nothing good to say, they could have not said anything at all. By pressing send, they were openly and negatively bashing your project willingly. Very unfair and uncalled for.

Tldr;
Sorry if I offended y'all, I didnt not mean to do so and I apologize. I also offer my condolences for you having to deal with such experiences 🙏

[frank parcel]

Also what are the are various ways to boost the amount of trophies?

[dim magnet]

On the date screen

I recommend reading the manual for further questions about new functionality, it's almost all covered there. Any interactions you can do are described.

[cyan nimbus]

Where is the mood bar located now?

Or is it completely replaced by Pulse?

[spiral vortex]

It is now the pulse symbol

[bronze gyro]

Does this mod work with the arena app? I wasnt sure what functionality of the app was still live as well

[olive onyx]

yup you can still send your digimon to the vb arena app and back to the vh

[cunning flint]

Is it possible to use the VH backup from someone else with the same device?
Vital Hero Red Dinosaur Roar to be precise.

[trim pivot]

I understand, it’s easy to make mistakes and get caught up in the moment of having fun. I know you all are just passionate about Vpets like me and weren't looking to purposely make someone feel bad about their idea.

It took a lot of true humility to say what you said and sincerely apologize. Not many people can do that. The fact that you didn’t try to justify things with excuses, but instead took a step back and considered that maybe you could have done something wrong, shows real character. ❤

And thank you for having sympathy for my situation as well, and for showing compassion and support.

I won't go into all the details, but for clarity outside of this thread, theres some who have decided to act in hiding Digmon Link, with some negativity, mocking, dismissiveness, and gatekeeping around this project.

I'm the type of person who keeps all my problems to myself, but it’s been a weight I’ve had to work through while continuing the project.

I've also had to put a lot of vocal energy in protecting the life of this project because this group outside of this thread who are aware of Digimon Link have been gatekeeping and purposely not answering people's questions about Digimon Link and telling them where to find it or even listing it as a VB modding option. Despite them answering everyone else's questions and promptly guiding people to everyone else's mods and projects outside of Digimon Link.

Even going as far as, publicly making fun of Digimon Link, leaving shrug emojis on this project's emoji reactions when I haven't seen any other project here recieve such hate and being subtly dismissive to people who praise Digimon Link outside this thread, not letting them voice their opinon by making sure to always step in and say how the BE is still better though.

I've had to step in many times and be vocal, guiding people to this mod who have asked where to find it that went unanswered for hours and correcting miss information about this mod

And by doing so, because I'm the only one who speaks up for Digimon Link outside of this thread continuously it has given the appearance to those unaware of the situation that I'm being self promoting when in reality I've been going against gatekeeping, subtle bullying and helping people find what they are looking for.

I didn't make Digimon Link with Cyanic to get into a popularity turf war with members of this community who are clearly very passionate about the BE. I just wanted to make something affordable and fun

But besides all the drama I'm happy Digimon Link has continued to grow and that many of you are enjoying it.

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @frigid python (current: #346 - 4)

[trim pivot]

You can wait for the training call which is the dumbbell icon over your Digimon which gives ×2 results in evo and power training for a short time

Or you can get Supa happy status by walking way over your step count or shaking like crazy which will also give X2 training results for a limited time.

[trim pivot]

Unfortunately no, each backup is unique to the specific installation it came. So every time you install DL you need to save that new backup and the past one is no longer useful.

I'm sorry for you being locked out

[frank parcel]

ok, thanks

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @trim pivot (current: #30 - 66)

[turbid notch]

I didnt say anything but cool things about the mod.
Its amaizing 😄

[trim pivot]

Ya, I don't want to get too sappy as I have a habit of doing that lol 😭 but your enjoyment of the project has been very touching and motivating 🙂

• Also I just wanted to clear up, I know you haven't said anything bad about the mod in this thread. Everyone here has been great,

when I was talking about my situation it was about events happening outside of this thread and what happens if people praise or talk about Digimon Link out there

[turbid notch]

awww~

[hasty current]

Omg 1.5 is amazing. Literal game changer.

[turbid notch]

oh i didnt finish reading xD

[trim pivot]

Yaa, i'm guilty of monoliths sometimes, that's me 😂 but you can be confident you’ll always come away with the full picture afterwards lol

[bronze gyro]

Should I have a planned timeline to work through a DIM with the odyssey mode? I wasn't sure if I'll be running out of content or if the changes to adventure mode or if it would create a bigger hurdle to get over

[proper hatch]

Just wanted to say that project looks awesome! The vital hero was what encouraged me to actually do some basic exercises in high school so I'm glad to see I can give it a shot again with some new features. Now I just gotta wait for the hardware to arrive

[trim pivot]

What's cool is it all depends on how you edit your DIMS. With the programmer you are using to install Digimon Link you can edit the DIMS with Cfrogrady's DIM modifier so that the length of the ADV mode stages are as long or short as you like.

You could set like an adv stage to 100 steps or 5000.

Besides that, the only thing that will make the new adv mode longer is having to get Power Trophies to beat the Digimon, going through the time triggerd encounters and having to redo steps if you lose against them. If you lower the step count, like I mentioned it won't be as hard though.

[cyan nimbus]

One thing that disappoints me about the 1.5 update

The pre battle blurb isn't SHOW ME YOUR BRAVE HEART anymore

I thought that was cute

[bronze gyro]

Thats nice. I was worried about burning through it too quick, so maybe Ill add some padding to let it stay as a nice lifestyle device for longer.

Does the digivice mode match the mechanics of other older vpets/digivices? I prefer the idea of mechanics working like the anime

[dim magnet]

It just means you can evolve whenever and the mon resets at midnight

[cyan nimbus]

You can raise two Digimon on the same device

I keep accidentally jogressing though lol

[dim magnet]

You can raise one and store one

Although now you can tick the timer in the backup as well

[cyan nimbus]

Yeah that's what I mean

I like this new storage timer function

[quasi summit]

It's still there. 🙂

[cyan nimbus]

Oh shit

Nevermind that's cool

I haven't done NFC battles yet

[bronze gyro]

Yeah, Cyanic, I get that. I was just curious if other digivices had inspired the mechanic

[cyan nimbus]

Doin some plottin

I'm trying to raise both tailmon and blacktailmon on the same band

Unfortunate situation: tailmon jogresses into rareraremon when there's a blacktailmon in storage

:')

[quasi summit]

I've had to randomly reset the clock twice now after looking at the digimon menu. Has anyone else encountered such a thing?

It isn't consistent, but it happened once last night and then a minute ago. I can't seem to intentionally replicate it

[dim magnet]

People have been reporting that, my best guess is something's taking ever slightly too long to draw stuff, but at the same time it also doesn't make sense why that happens since all the draw calls should be refreshing the timer that resets the system if it freezes

[cyan nimbus]

Not showing up for me when I do the battles

Weird

Maybe it's random

[dim magnet]

It depends on version

[cyan nimbus]

Oh is it only in real dm?

[trim pivot]

Real DM and DM

[cyan nimbus]

Huh

I'm on DM and it just says Digimon FIGHT

[quasi summit]

I'm on Digivice (pendulum), so that must be it

[bronze gyro]

Setting up my VH with this mod tn; I figured I should check: is there any compatibility issues if I want to later use my VH to setup a VitalWear if I've implemented this mod?

Also, while I'm getting questions answered: one element I've been a bit confused by is stat raising: am I capped by time how much I can raise a digimon's stats (like, for example, only for the first X hours of their life) or is there no timer on stat raising in this version?
Took some agency and looked a little deeper on this question and got my answer: the 100h limit isn't in the VH base

[hasty current]

This is true. That is a BE "feature"

Love how if you praise for no reason you get "Yay?" Lmao

[bronze gyro]

smh, sometimes everyone wants to get praised for no reason, VBs calling us out

[cyan nimbus]

Yay?

-800 Vitals

[bronze gyro]

ooph

[trim pivot]

Just noticed this question, Ironically the aspects that most matches the mechanics of the original pedometer Digivices are the Dlink mechanics that arent exclusive to the Digivice Ver.

The mechanics that are the biggest callback to the pedometer digivice toys is the new adv mode, Odyssey, where you have encounter battles as you walk to the boss and you go back in steps if you lose. That's pretty much backbone of how all the classic Digivices played out. Minus whatever other special features each individual device had like Card Slash on the D-Ark or the Electronic Search like in the D-3.

The de evolving at night feature that's exclusive to the Dlink Digivice is actually a call back to a game called the Digimon Pendulum Cycle.

It's called Dlink Digivice Ver. because like the anime the Digimon revert to child, so it's a nod to that. The original digivice pedometer games weren't raising Vpet pets like the Vital Bracelets so your Digimon would stay a child indefinitely, evolve only during battles and revert back to child right after.

Another monolith post but interesting info about the history of Digimon LCDs none the less

[cursive trench]

Hey! I've got a question
Is the adventure, now odyssey, still crashing with the demo DIMs?

[dim magnet]

It shouldn't anymore

[verbal stone]

How about those time savings MODs, can they be implemented??

[dim magnet]

That depends on what @trim pivot wants

[trim pivot]

Koruzatou has actually just kindly offered his mod features for the use of Digimon Link. I've been looking into them and they are all very good features.

Not all of them fit into the overall game design of Digimon Link but there are a number that do. In particular

The Fast Button Battle skip, which would be great in allowing people to skip through battles in public spaces, If you need to stop the battle quickly for reasons or if you just don't care to watch it.

And disabling the HRM light in hopes of saving a little bit of battery usage.

Cyanic and I will definitely be looking more into the features for a future update.

[cyan nimbus]

The light does seem like a bit of an extraneous feature considering you don't need it anymore

[dim magnet]

I personally prefer it actually adjusting exercise level on its own rather than having to do everything through menus

Will also have to see what to replace the second condition of training with

[trim pivot]

Ya, even though we made the HRM functions In game very insignificant, it still does determine a couple of small things like how many Trophies you get in training like Cyanic mentioned.

Definitely would have to re work a few logic for some background functions if we do actually end up going that route

[hearty gorge]

So I’ve seen someone selling custom dim cards with different evolution trees. Would those work with the mod as well? Idk how the software works for compatibility.

[dim magnet]

Any Dim that would work on a VH would work

There's nothing explicitly stated as incompatible with any other part of the ecosystem

[hearty gorge]

Okay. Thank you.

[bronze gyro]

I won't be able to finish my setup today since I'm having some cabling issues, but I am looking into the installation process and wanted to clarify: Is the entirety of the setup process just installing a DIM card? I am a little confused if that means this conflicts with custom dim projects or if the DIM card is just a device used to transfer the firmware update.

[dim magnet]

It's software delivered on a Dim. Just like a CD, if anyone still remember how software used to be distributed

[bronze gyro]

lol, dw, I'm old, just not used to DIM as a memory storage device

ok, so whatever custom DIM for digimon I have installed before/after won't conflict then, that's good

[vivid quail]

You just made me feel old. I remember the old days when we had software on disk.

I still use CDs for my data storage because hard drives have went up in price and I am afraid of the clicking sound of deaf on a mechanical drive fail

[midnight spoke]

i just downloaed the 1.5 update and im absolutly loving it! im still learning how it works, but i had a quick question about changing the time from 12HR/24HR . it says to quick press the a+b button on the (home screen?) date screen and nothing is happening, Does anyone know how to fix it? its not necessary but i like 24hr time

[dim magnet]

Make sure you actually see the date before pressing the two buttons

Press and release, do not hold

[midnight spoke]

thank you! i realized pushing B is what brings it to the screen i needed. I need the learn this better lol

[stiff panther]

We don’t have the happy meter in 1.5 anymore?

[dim magnet]

It's been replaced with a different presentation

[quasi summit]

I love the happiness meter being a pulse + our digimon cheering when it's full. It feels very immersive this way

[frigid python]

We used to get trials via mail

[bronze gyro]

In digivice mode, will my stats reset as my digimon de-digivolves? I had been assuming as much so far

[dim magnet]

Power trophies do not

[eager harbor]

@dim magnet has leveled up! (70 ➜ 71)

[bronze gyro]

ok, so I'm building towards the 999s, but I am resetting my current digivolution (and progress towards future digivolutions)

that matches what I assumed and makes sense, perfect

[olive onyx]

has anyone had experience on the 1.5 where the VH resets to the date/time setting screen when a button is pressed/held? It happened to me a couple of times on both digivice ver and real digital monster and im not sure if it's a bug in the mod or if theres something wrong in my VH 🥲 ive really been enjoying this mod though

[viscid raven]

I have pretty much reported this bug to Comic Munch

I'm sure they are looking into it

[olive onyx]

Ah okay, thanks @viscid raven ! I was just worried that my VH was broken or something haha

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @viscid raven (current: #75 - 26)

[viscid raven]

Tbh same lol, and it was hard to record too cause it happened at random when you open the calendar

[hollow drum]

Looks like the version 1.1 zip is still the pinned message in this thread

[trim pivot]

Yes, we have no control of what get pinned. Only moderators have control of that.

If a moderator doesn't automatically pin the content it's up to someone to ask them to do it. Last 1.1 Update I DMed a moderator and asked them to pin the last update folder after it wasn't pinned for a couple of days.

I'm waiting to ask moderator to do it again because there is currently a mild bug in 1.5 that has been creeping up for more and more people. When we release the updated package with the fix I will ask them to pin that one.

[turbid notch]

I think there is something "messy" in the digimon menu.
It doesnt show me the lv5/perfect digimon in the evolution line.
And it show me twice the Ultimate digimon while scrolling.

[trim pivot]

Thanks for reporting that. We'll look into that as well

[fiery vale]

Showing twice may be normal. An unmodded bracelet normally shows up to 7 (at least, not tested more) previous consecutive levels, so it can show you the two ultimates you got (that's because there's no lv.7\6+, they're all lv.6). That's assuming you're on Digivice ver., of course (or that you have a custom dim that comes back to a previous level).
Not showing a lv5, however, is not normal, unless it's been skipped by a custom dim (and even then, it shouldn't then show any lv.6, current digimon excluded).

[turbid notch]

Nop, just Angoramon's DiM.
Shows Current digimon (Anubismon), baby1, baby2, child, adult, ultimate, "type - baby 1", ultimate, "type VA age: 020", back to baby1.

thats while scrolling with the lower button in the first menu.

I will try wil LordPumpmon.

[fiery vale]

The ultimate you're referring is your current (Anubis), right?

[turbid notch]

well...thts odd...with Noble Pumpmon it shows all correct...

[turbid notch]

yes.

[fiery vale]

Digivice version?

[viscid raven]

if you don't mind, can you record the case with Anubis?

[turbid notch]

sure!

Sorry for the awkward grip.

[viscid raven]

oh yeah that is indeed weird that perfect got skipped

[turbid notch]

The thing is, it doesnt happend with Noble Pumpmon.

Could it be something ... weird happend to my Anubismon??

I could try other digimon, or send it back to the lab, but i dont have my dims with me right now.

[bronze gyro]

Ill be setting up for first time today, would you recommend the more stable 1.1 until 1.5 is patched?

Also you can go to the 1.1 pin and edit that message so the newest versions dont always need to be re-pinned

Or better yet your thread permissions can be edited to give you mod permissions only within this thread, if thats easier

[trim pivot]

The bug isn't major, just sometimes you may scroll on the date page and the device will reset. Afterwards you'll have to turn the device off manually for DIMS to work as well
No damage will be done however, more of an inconvenience.

I'm actually really glad you mentioned editing the pins.

I'll just put the packet on Google Drive and share the link.
That way I can just edit the pinned message as needed that will make things much more efficient.

[cyan nimbus]

I'm the type of person that scrolls to the first message of the channel

That's how I ended up with 1.0 for half a week before realizing "wait there's a 1.1?"

[dim magnet]

Your evolution history is corrupted. Somehow it jumped from Porcupamon to Anubimon. Is this the Digivice version, and are you using the official app?

[turbid notch]

Its the Digital monster version. I never use other version.

And i use the app.

Notnsure if i ever send him to nacabaro's app.

[dim magnet]

Nothing's changed for evolution history on non-Digivice versions, so it's probably cosmic rays

Or something weird on the app, but I don't think the app is usually supposed to modify evolution history

[trim pivot]

Lol, That's a good suggestion, thanks! I've placed the link to the latest Ver. 1.5 to the top post as well as edited the Pinned message with the 1.5 link as well.

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @cyan nimbus (current: #692 - 1)

[dim magnet]

It used to be possible for mons to die on the old app and that would reset a few things, but the new app doesn't do that as far as I'm aware

[alpine dagger]

So does this firm can be use for vb v now?

[cyan nimbus]

Only VH

[dim magnet]

No, who said that?

[alpine dagger]

Just asking

[dim magnet]

It's never been available for anything other than VH Digimon, and won't be in the future

[alpine dagger]

I see

Thank you for the info

[dim magnet]

BTW, technically the app can change the stage of the mon separately from the original data, so it is possible for the app to be messing with that and subsequently affect anything that uses that value

[turbid notch]

Marvelous =_=

[tawny bolt]

Something I've forgotten over time.
Can the VH/training gear hold more than one Dim at a time?

[dim magnet]

It has two slots

[tawny bolt]

Does It mingle them in battle/adventure/Odyssey?

[turbid notch]

So odd....

[dim magnet]

Depends on which Dim you select for adventure

For NFC battles it's just the current Dim

[tawny bolt]

Ok, that's kinda what I figured.

So at no time will your Digimon fight something from the other DIM

[dim magnet]

You can select the other Dim's adventure

[tawny bolt]

OH!

Rad

It will Just be the other dims adventure then without any of the local dims Digimon,
, but that's still pretty good

[dim magnet]

There are random encounters during adventure

[tawny bolt]

From both dims potentially?

[dim magnet]

No, just the Dim the adventure is from

[tawny bolt]

Ok

That's what I thought

[winged spire]

I just want to say that the needs for active digimon have legit actually gotten me up and moving on days i'd usually struggle to do so on, I do DDR every 2hrs to get my 1000 steps for my digimon lately 😂

[hearty gorge]

Is there a way to switch from Digital Monster to Digivice without losing progress or would I have to start over?

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

@hearty gorge has evolved into Baby I!

[dim magnet]

Just backup your mons to the app

[bronze gyro]

What mon is between Angora and Abubis?

[dim magnet]

Something that didn't get recorded. The next one over also isn't no mon, but an invalid index or something. If it was none, the list would have looped over when scrolling

[burnt haven]

Omigosh an update awesome!!

[burnt haven]

hey guys just small thing seems to be a spelling error for real digital monsters ver. its spells mmonster in the file name.

[trim pivot]

Thank you! That will be fixed

[burnt haven]

no problem! reading the pdf and watched some of the video and I am soooo excited you guys did awesome!!! seriously this mod has made my relationship with exercise and moving actually positive and I cant thank you both enough!

[trim pivot]

That is so great great hear!! You are actually the second one to mention being motivated to move more with the help of Digimon Link today.
I was a semi couch potatoe before the VB came out. I really only liked to take long walks, no running, exercising ect But the VB series and Cyanic's VBBE Mod Rollup encouraged me to really be a lot more active and I've seen it's effects in my life.

I really just wanted to pay that motivation that I got from the VB series forward with this mod. So I'm really glad to hear that both of you and others are getting more active 😭💪

[turbid notch]

Porpucumon? Or something like that. Its the "common" evolution of Phascomon.

So... i have an Special Anubismon no...

And i spend so much time with him that i will just pretend he is a chosenone who warp his evo (even if I saw him turn into a SkullBaluchimon...)

[burnt haven]

Same here about the base VB but then I heard on the vital braclet subreddit about this mod and I just had a feeling it would make a hugeeeee difference!!!(which it did) I always felt exercise was a chore but with this stuff i really just feel better and it feels fun! ty again!

[hearty gorge]

I just modded mine today with the 1.5 version and I've been really enjoying it. I'm definitely feeling it in my arms already. Lol

[bronze gyro]

so hype, just finished getting the mod setup; everything seems great

my one minor concern is I was playing the old version with sound off so it didn't actively interrupt my work day and I just checked periodically. Will the food/poop requirements of this mod require me being interruptable?

Also, for digivice version, I am assuming I can't skip past baby/training phase with the digivolve function. I am excited to start testing the systems, but setup took a lot longer than expected, so I've got to wait til I hit rookie now

[dim magnet]

The calls only make a sound if you turn the sound on. A few of them you are required to answer to keep up mood, but there's not many.

Any stage can have its evolution time cut in Digivice

[bronze gyro]

oh, ok, I am gonna go do that then. Get ghostmon live

where is the "evo library active" page?

found

It may be a hard ask, but it would be nice if the functionality of the device was clear on the device itself; having some capabilities very clear within the watch's UI and others only findable through the (really well made) research notes pdf necessitates some memorization of functions

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

@bronze gyro has evolved into Child!

[dim magnet]

Would be nice, but there isn't really much space for textual menus on a screen that size

[cyan nimbus]

I kinda wish there was a way to disable jogress lol

I have to evolve Tailmon first before raising BlackTailmon unless I really want Rare Raremon

[bronze gyro]

I think you should be able to by editing the dim

it's listed under "attribute fusions" unless I'm mistaken

[dim magnet]

Just move it to the app

[cyan nimbus]

That was what I did at first

But the VB Helper app has devoured my previous BlackTailmon

And refuses to release them

Alas!

[dim magnet]

You should file a bug with them

[cyan nimbus]

I would but it seems like a ton of people've already reported that issue

[bronze gyro]

do vitals reset like other levelling stats on digivolve?

[dim magnet]

Works the same as on stock

[bronze gyro]

which is...?

[dim magnet]

Read this https://humulos.com/digimon/vbdm/manual/

[bronze gyro]

I did, but I've been consuming a lot of info on this and BE and vitalwear and I don't remember; can you just gimme the answer on this one

[dim magnet]

It's the same on both BE and VB

[bronze gyro]

sure, I just mean I'm getting general systems jumbled cos I've been reading a lot of systems and in this moment I'm just asking you as a favour to just let me know cos I'm uncertain and a lot of sorting out this bracelet has been overwhelming.

[dim magnet]

VP remains up to adult stage, gets reset on evo after that

[bronze gyro]

ok, I appreciate it

this is a great project and I am excited for it, but definitely got burned out doing that soldering

[bronze gyro]

if I wanted to delete a digimon, I go to the egg with an x in the systems menu? I have to replace the custom DIM I made cos I didn't manage the transformations properly

[dim magnet]

No, that's factory reset

If you want to load an updated Dim without restarting the character, move it to the app, swap with backup, and move it back from the app, and you will be prompted to insert the corresponding Dim

Definitely read the manual

[bronze gyro]

I have, but

maybe I should just call it on this for tn; I'm not thinking clearly and I am worried I'll do something properly wrong so for rn I'll set this down

thanks for you help today

[burnt haven]

Make sure when you're transferring when it says whoops to move your vital hero and let it reset before tapping it again, of what I understand sometimes the app will not get a full read which will causes duplicates or the digimon being trapped inside or both! Just make sure to not throw digimon in there you care about because its still very alpha

[trim pivot]

If you want to delete a Digimon just move it to VB Areana which this mod is fully compatible with. Go to the assign section find that Digimon, select it and press Delete.

I feel like Neo Saiba giving that advice 💀 ( V-Tamer refference)

One small correction above. Vitals stay until you reach the Child / Rookie stage. Then they reset every evolution.

And like correctly mentioned above, if you have a Digimon and want to edit it's contents of the card it's on by modifying the DIM without deleting it or starting a new Digimon.

Just sent it to the app. Put a different Digimon to the home screen on Digimon Link so that if forces the watch to ask for you to insert the card before sending the Digimon back from the app,

Edit the DIM's contents with the DIM modifier program and then when Digimon Link ask you to insert the DIM when transferring back from the app insert the newly edited DIM.

Now when the Digimon returns to Digimon Link device it will have the changes.

That way you don't have to delete the Digimon unnecessarily.

If you change major contents of the DIM like the actually roster layout and number it might not be able to be changed this way*

[viscid raven]

I will never forget the way he deleted his MetalGreymon 💀

[fiery vale]

Mmh, yesterday night I was trying out Pendulum 1.1 Digivice ver. and a weird error appeared.
I had two dims on it: Infinite Tide (custom) and Angoramon (modded). On screen: Mamemon (InTi), sleeping waiting to evolve, in backup: Cerberumon (Angora).
I didn't want to reach midnight and let characters reset, but I forgot, so when I checked, Mamemon went back to Betamon. Oh, well.
I then took Cerberumon out and in the evo list (the new menu), after listing his two evolutions, it listed another perfect and Cerberumon itself, but both with graphical errors in some text.
No such error was present with Betamon.
It then disappeared when I changed the time to let Cerberumon revert (I wanted to see for myself if there was any animation).

I'm worried the revert in Digivice version may be a bit unstable.
Cyanic, how did you implement it?
Is there a reason why you didn't call the evolution function?

[trim pivot]

There was a bug reported where when you revert to the child stage in 1.1 it allows it to gain more vitals than it should.
That was fixed in 1.5

Besides that the de digivolving mechanics have been stable since ver. 1 release. Except for another bug reported about Digivice that was caused by modded DIMS. As the DIM didn't have any child level Digimon actually registered which caused a visual crash in game.

I'm curious if the visual glitch mentioned in the evo library is also from modded DIMS.

Standard DIMS don't cause any problems but when it comes to modded DIMS if they aren't calibrated 100% ( missing evo stages, No baby Digimon ect ) as they would have been in stock form it has potential to cause problems for Digimon Link

[fiery vale]

I thought the first bug you mention had been corrected by ver. 1.1.
But that aside, my Dims are calibrated, they don't have those noob mistakes. I have been modding Dims for a while now and I'm also the person who helped debugging what you describe, if you recall.
This was 100% an issue on the firmware part. And that's why I'm worried.

Also, Cerberumon had 0 vitals.

[trim pivot]

That's interesting then, and yes I have definitely noticed your technical prowess, no offense intended Lol. It'll be interesting too see what's behind this case

[fiery vale]

No offense taken.

May I send you a dm?

[trim pivot]

Oh definitely! And I forgot to add, and apologies if taken so**

[brazen tulip]

on digimon link do you need to wear the bracelet to keep your mons alive? or is it just from battles/not healing

playing legacy 1.5 btw

[bronze gyro]

Now that Im awake and up, would this have even been a problem? Im unsure if factory reset plays nice with this mod.

For me Ill transfer my mons to the app as suggested.

[trim pivot]

Nope, I saw your question in modding and you won't have to use any HRM tricks for this mod.

The Vitals and mood drain has been shut off so you can freely leave your Digimon awake without worry of it losing anything.

The Digimon has a step requirement where if you don't meet it every two hours the Digimon's pulse / happiness goes down. If it goes down too low it can get injured.

You can either exercise, feed or meet the step requirements to keep your Digimon fit and happy!

[trim pivot]

Factors resetting with the mod installed will just take you back to the date input screen.

There's nothing that can be done to really ruin or break the mod or device.

[bronze gyro]

Oh, ok, that might just be a faster way for me then. The app has been finicky at best for me and I have no stats built so far

[brazen tulip]

oh awesome, that's great to hear!

i'm playing on legacy so i'm not sure there's a feed option (?)

would sleep turn off the step requirements? i usually take rest days in between exercise days so i can't tend to them 24/7. i mean i could shake the device but it feels cheaty haha

[trim pivot]

Oh, I didn't notice you said Legacy. OK that's a different story.

As mentioned you can leave it awake without loss of mood and vitals

Beyond that it plays very similar play style as the VH. There's a mood meter which measures the stock games mood and it fluctuates based on winning and losing battles and subtle HRM readings which will be minimal.

With legacy you can exercise with it, set it down for the whole day and come back with no loss. So it will work great with the way you'd like to play

[brazen tulip]

perfect! thank you so much again 🙏 i did read the manual but it's nice to have things clarified. i appreciate you maintaining legacy for people like me who suck at remembering to check on stuff

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @trim pivot (current: #29 - 71)

[dim magnet]

Who says I didn't call the evo function? It calls the same function for replacing stats with the new mon after you accept it from the evo prompt.

[turbid notch]

Again the guy with special Anubisnon:

IF i send my Anubismon to the app, and the send it to another watch woth the Digivice mod, if it revert to the child stage, could I rase him again and keep the power trophies he already has??

[dim magnet]

Sure

[turbid notch]

Awesome!!

So i could fix that oddity it has then! 😄

[bronze gyro]

My watch when trying to do an odyssey flashed to the digimon link screen that appeared on initial setup and made me reset the date. After doing so it is asking for me to re-insert the DIM which I cant do rn cos im out.

Ill do it when home but Im assuming thats abnormal?

[dim magnet]

That's also interesting. Exact sequence of events?

[fiery vale]

Sorry, I should have said "complete evo function", since it's missing the evolution animation.
I wonder if calling only the replacing stats may lead to some unexpected behaviour somewhere.

[bronze gyro]

My witchmon had requested an odyssey (treasure map). I went to the odyssey page and while hovering over it I hit A then the digimon link screen appeared

[dim magnet]

The animation is an animation. All the actual logic in updating the character data is done in one place, because spreading it across an animation would be hard to track and doesn't make sense.

[dim magnet]

Sounds very unusual. Have you tried just power cycling?

I haven't heard things going wrong in such a way that it corrupted the save data

Were you on Dim select when it crashed or on some different screen?

[fiery vale]

BTW, aren't we worried by this?
Wasn't it possible to insert a cap to avoid it?

[dim magnet]

No? It's just the display value. It's handled when actually doing calculations during battle

[bronze gyro]

Power cycling is just turning off and on? Ive done nothing yet but if yes I can do so

[dim magnet]

Yes

[bronze gyro]

I wasnt in dim select, just on odyssey page afaik

[dim magnet]

Just sitting on the main menu?

[bronze gyro]

Under odyssey looking at the screen that said "map"

[dim magnet]

OK that's the Dim select

Did you have a mon in backup?

[bronze gyro]

Thats dim select? In odyssey? No I didnt

[dim magnet]

Did you have a second mon at any time?

[bronze gyro]

No

[dim magnet]

Yeah, weird. There's a check to make sure that you can't toggle that if there's no backup mon, so I wonder what happened

Sounds like some sort of memory corruption

[bronze gyro]

Ill revert to og firmware then update back to this firmware to clean slate it

[wraith dagger]

Okay, so i wrote the file to the dim card and when i insert it into the VH it just says failed. Whats my troubleshooting steps?

[trim pivot]

Hmm, first try restarting the VH. Then if that simple troubleshooting doesn't work,
try saving the Digimon Link Firmware back on the DIM again.

Then try another DIM if it still doesn't work

[wraith dagger]

I didn't try turning it off, I did try a different dim and it did the same thing. Ill try turning it off and on and try again when I get home from work and let you know! Thanks!

[bronze gyro]

Ok, I am home and stress testing

I just put in my DIM again and loaded up and reset to where I was (easy since I just set up my stuff yesterday)

I have leveled the same as before, from Rookie (Ghostmon) to Champion (Witchmon) and NOW when I go to odyssey and hit the top button nothing happens

[dim magnet]

That's how it's supposed to work

[bronze gyro]

well I've done my best to recreate the situation and I did NOT re-upload the firmware so I'll let it run for 24h and see it the issue repeats

[runic lily]

Finally got around to updating to 1.5 and I'm havin a great time
Just wondering but is there a shortcut function for switching to mute? Couldn't find one in the research notes and I don't think it was a function in the original
I only ask cause the buttons supposedly wear out eventually and the silence settings are quite a few button presses deep into the options

If not, that's alright, I've stocked up on vital bracelets since I found this mod in preparation of the inevitable

[dim magnet]

I think at this point the buttons have been so overloaded that it's not a good idea to add any more shortcuts

[runic lily]

Ah I see

That's a good point

[dim magnet]

I don't know what people are doing to cause the buttons to wear out so fast. Maybe pressing too hard?

Like, don't try to squeeze them into the device. Just tap. They're clicky

[runic lily]

Yeah I'm not really sure. I've had my first one for a while and thankfully it hasn't happened yet but that's what everyone seems to say

[bronze gyro]

are they straight up breaking or just getting mushy?

[dim magnet]

I think both

[runic lily]

Yeah I've heard both

[dim magnet]

Pretty sure there are a few cases of people pressing too hard and just shearing the button off

[bronze gyro]

well, I'll be careful where I can.

I probably don't want to churn through the hardware so I am planning to eventually move over to Vitalwear. I had already been looking at smart watches for Black Friday deals and having less toy-like hardware will get me fewer sideeyes at work/the gym

[trim pivot]

Button wear on all the VBs, VBDM to the BE is universal no matter how light or hard you press. At some point unless you're lucky they will fail. The more you play with it the closer to the eventually end 💀

[bronze gyro]

I'll miss the DL exclusive features if I do make the jump tho

[runic lily]

[trim pivot]

If you do a shell mod tho and replace the buttons you'll be 💯 fine button wise.

[runic lily]

I may go down that road eventually

Either way tho, thank you guys for the mod. It's made me fall back in love with the vb

[bronze gyro]

I'm just reviewing the legacy vs default mods rn from the PDFs. The differences I'm seeing are legacy does not have:

• Poop/food/odyssey call
• Digimon getting sleepy at night
• Pendulum combat mechanics
• Digimon Rank and Travel Meat
• 2 hour step check
• No supa happy/broken-hearted emotional state

Am I missing anything/did I include anything that actually is in the legacy mode, but just isn't listed? As long as I'm still in the early days I might switch to legacy just so I don't have an trouble with missing care calls at work

[trim pivot]

That all about covers it. Just no encounters in ADV mode as well.

Digimon do get sleepy at night on Legacy but it does not have any in game penalties for not putting them to sleep.

Besides that you got it.

[bronze gyro]

Also is there a more detailed explanation of the pendulum combat? I get that I need to shake in rhythm, but the research notes mention "count number #1" and "count number #2" but I'm not actually sure what numbers I should be aiming for

[trim pivot]

They are numbers based on the activity type of your Digimon which you can find in the Digimon status section.
Lazy, Indoor, Normal, Active and Stoic

[bronze gyro]

Ok, perfect, thanks for the clarity. I do think the systems are cool and I'd probably enjoy keeping it all active, but I can't keep the sound on at work so I'd have to just force miss those calls and I'd hate to let my mon die cos of my 9-5 (and setting it to nap feels like a waste of steps)

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @trim pivot (current: #28 - 72)

[bronze gyro]

oh, ok, so each activity level has a goal count for each special attack mode

are the numbers for each type listed in the research notes or on the app or are they trial and error?

[trim pivot]

Yup, and there's two numbers one for an offensive attack pattern and the other defensive.

The numbers are kept hidden as that's a part of the fun of finding out. There's a function called Pendulum training in the train section where you can practice to find the numbers.

If you want spoilers tho, if you search this chat other members have posted the numbers. You just have to swipe over the hidden text to see it.

Also, hint, the numbers aren't over 20.

[bronze gyro]

that is helpful info cos the first time I tried to freehand it I did get to like 47 lol

I wasn't sure if it was like once I found it it'd just say on the screen "your digimon is looking aggressive" or something

[trim pivot]

Lol, ya not that high.
You'll know when you get the right number when it says either of these two things I screen after the shake sequence

Tera Shot - Offensive: Your Digimon shoots its special move a special extra time at the start of the battle and you get a small AP boost for the battle.

Mega Hit - Defense: Your Digimons HP and DP will go up giving it more durability and make it harder to hit.

[round idol]

Actually, the plural of Digimon is Digimones.

[cyan nimbus]

The #'s for Lazy types gave me a good chuckle

[bronze gyro]

I am pretty confident I know it for lazy characters cos I did a fight with my lazy champion and was shocked I got one of them on my first try

Also, one I missed, does legacy Digimon Link permanently raise stats or is that only in mainline?

[trim pivot]

Stats are permanent in both Legacy and Pendulum.

In Legacy Power Trophies are tied into Evo Trophies and it's every 3 Trophies in general that gives you a stats boost.

In Pendulum Power Trophies and Evo Trophies are separated and it's every 10 Power Trophies that give you a stat boost.

[cosmic notch]

Currently have pendulum 1.1 installed, wanted to install 1.5 but didn't know if I should restore my backup first, and if it would be okay to overwrite the 1.1 backup dim after I restore it, so i can put the 1.5 file on the dim?

[dim magnet]

You must restore first

You can overwrite after the restore, but you have to ensure that you actually did restore

[bronze gyro]

Also, does sleep put my mon to sleep for only 5 hours? my digimon is sleepy so I tried to put them to sleep but "Nap" appeared on screen as if I was just putting them down for a short rest

or will sleep always last until I wake them up, but "Nap" is just the text that appears for it?

[dim magnet]

Depends. On real monster if it's not night time by the time the nap timer is over, then it'll wake up

[bronze gyro]

I'm on digivice mode rn

[trim pivot]

On that version nap last until you manually wake them up

Same with Digital Monster. Legacy and Pendulum *

[bronze gyro]

perfect, ty

Did stats raise on the original vital hero with trophies? I wasn't sure if they had any effect beyond digivolution requirements before the mod.

I get that the mod exists in part to close some design gaps in the original VH, but I guess without trophies boosting stats, beating adventure level 15 sounds like a headache in vanilla.

[dim magnet]

Maybe just try out vanilla for a week to get an idea of what's base

If you don't want to do that, then it shouldn't matter that much what's original and what's not

[bronze gyro]

Im just curious

[dim magnet]

The adventure mode in the mod isn't really the same as vanilla

You can't directly compare them due to the stats adjustments and extra encounters

[bronze gyro]

Yeah, I remember from the research notes that odyssey changes a lot from adv. Im just trying to understand differences cos I'm still settling on what systems I enjoy engaging with best.

[dim magnet]

Play vanilla for a week

If that feels good to you, stick with the non-Pendulum version

[trim pivot]

Even though Legacy is closer to Vanilla there are a notable amount of Difference.

No stat raising on Vanilla period.
Trophies are just for evolution.

No health system in Vanilla so Digimon are way harder to kill. That may be better or worse depending on what type of challenge you enjoy.

No untethered status block so that means if you put your VH down without putting the Digimon to sleep it will lose a ton of Vitals and Mood.

You can't see Digimon's mood which is important for game play elements.

You can only train 4 times a day and can't choose which training

Animations for Digimon are wack

No instant healing of Digimon if they get injured

And there's more actually. I haven't played Legacy in awhile but the more I write the more I'm reminded that Vanilla is not a good representation of Legacy

Legacy is a noticeable boost from Vanilla and Pendulum is a quantum boost of that.

[dim magnet]

It's similar in the sense it's much less involved in terms of mechanics. About half the additions as the current version. So not a perfect representation, but it's something people can work up to, especially if they have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out what works.

[trim pivot]

Ya depending if someone wants to jump fully in or not. Since we did build on top of the VB gameplay and enhanced it instead of radically changing it, if one is fully new to the VB concepts Vanilla could be a good way to understand the foundation of the original gameplay.

Or if they jump In with the mod without knowledge they can experiment with Dlink as well. As the gameplay encourages exploration

[cyan nimbus]

The link mod makes it more like a proper vpet rather than a cute sorta fitbit

[wraith dagger]

okay , so i got the digital monster 1.5 to install, everytime i tried real digital monster 1.5 it just said failed, so im not sure

[trim pivot]

Sorry you're having difficulties with Real Digital Monster.

I just uninstalled then downloaded the packet in the Pins and re installed RDM and it went through ok.

Odd, Not sure when you downloaded the pack but maybe attempt to download the latest package in the Pins and try again. Hopefully it'll turn up different results.

[fiery vale]

What do you mean by "Animations for Digimon are wack"?
The only thing I can think of is the character not walking in Adv mode on stock firmware.

[trim pivot]

That's a good example of one wack animation. As why would you have a Digimon stand still to represent being in ADV mode? Thematically it doesn't fit.

And then there's the home screen. To help avoid people losing vitals constantly despite wearing the watch like many negativity reported in VBDM Bandai lowered the requirments for the Digimon from Digivice V to the BE to register as walking status.

So what you got was never ending walking animations on home unless you really kept the device still and registered like no steps. But by then the device would probably trigger untethered status so you get the cloud or the sad face ( BE )
So it was hard to tell what condition your Digimon was in.

Cyanic set it, starting with the VBBEMod RollUp so that the home screen would better reflect the actual status of the Digimon. Happy, upset. Walking, exercise, running.

Stock wise the sun and cloud / happy and sad face (BE) were supposed to show the mood level of your Digimon. Since the animations still change alot every 5 minute intervals, making it hard to tell what state your Digimon are in I created the Mood Meter, Now Pulse Indicator in order to better observe that status.

[fiery vale]

Ah, I see, you also meant the symbol.

[bronze gyro]

Thanks for all the information. I definitely like to just, gather all the info I can before I commit to a mode of play. I'm happy rn with regular digivice mode, but I'll sort of gauge how frequently I make care mistakes by leaving it on during the workday (and how feasible it seems to continuously level) and adjust from there. My worst case might just be that I let it sleep until I go to the gym after work.

I get your points, Cyanic, just play and experience it and then make decisions, but I'm just trying to understand the systems better so I can make the best call for me, the same reason I read through both original and legacy research notes. Knowing what differences there are can help me say "do I like this part of the experience"

[trim pivot]

Really on both Digivice Legacy and Pendulum you can exercise and leave it.

On Legacy there's no in game functions that punish you for leaving your Digimon for both DM and Digivice

And on Pendulum Digivice doesn't punish for care step care mistakes or missed feeding calls. It doesn't even give an injury if you miss cleaning up poop. So you can leave Digivice Pendulum all day as well.

Only thing you need to do on Digivice Pendulum vs Legacy is put your Digimon to sleep when it has the sleepy captions in order to restore heart pieces if you lost any

[bronze gyro]

OH, that's what is meant by "no raising penalties"

I don't get punished on pendulum digivice for missed calls

ok, then perfect, that's definitely sufficient for me and explains my gap in understanding

[dim magnet]

Have you been verifying the write after you have done it?

Also, if you're using a regular flash programmer software instead of Mr. Blinky's tool, make sure you erase the Dim before trying to write to it

[dim magnet]

I really think you should try to experience the device instead of trying to approach it like you're buying a big ticket item. You're not locked into any particular variation since you can just take your characters to the app and load them back in.

[vivid quail]

Can I suggest a new mode for the project?

[dim magnet]

Sure, but it's probably not going to get implemented. I'm starting to think there are too many variables

[bronze gyro]

I get what you're saying, but like, the no raising penalties is a good example. I had misunderstood what that had meant in the research notes, so I would have approached the device as if I had to be on top of care at all times. Not having a full scope of the rules would have had me approaching it with more stress than needed. I think if I wanted to go in true blind, I would have not read the research notes

[dim magnet]

That still doesn't have much to do with what's base and what's not

[bronze gyro]

It doesn't help either that there are so many doomer posts on this discord (not necessarily from you guys) about the life cycle of vital bracelets in general. I felt like I had to get it right cos I didn't know what length of time I had to enjoy it without an additional purchase

[dim magnet]

It's not that fragile, usually it'll last a couple of years from regular use

Just try to enjoy it and discover as you go intead of making it a research assignment

[bronze gyro]

The difference between "what's base and not" is cos playing vanilla is essentially just another way to play. Legacy, digivice, real digital monster, vanilla: I had a lot of options and I just kind of wanted to start on the one that I think fit my lifestyle best

[dim magnet]

There's way too much stuff to really keep full track of anyway

[bronze gyro]

maybe that's true

and maybe you're right

but I enjoy approaching things with a full knowledge base; I like to know what I'm signing up for generally

[trim pivot]

Ya I hope my earlier post about button wear didn't convey that the VBs break in like one month.
As mentioned above, Like down to a science outside of odd scenarios I've found that with typical use all VBs last roughly

2 to 2 1/2 years

before noticeable button wear.

This is from someone who plays the VB a lot daily. Only times I've noticed button wear creep up faster is when doing beta testing for Digimon Link where I am abnormally pressing buttons more frequently.

I was comparing the button quality to previous Legacy Bandai Digimon Vpets that last decades if not more.

Outside of buttons VB aren't that fragile.

If someone buys multiple VHs they'll be set for years without worry.

[bronze gyro]

That is a nice fact to hear. It wasn't just recent posts, but even before I started talking I was looking into it online and in the discord and there definitely is a common sentiment that these are just very fragile products.

[trim pivot]

Ya, they aren't all wrong. I don't think they are fragile per say.

However since they are worn on the wrist unlike previous Digimon LCD toys there is a lot greater risk of hitting against the wall, Accidentally putting in water ect.

I've never personally had any of those happen to me. Mine is just the universal button wear problem.

As far as water proofing too, the VH is about the same as the BE. I really don't know how much was marketing hype but I've taken VHs out into the rain / showers and haven't had any problems.

Like the BE I wouldn't dunk it in water though. No VB can take that

[vast trout]

feel the serious issues like busted buttons are a bit ymmv, some people ran into issues much sooner than others

[bronze gyro]

you wore the VH into showers without issue? that is surprising; from how people talked I thought like a light splashing would spell doom

[vast trout]

i'd probs just be worried about stuff like battery though, especially with the pendulum version (although exactly how damaging that'd be over time i have no clue on)

[bronze gyro]

battery I've accepted if I get to the end of battery that's where my buddy's conking out. I'll charge it once a day, but don't want to carry around an extra wire with me

[trim pivot]

Ya, I take it outside in drizzle, showers and rain. Not like torrential rain or anything but enough to get someone decently wet. As long as you don't like take a garden hose and spray it or put it right under a water faucet when washing your hands you'll be fine. Which those things you can't do with a BE as well.

Then again, I never tried spraying it with a water hose....a part of me is tempted for science but I also don't want to waste a VH

[dim magnet]

The BE has a gasket around the edge and no open holes for water to get in, so if you've closed the Dim slot and USB port covers properly, theoretically no water should get in if you dunk it

The VH does have holes

Probably not a big deal if you're wearing something over it most of the time, but not recommended to expose it directly to water

[trim pivot]

Ok, So if you dunk it it has a better chance than the VH theoretically.

That's interesting cause I always wondered the difference.

Makes sense why using in rain seems to hold very little difference between the two as well. As that's not really fully dunking in water

[dim magnet]

I think people have complained about failure due to sweat, which is understandable because of the speaker holes that allow moisture to get in from your skin

[trim pivot]

That may be on a case to case base as well because I sweat a fair deal, when exercising, and my VH never had any problems with that either

[bronze gyro]

yeah, sweating was a big complaint, but I also heard of people sweating through proper fitbits, so I'm guessing people are just out here sweating more than I realize

[trim pivot]

It's a struggle believe me. Be thankful of that weight you don't have to bear.

I wish I knew what it was like to exercise without waterfalls. Thank goodness it's only in really hot weather tho

[remote mauve]

Lol. Climate plays a huge part in how much you sweat. I recently moved to SE Asia, and here it's crazy hot and humid. Even a few minutes outside with no wind/airflow, you'll be sweating quite a bit.

[bronze gyro]

lol, I'm in Southern Canada. It can get as hot as mid-30s celsius in peak summer, but today's 8C and it won't get above this again until May so sweating through Dlink isn't a worry

[wraith dagger]

I just accepted took it as a sign the real would be too hard for me. Lmao
Another question, I changed the time when I woke up but my digimon still has the sleep bubbles, how do I wake em up?

[trim pivot]

Lol, Maybe when you're ready the gate to RDM will unveil itself and you'll be sucked into the Digital World For Real

xP

To wake/put to sleep hold A+B on home page.

[turbid notch]

Yay, I fix Anubismon!

He lose all his over 100 battle counts, but the pwr trophies still there.

[wraith dagger]

For real! I have to prove myself! XD Awesome thx!

[cyan nimbus]

Quick question

What the functional difference between feeding meat and praising?

[dim magnet]

One of them answers the hunger call

[trim pivot]

Yup and meat doesn't raise vitals or risk giving you cocky status

[trim pivot]

That sounds like a fun move! I've always loved seeing the SE Asian V-pet tournaments

[cyan nimbus]

Gotcha

[bronze gyro]

I've realized an error in the custom DIM I made, I set one of the digivolution's vital targets higher than what a digimon can reach at its current level. I'm planning on doing these steps to fix it, but figured I should check first that that is not considered a "major change" that would create an issue.

If it was it wouldn't be a 911, I'd just commit to not making any changes and accepting that that digivolution line isn't possible

Also, oh my gosh, I just clued in how much those power trophies are raising my stats. I got 30 power trophies and my stats are pretty much doubled at Champion level!

[trim pivot]

I would go on and change it. DLink was designed with the standard DIMS in mind for compatability so anything outside of the norm may cause off issues. Nothing that would break the game but still, the most oddities from modded DIMs seem to happen from Digivice too

[bronze gyro]

I didn't do anything too crazy, just swapping sprites and redesigning the evolution trees. In the back of my head I was like "I COULD skip straight from baby to in-training to get an extra digimon" but I decided against it just to avoid any compatibility issues.

But I'll go ahead and fix that one issue and it should be good then. I had just let one of my champions warp up to mega if he hit really high requirements, but those requirements were just a bit out of reach unfort

[trim pivot]

Lol, I see. Warp evoking from champion to mega does sound fun though. Might not be best to set the Vitals higher than the stage can go but you can set the evo Trophies to a wild amount, basically as high as you want

Too the limit of 999*

[bronze gyro]

yep, it'll be an easy fix and then it'll fit more the design I'm going for. I'm hoping this is the last of the kinks to work out cos I'm probably going to stick with this team until I get through the odyssey content and seeing how much the power trophies buff my stats I'm not gonna be surprised if there's some boosted fights lurking in there

[vivid quail]

Adventure, Rush mode into a pre-existing update

Like a mini Boss rush

I’m just asking is it possible?

[dim magnet]

Not sure what that entails. Like the quests on bricks?

[vivid quail]

Yes

I think you’re talking about it and the digital monster X

It also had items you can get each area completed

Or the version 20, we had battles

[dim magnet]

No items, don't have the space for that

[vivid quail]

Wait, I forgot to ask how much space is still left

[dim magnet]

I haven't really checked, but at this point probably no more graphics

[vivid quail]

I haven’t checked the latest update in a while. I’ve been mostly backing up everything to CD.

And yes, I still use CDs or data storage. I can’t afford any hard drives or flash devices currently.

[dim magnet]

RAM situation is iffy. My main concern is deep call depth starting to run the stack into the static variables. There's only about 250 words for the stack, and things that do a lot of processing may get dangerously close to using that up and ramming into the static variables

[trim pivot]

Yes and final additions to Digimon Link have to be approved by me as I am the original creator and commissioner and some things may or may not fit into the vision I have for the project.

That is a very good idea though. Ironically one I was toying with as well. As Cyanic has mentioned though space is a huge consideration for everything we do.

[deft hollow]

Hey y'all, I had a question about best version for my use-case: so I'm currently healing from an injury, and not super physically active (not much walking happening over here rn), but I use my VH as-is to incentivize me to complete tasks on my to-do list (since shaking the device is all you have to do to complete trophy missions), and I saw the new update of the digimon link have daily walking requirements, so should I use the legacy versions? Which version set is best for my use-case?

[trim pivot]

The awesome thing is that the step requirements allow Digimon Link Pendulum to be played as a traditional Vpet if you don't want to or are not able to exercise.

So like in your case, if you don't meet the step requirments by walking and your Digimon's mood goes down you can feed it food or do Pendulum Training to raise the mood before it gets to low and potentially suffers and injury

Pendulum training is shaking the device*

If you don't want that much interaction or responsibility to remember to check on the Digimon from time to time then Legacy is just as well. You can just shake and play when you want and return whenever you'd like.

[deft hollow]

Oh perfect! Guess I'll have to give it a go, then!

[trim pivot]

The conversation about water proofing earlier inspired me to go on and do a water stress test for the VH before it gets too cold.

Test was made on my firmware locked VH

With the Device standing straight The VH was able to withstand considerable amount of water from a spray hose. Showing no sign of damage.

Meanwhile while the device had the speakers face up, there was no damage to the system however subtle loss of sound was made to the speaker which was mostly expected.

If you wear the device in wrist with the speakers down the risk of sweat damaging sound or parts is minimal to nonexistent as I've observed with my own usage that it's very hard for sweat to go upwards into the downward facing speakers.

If you wear your VB unconventionaly on the bottom of your wrist however sweat could go down into the upward facing speakers.

Besides that, VH is rain / shower proof however not able to be submerged in water fully.

[proven knoll]

Sorry I know this was days ago but If anyone is still having this issue I found that sometimes the dim cards get loose while the restore is happening, mine was having similar issues, a different dim cards that fit better in the slot had an easier time getting through the download

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

@proven knoll has evolved into Baby II!

[trim pivot]

That's interesting, it was an issue with the dims. A number of people reported that odd case awhile back and it never got resolved. Thanks for shedding some light on the issue!

[raw acorn]

Just want to say I've been really enjoying this mod! So much so that it got me working on editing some Digimon sprites for a custom DIM. I really appreciate all the work that has gone into this!

[bronze gyro]

I did this process and it wokred perfectly; however, it did erase any and all power trophies I had earned on that digimon. I am uncertain if this is known so I figured I would let you know. Was an easy journey to catch up in my case so no stress.

[stiff panther]

Can someone explain for me how the pendulum work? I’m kinda confused, I just shake to big number and miss without getting to two type of attacks.

[dim magnet]

You need to shake one of two specific numbers for your mon's personality

[stiff panther]

How do I know what are the specific numbers?

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

[languid lava]

is a port to other models still being considered? right now all i have is a Digivice V and a BE. plus i dont currently have the hardware to overwrite a Dim card, but a hypothetical BE port could use a normal Micro Sd card, right?

[dim magnet]

No ports to any other VB version is planned. Too many variations already, and I do not want to maintain an explosion of versions.

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @languid lava (current: #346 - 4)

[brazen tulip]

Not sure if this is a bug but figured I'd leave a report just in case

so from my understanding pressing B shows a preview of the upcoming evo (timer + name)

My Greymon has 2/4 requirements for Metalgreymon and 4/4 for Skullgreymon (as indicated by the yellow numbers), but the preview evo still says Metalgrey. Not sure if this is intentional or not

I'm on legacy 1.5 I think, if that helps

[fiery vale]

Check if you have an adult Digimon in backup (of a different attribute than your Greymon).
I'm guessing you're on a Dinosaur Roar Dim, so if that's the case Greymon can become the other MetalGreymon with a jogress (orange -> blue and viceversa) and both MetalGreymon have the same name iirc.

[brazen tulip]

oh WHAT i didn't know that greymon can jogress to a different metalgrey, that's wild. okay that's not a bug then, amazing programming instead, tysm 😂

i'm just gonna send one of the backup guys to the shadow realm so i can get the right metalgrey

[fiery vale]

LOL You could also let the backup evolve (by jogress, of course), if you don't mind what they'll become. Of course then you'd have to take it to ultimate (lv6) first to avoid being in the same situation again with MetalGreymon.

[brazen tulip]

the correct metalgrey shows a star in the preview now! seems right

[fiery vale]

Exactly

[brazen tulip]

my backup is a different greymon so honestly i could... i could just have the greymons just do a switcheroo

but i'd rather keep things simple for now (and motivate myself towards metalgreymon gains) so i'll box 'em haha

[fiery vale]

You couldn't do a switcheroo because by the time the first adult has become a perfect by jogress, it will not trigger jogress for the other adult. On the VB jogress doesn't consume or influence the other party.

[brazen tulip]

Ohh that's true, I forgot about that. Boxing is the right call then so I don't get two metalgreys of the same type. ty for your wisdom 🙏

woooaaah cyanic answered my noob question!!!!!!! ur so cool! Im a fan! thanks for everything ur doing ❤️

allow me to ask a dumb question, but using this firmware still only allows for 2 Digimon/characters to be housed on the device, right?

can someone please explain fights to me lol, i feel like everytime i do the mega hit i lose

[dim magnet]

It should be in the manual. If you're losing with mega hit, you would likely have lost anyway without it

[turbid notch]

Its not rocket sciense.
Your digimon is just weak. You need to train it more :p

I barely use the Mega and Tera hit.

[bronze gyro]

Yeah Ill be real, mega/tera Ive so far only used in fights it wouldnt have changed the outcome of. Ultimately statline rules the fight in my limited exp

[nimble hamlet]

ok i did not realize the distinction between the evo trophy’s and the power ones, so i had 20 as an adult and was losing to the zone 1 boss lmao

[proper fractal]

Im at work and have my guide on my PC at home. Where is the flush option?

[candid thistle]

keep the A button (top one) pressed

it will start the flushing animation

[tepid heron]

Quick couple of questions before I start the upgrade process to the Pendulum Link:
If I choose the Digivice option for Pendulum Link, how does feeding, poop, and death work? Do they not poop on the Digivice version? Can they still die?

[candid thistle]

on digivice ver you can feed them and they poop, i'm not super sure about how death works tho since i haven't had any of my digimon dying on me on it

[vast trout]

you can still cause death via too many losses while injured

[vast trout]

trying out the new update today, just got the crash to date after browsing through evos while fumbling how to instantly evolve

[vast trout]

couldn't catch this in time, but there was some slight visual errors with the evo timer from a mess of green and white pixels to perfectly legible text... that in less than a second became a bunch of blocks

mighty minor compared to the crashing at least

[frigid python]

Sharkmon soo cool

[tepid heron]

Is there any way to disable pooping on the Digivice version?

[dim magnet]

No. If you want to avoid poops, avoid feeding

Calls are not customizable, just like on any other vpet

[tepid heron]

Wait, you can ignore feeding? Are there any consequences to it?

Mostly I just want it to match the anime feel, cleaning up the poop of a Mega-level Digimon kinda kills that vibe 😅

[dim magnet]

Most of the time the penalty is you lose mood

[tepid heron]

Would there ever be the possibility of a future update adding an optional toggle to remove the necessity of poop/food to closer match the Digivice vibe? 🥺

[crude reef]

@vast trout which card is Sharkmon on?

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

@crude reef has evolved into Child!

[dim magnet]

Digivice only refers to the evolution mechanic

And that it's slightly more forgiving in some other aspects

If you really don't want to bother with periodic calls, you can use the legacy version that's included

[vivid quail]

Cool

[ocean cape]

New here, I wanted to make sure these will do the job for the programmer. Thanks in advance!

[dim magnet]

Don't buy the CH341 new

[ocean cape]

oh okay thanks, what should I be looking for then?

[dim magnet]

CH347 is the cheap replacement

[ocean cape]

Thanks I'll get that then!

[tawny bolt]

Also, those are the "long" SD card readers.

You won't be able to fit DIM cards in them

At least not without cutting of the blue bit that extends past the metal

[ocean cape]

Good catch thank you!

[dim magnet]

Yeah rule of thumb, if you see a springy piece near the opening of the slot, it's probably too long

[ocean cape]

Good to know, I appreciate the tip!

[languid lava]

oh, here i thought Long and short in the guides were refering to the length of the connector pins

[dim magnet]

It's specifically about the length of the slot itself. Dims go into a short push-pull slot, and they designed it in a way it won't go into most normal microSD slots

[languid lava]

in theory, could a VH read an SD card? or is that something only a BE can do?

[dim magnet]

It could, but it doesn't have any drivers built-in. There may be issues trying to place the memory regions needed for that (it's been a while since I looked, so maybe it'll fit, maybe it won't fit)

[vast trout]

this is a custom of mine, never got around to finishing his spritesheet though

[dim magnet]

Out of curiosity, how long do you have the evo timer set on it?

Not sure if I missed a check somewhere. The code looks very unassuming to me and I haven't figured out what could be wrong specifically with the evo timer

[crude reef]

Cool, looks awesome!

[tepid heron]

Is there a way in the DIM Modifier to set the evolution time for Baby 1 and Baby 2 stage to less than one hour? Example, 10 or 20 minutes?

Would you just set it to like, 010 instead of 1?

[fiery vale]

Nope, not for Dims.

[dim magnet]

No, Dims can only set evolution time in 1 hour units

[vast trout]

the usual values for a perfect, though i'm not sure how that might cause rendering issues when skipping to 1 minute

[burnt slate]

please help, what IC shall I choose if I'm using ch347 on asprogrammer?

[dim magnet]

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

[dim magnet]

Did you install drivers?

[burnt slate]

what driver?

lol

[dim magnet]

https://www.wch.cn/download/file?id=64

[burnt slate]

it's CH341par.exe? even if I'm using CH347? sorry noob question

[eager harbor]

@burnt slate has leveled up! (1 ➜ 2)

[dim magnet]

Yes, same driver works for both

[burnt slate]

yey! I guess it's now working?

[dim magnet]

Probably. If you're writing on to an existing Dim, just do a verify to make sure the read is good, then save the file for safekeeping

[burnt slate]

i put vs dim

thanks cyanic! ur the best!

amazing!!!! it works and it's fast! thank you guys! Happy daddy here! 🤣

[burnt slate]

1. Is it possible to put my D3-02 BEM backup to my VS DIM using asprogrammer?
   If yes,
2. Will my vital bracelet BE read, recognize it as BEM, and load it?
   If yes,
3. If I'm done with it, will I be able to erase the D3-02 BEM backup on my VS DIM and put my Imperialdramon BEM backup next?

[remote mauve]

As far as I know, it is not possible to write one BEM onto another without the OTP. You can write the BEM to the original BEM card, but I think that's it.

[red valve]

Wow where did you get that sharkmon?

[vast trout]

's a custom spritesheet, doesn't have more than basic idles and a sleep sprite though

[red valve]

Did you make it? Or could you share it?

aye and, well...

Thanks! Should be simple enough to make some new frames

Whenever I find time to do those, I'll share them again

oh heck, you're thinking of working on 'em?

i could send an aseprite/resprite file, 's a lil easier to work with with fins on separate layers

[red valve]

I work with different programs, but sure

I'll look into it

[winter lava]

Hi, im new about this training gear.
I have an old original VB (green color with pulsemon and veemon dim). Can i use the vb to install this training gear?

[olive onyx]

Hi! It won't work with the VB. This mod is only for the Vital Hero

[winter lava]

Oh no. I only have the OG VB. So sad can play the great mod.
Does the upgrade memory can be shared? 😅

[bright patrol]

Hello, new here. I was just wondering what would you need to Mod the VB Hero with this Digimon Link software?

[trim pivot]

Hey, Everything needed to install, from links to the specific parts to video tutorials on how to assemble and install everything are in the download packet's folders

" DIM Programmer purchase Guide + Tutorials "

And " DIM Modding Guide and Video Tutorial"

[bright patrol]

Thanks, this is all new to me. Where can I find the link and would I need to buy hardware? I see people talking about a CH341A mini programmer.

[trim pivot]

Links to all the parts are in the PDF, DIM Programmer Software and Purchase Guide.

The PDF will give you all of the hardware options, purchase links and also provide links for all the software needed for installation

The download packet is in the Pins of this thread

[bright patrol]

I downloaded the file and found all the guides the guides. Thank you very much.

Spent the last hour doing exercise

Finish, sit down, relax

Digimon goes into supa-happy mode

Amazing timing little buddy

[crude reef]

I seem to always get them wanting training when im on the bus first thing in the morning on the way to work. "Yeah, hold on little buddy, let me just get up and do some squats and sprints down the bus aisle while these strangers look at me!" Real inconvenient!

[runic lily]

Yeah I always seem to get the double training call right after I’m done working out

[eager harbor]

@runic lily has leveled up! (0 ➜ 1)

[dim magnet]

The calls do have a sort of a time range in which they can be triggered

[runic lily]

Then I’ll have to pay closer attention and note when they happen so I can sync it up to my work out times

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

@runic lily has evolved into Baby I!

[summer adder]

Hi, I'm Brazilian and I really want to buy Vital Hero. How does the installation of this mod work? And the DIMM cards, can I find Dorumon somewhere?

If anyone could make me a tutorial in private, I would really appreciate it.

[remote mauve]

There should be a complete tutorial included in the download packet. Have you downloaded it and looked in the files yet?

[broken mountain]

I think this is the minimum stats to pass the 15th Odyssey stage, and dont lose for health point differences

[cyan nimbus]

My poor Digimon kept losing due to the bosses having more HP than displayed lol

[fluid owl]

Odyssey pulls from the entire roster right? So if you have Digimon in the NFC table that are unreliable, Odyssey will use those plus what you can raise right?

[vast trout]

seems it only pulls from whichever dim's adventure is active

although unlike past updates, it seems encounters don't focus on only your active dim any more

[fluid owl]

I was thinking of doing like a true digivice exp with your partner digimon vs NPCs on a quest

[vast trout]

i've no clue if unraiseable mons are even acknowledged, but i don't see why they wouldn't be called if they're of the right stage/attribute

[cyan nimbus]

It'd be cool if there was a mixed odyssey mode

Where it pulls encounters from both mons

Assuming you had two different dims loaded

[magic dagger]

any recommendations on whether to load the REAL Digital Monster or Digital Monster firmware?

i don't quite get the difference in the pdf

[dim magnet]

Real Digital Monster is more challenging, among a few other things like chance of death as it gets old

[magic dagger]

do my digimon still need/want to sleep in just Digital Monster?

also can I switch which firmware I want later?

[dim magnet]

Real Monster has automatic sleep (that you can optional wake them from), other versions will indicate they want to sleep but won't do so automatically

You can switch firmware anytime, just move the mon to the app first if you want to keep it

[magic dagger]

oh, ok, that's actually awesome

would it be smart to have a separate DIM for each firmware?

or does it not really matter

also will they indicate sleep if they're cocky

[dim magnet]

Recommend that you keep one Dim for the backup and don't overwrite it, other than that doesn't matter

[magic dagger]

because my koromon is being cocky and idk how to fix it

[magic dagger]

oh, that's fair

I'll just swap when I get more dims, because the other modes sound interesting

[magic dagger]

also, how do I TRIGGER sleep?

[dim magnet]

As usual

[magic dagger]

...As usual, as in...? I put it on my Vital Hero upon getting it, I've only had a VH for a couple hours max 😔

[turbid notch]

Question! Is it possible to reduce the "shake" time and the "limit shake"? I feel like it last too much for the few shake it use the digimon. Also the time is too long unless i keep pressing the btton.

[minor pelican]

For real lmao, it makes me pause while i'm on a walk it's pretty counterintuitive

[proper fractal]

If its pausing it means you fail the event you were doing,(for mine it keeps cycling over and over) go to Training, Reps, Running and make sure you hold the buttons to change the Icon to weights this will make your Digimon stronger for later when AFK-ing any events. It should only stop when you stop E.I. No movement, stand still to talk, admiring the scenery...I top out at ~36 count and still pass almost any event battle.

[vast trout]

...is this still about the pendulum feature or training now

but yeah, would be nice if it was like vitalwear in just, continuing regardless of failures

[proper fractal]

it what I do to bypass the part they are complaining about...I like the feature. It just you can still win all your battles without it...(I don't just it at work because I traing up my digimon to not need it.) but when I do use it "OMG THe MON just got one Shot!"

[vast trout]

it uh, ain't the most cinematic thing seeing 100+ trophies = one shot near everything

do appreciate the inflated hp in odysseys for alleviating that, but then by proxy even vs dim battles must be mighty lame to look at too

[proper fractal]

but then how complain about 36seconds of doing nothing it to much...?

[vast trout]

I can't parse that sentence

[proper fractal]

the pendulum Court feature only last ~36Counts for me. How is that too long in comparison to a full battle battle which is slightly longer?

[vast trout]

guess thinking about it, i've never paid attention to how long it expects you to do something before continuing on

at the very least the penz/20 has more sane (albeit much tighter) timers

[proper fractal]

I was just showing with this you don't even really have to worry about the feature when walking/jogging and it will still pass your requirements. E.I. today for me a need battles and trophies for my next evolutions.

[trim pivot]

Trophy Power counts in VS DIM battles for both players. It's been like that since Pendulum 1.0.

If hypothetically your friend 1 hit KOs your Digimon from having way more Trophies than you. Train and gain more power Trophies so your Digimon can compete. With the limit of power Trophies being over 10k you can always have a back and forth rivalry with your friends

[vast trout]

I'm aware, just reckon it'd be more interesting to look at a back-and-forth battle instead of a one-and-done?

Still, would like to fight others with trophy power in action

[trim pivot]

Not sure what you mean by one and done? If player's power Trophies are similar in value then there will be more 1 hit KOs.

[vast trout]

meant those one hit ko's, yeah

[trim pivot]

There will not be 1 hit Kos**

It'll be like Odyssey mode where battles are even. Only way you'll get 1 hit Kos is if one player has way, way more power Trophies than another.

[vast trout]

ah heck, really?

[trim pivot]

Yup

[vast trout]

that's killer then

[cyan nimbus]

I thought about that too

But then the stage 13-15 bosses started crushing me even with my modest trophy count

So I began treating it like leveling up in a rpg

Plus I exercise every morning so I have to pick between grinding or progressing the odyssey

[cyan nimbus]

I messed up my training and had to scold my Digimon so much that it received an injury

I'm so sorry lol

[proper fractal]

I love that shell, if you won't mind DM me a link I would greatly appreciate it.

[broken mountain]

I think that's the trophy limit
i don't know why show the stats like this

[deft hollow]

Question: how do we switch training to be for the power trophies instead of evo trophies?

[magic dagger]

press a and b

both the buttons on the side of the watch lol

[dim magnet]

Regular trophies don't contribute to stats

[broken mountain]

Sorry

I know, but the power trophy límit is 1323 🤣

[dim magnet]

Shouldn't be

Unless it's rolling over for some reason

[broken mountain]

It won't go up anymore no matter how much I train, only shows 1323
and the stats are displayed like this.

[deft hollow]

No, I know, but on which menu screen do I press them together? I tried pressing + long pressing a, b, and a+b, on the train screen, reps screen, and individual activity screen, and it still says evo... which makes me think I'm on the wrong screen

[magic dagger]

press a and b at the same time on the individual activity screen, where you'd select boxing, running, crunches, or squats

I just checked on my own VH, so if it doesnt work, I'd see if like, one of the buttons are starting to break or something

[deft hollow]

Nah, as soon as I was about to take a video to show it not working... it works like a charm.
I figured worst case I'd look like a dumbass but it'd still work in the end 🤣
Thanks for your help!

[magic dagger]

of course, it wasn't an issue

I'm just glad it started working lol

[burnt slate]

quick question, on Digimon Link Pendulum, can it load and play BEM Cards?

[turbid notch]

The hell are you talking about kid? We are talking about the battle system.

A regular PENDULUM takes less than 10 seconds.
Of course im not asking for a perfect exsact copy of the pendulum, but shorten the time and the shakes limit would help even with the battery life spam.

Over half a minuto seems too much for that obligatory gimmick.

[serene night]

Omg can you please share your leviamon sprite sheet too? I really like it!

[dim magnet]

No

[vast trout]

allez-oop

[serene night]

Tysm!!!

[minor pelican]

Nah what i meant is that i have to pause to do the shake ans since i don't need much there is a long time of doing nothing so that my movement doesn't get registered as a shake

[turbid notch]

Exsactly!

[dim magnet]

You don't have to wait out the full period

[turbid notch]

I have to push a button to do it.
But when you are doing the Odissey and go for a walk, you have to press te button every battle it happens, or you will miss several minutes of steps and battle stuff.

Do i explain myself? I feel like i didnt correctly :x

[dim magnet]

I don't see how that's different even if the time is shorter on random encounters

[proper fractal]

What Im saying as simply put as possible "Get Good!" Your digimon is weak if your worrying about the fact of a few steps.

[turbid notch]

dude....what the hell are you talking about or what do you think we are talking about??

My digimon have over 900 trophies, is not about win/lose battle.

Re-read what we are saying, please.

[proper fractal]

And your complaining about what exactly...?

[turbid notch]

and ...who are you that need ME to explain to you something that you can't do anything about it? and also dont like you?

[proper fractal]

Well to make it very clear, YOU where the one who Tagged ME to Validate a message that was Tagged to someone else...P.S. I don't NEED you to like me. I have my own life for that...

[cyan nimbus]

I don't think this argument needs to continue here

[turbid notch]

I block him, i wont encourage his behavior.

[trim pivot]

I appreciate the two comments above that helped calm things down, and I agree with their outlook to keep things peaceful on this thread. Before your comment just now, which implies you had nothing to do with the exchange, being fully innocent. I was going to let this rest. However, I won’t let someone take full blame when they don’t deserve it.

Both of you got heated, yes, but it’s important to acknowledge that despite him initially misunderstanding the topic, his comments were originally polite and intended to be helpful.

However. Your whole reply, starting with

"What the hell are you talking about, kid?"

Was emotionally loaded and triggering and started the avalanche. This is exactly why I emphasized weeks ago that everyone should keep discussions respectful. Whether it's when people are asking questions, voicing options / request or ect.

Being kind and mindful of others is often mistaken for weakness, but there’s an art to speaking with politeness and one of its rewards is preventing escalations like the one today.

With that said, based on feedback, the Pendulum shake period has been shortened and will be released with the next bug-fix update coming soon.

[brazen tulip]

On Legacy, I uhhh took a short break for a couple days and my wargreymon died lol 💀

I thought the watch didn't check for heart rate... or do I need to shake it every now and then. doesn't it auto wake digimon up (?)

[dim magnet]

The 24-hour check still applies

Though that's still just shake it a couple of times to reset

[brazen tulip]

dang, is it possible to sleep them for longer periods of time

[dim magnet]

You can sleep them for as long as you want

[brazen tulip]

Oh I was reading backlog and thought they auto woke up... maybe that's on the other version

[dim magnet]

That's the current Real Monster

[brazen tulip]

ooh gotcha. good to know for next time then, thanks! it's ok I'm in no rush to 100% the game

[lost steeple]

Why! I tryed old and new versions

[dim magnet]

It's not a Vital Hero

[lost steeple]

really? fuck

Reading memory...

[ivory flare]

Hi again, please help, in changing a DIM into a BEM, is there a way I can restore DIMcard and select the bin file for the BEM that matches the OTP file I applied previously using AsProgrammer? Because I only have CH347, which I think won't work on MrBlinkys DIMTool, is that right?

[eager harbor]

@ivory flare has leveled up! (0 ➜ 1)

[unreal sequoia]

heyyo yall remember my installation issues? well I finally got around to trying again and it's working!!!! anyone want to guess what the problem was?

||I had to plug the programmer into the computer without the dim card in it. and THEN put the dim card in. if I have the whole thing assembled when I plug it into my computer it doesn't work||

[woven stirrup]

Holy fuck you do some great sprites, this feels official like it came from the better portions of the VB. You planning on doing any other Digimon? Would love to see a resprite of Shoutmons portion of the Pulse BE BEM

[vast trout]

Cheers dude, don't really have anyone set for a resprite besides Shell, Wendigo, Rare and Gargo (who've all been idling for a few months already at that)

Probs won't touch the omni-looking shouts, but I'd be fine with doing the others

do have quite a bunch of sprites on the back-burner, gotta finish up something for december first and foremost

[woven stirrup]

OH you mean as in DX and X7? Thats what I was hoping for 😭 but I also like...totally get it

[fluid owl]

So does it actually matter which training we do? The jogging is the easiest for me since I average about 15000 steps at work daily

[fiery vale]

Not sure if I understood correctly, but I suggest to bring the discussion in #modding_vpets , a suitable place where I or someone else may be of help.

[candid thistle]

Not sure if someone already mentioned this but question: on the Digivice version is it normal that the VH sometimes turns off and back on instead of lowering the evolution countdown?

I've had multiple cases where I tried to lower the countdown but instead the device just reset itself

[vast trout]

Like a crash to the clock screen?

Yeah, something about accessing evos seems to trigger that sometimes

[candid thistle]

Shuts off and then back on again immediately and it asks me to set the date and hour again

[vast trout]

Haven't had it happen related to skipping the timer specifically though

[candid thistle]

For me it's only when I try skipping the timer

Everything else works with no issues

I can still skip the timer after one or two tries but it sounded weird enough to mention

[dim magnet]

I don't think it was ever announced here, but there's an update that attempts to resolve that issue, so you should download the latest version again and reinstall

[candid thistle]

Perfect, thank you

[nimble willow]

Ready for modding again

[rapid blade]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do I quit the training mode/is there an end?

‘Cause when I did say the sprint training it would just not stop and I wound up shutting off the device to quit.

[dim magnet]

Hold the bottom button just like with menus

[rapid blade]

Got it, thanks

[magic dagger]

where is that at? I've been having the same issue

also, sometimes, whenever I skip the evo timer, the timer sprites will glitch out, scrambled numbers and green pixels

[unreal sequoia]

checked the pinned message

[magic dagger]

is there more than one 1.5.zip? I use 1.5 already...

[dim magnet]

The message was only edited. That's the new package

[magic dagger]

oh, alright

[midnight spoke]

I love these updates! Having a fun way to keep yourself motivated to move and the ability to modify with cool programs. im glad i found this project, i cant wait to see what happends next with it.

[tawdry plinth]

I just realized I had installed 1.0 instead of 1.5 haha, thankfully I’ve still got my restore but phewww

Lowkey have the IQ of a troglodyte, I love this project so much though. Unironically a complete overhaul of the original VH

[fast raptor]

Ive been enjoying the VH stock (without the app too) so I cant wait until I can try to install this tonight!

[bleak wolf]

Hello everyone, could you please send me the link to the mod for the Virtual Hero version (not the BE version)? Thanks in advance.

[dim magnet]

Check pins

[bleak wolf]

Excuse me, how do I do it?

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

@bleak wolf has evolved into Baby I!

[dim magnet]

Mobile or desktop?

If desktop, it's near the top right of the screen

[bleak wolf]

Mobile

[dim magnet]

You'll want to do all this on desktop, since the download package is huge

[deft hollow]

Can you access the "heart rate" value anywhere from the link pendulum's menus?

[dim magnet]

No

[deft hollow]

Okay, so the main reason to keep the heart monitor un-blocked is for that possible trophy boost while training?

[dim magnet]

Yes

It also controls exercise level

[deft hollow]

What's exercise level?

[dim magnet]

Depending on the level you see different animations. It also gives you different amount of VP depending on your Mon's personality

[fast raptor]

Much better!

[calm locust]

Does this work with the VBBE as well or only with the VH?

[dim magnet]

Vital Hero only

[calm locust]

@dim magnet considering you made the mod roll-up for VBBE you might be the right person to ask.
I have found a VH and VBBE at a similar price. Considering the Training Gear mod would you recommend buying the VH over the VBBE for gameplay purposes?

[dim magnet]

Depends on if you like vpet features

The VH can't use BEMs

[calm locust]

As long as it doesn't force me to feed it every few minutes/hours then I'm fine with it.

I mainly want the devices for being able to train and level up mons, while still maintaining my work, social life, and other hobbies. I do enjoy more difficult battle/training games though

[dim magnet]

You can look through the manual in the download package and see if the versions included are suitable

[calm locust]

I'm currently on my phone so I can't access the download package.

As I understand it this mod adds the care functionalities as well as the Pendulum battle mechanics (outside of the VBBE roll up), right?

[dim magnet]

Something like that. Recommend you look at the download package when you're at a computer, since none of the mods can be applied without a computer anyway

[sly glade]

Hello! I’m sorry I’m sure you’ve been asked before but what sprite editor are you using? Thank you!

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @vast trout (current: #100 - 19)

[drowsy veldt]

Just sounding off how much I like this. Its slightly inconvenient to add sleep in since I'm an overnight worker, buuut the 12 hour clock setting means I can just set my time ahead by 12 hours and that's close enough to still work as a watch

[vast trout]

Yo, I use Aseprite to edit and, well, mostly just make sprites, although I'm not entirely sure if that's what you meant given the context of that screenshot

The tool I'm using to replace that Dim's sprites and such is DIM Modifier, specifically Aderek's one with better UI and last folder memorisation

[ashen holly]

I see that the mod only works on the US Hero Vital version. Is there a specific reason for that? Is the BE version the better one?

How about support for BE Dim Cards? Will they work with the mod on the Hero Vital version?

Thanks for help.

[dim magnet]

No

There's only one firmware supported because the changes are extensive and some parts rely on functionality that is only available in specific firmware versions. Plus it's already running out of space for VH, BE has even less space

[ashen holly]

So the Hero version is the better watch. It’s a pity that the BE Dim Cards don’t work with it… there were some very nice versions released for BE. Is anything planned for the future to make them compatible?

[dim magnet]

Not specifically planned

[ashen holly]

okay thanks for infos :))

[pastel coral]

Been wondering if I can just custom the BE cards I want into an empty dim for use in the vh with this mod, but haven't had the chance to order the programmer stick and some cards to test for myself yet

[olive onyx]

That's kinda what I did. I edited my jellymon dim to have amphimon and changed the background

[pastel coral]

Looking good, can't wait to start tinkering myself

[hasty current]

Gonna see if I can grind all the way to the end of Mad Roar during black friday

[misty kelp]

Hey guys! I have a new Vital Hero coming in tomorrow because my OG Japanese model I got at release finally died 😭 Question: Will custom dims work with the Link mod?

[atomic ledge]

I set my modded VH up today, it had Volcanic Beat and a custom on there. It loaded the custom dim, but im doing the Vorvomon line first, so im not sure if they work beyond just the load working ^^

[misty kelp]

Ok! thank you! I’m going to try with a regular dim first and then maybe try custom after I get used to the mod 🙂

[atomic ledge]

That's exactly what I'm doing ^^ What dim were you thinking?

[misty kelp]

I’m not sure which I want to run first! I’ve done every dim at some point! But as far as custom I cannot wait to try Toy Kingdom!

[atomic ledge]

Either way, best of luck! ^^

[ocean cape]

I recently had the pendulum firmware on here but wanted to try the legacy. So I switched to it. But I apparently neglected to save the file back made for the legacy firmware. I have tried the pendulum firmware backup just in case but no luck. Is it now permanently stuck? Is there anything I can do? I wanted to go back to the pendulum firmware but I think I messed up. Any advice would be great thank you

[misty kelp]

Should I use pendulum or legacy?

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

@misty kelp has evolved into Baby I!

[dim magnet]

Depends on what gameplay you want. Look at the manual in the download package

[misty kelp]

I found the manual. 🙂

i’m trying pendulum first

[misty kelp]

can Digimon die in pendulum?

[eager harbor]

@misty kelp has leveled up! (1 ➜ 2)

[dim magnet]

Digimon can die in any version

[misty kelp]

Okay. I didn’t know if that was kept or taken out in any mod.

Pendulum seems to be very interactive. I like this a lot! Very cool and like a traditional V-Pet. I’m guessing Legacy is more laid back and more like an updated VH rather than a big overhaul?

[misty kelp]

How do I take care of poop in Pendulum?

nvm got it

[deft hollow]

Even if the software isn't pendulum, is there any way of overwriting the software on the vital hero batman?

[dim magnet]

This mod doesn't support it

[fiery vale]

Yes, as they would on an unmodded bracelet.

[tribal wadi]

@dim magnet Are the raising areas from the Link Legacy removed in the Pendulum version? Or am I missing something?

[dusk granite]

the digimon link can receive the perks from the vb helper?

[dim magnet]

Most wallpapers have been removed to leave space for other things

[dim magnet]

Special missions will still work, you just can't access the interface to see progress. Other than that there's no difference compared to an unmodified VH

[dusk granite]

Thanks cyanic.
And i was thinking about selling my VH....

[tribal wadi]

If you still have the original PNG, would you mind to share those background?
If someone want (like me in this case) it should be possible to use them as custom DIM background right?

[potent hornet]

@dim magnet @trim pivot Firstly I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for putting together the Pendulum Link 1.5 version. This firmware has made the vital hero stand in the upper echelons of vpets and is a testament of your talent and passion. If this is as far as the project goes, I am eternally grateful for reviving the child in me the past few days. You guys have inspired me to think on possible ideas that could be added if you ever take this project further. I thought it would be fun to present them in a style you guys are familiar with. No pressure or obligation to do anything with these, but I hoped I could inspire you as you did me.

[indigo crypt]

Can't wait til payday so I can build one of those dim modders to put this on my vital heros . Finally a reason to use them.

[dusk granite]

Itens and gifts would be great

is there any dim card (digimon/kamen rider/ DC universe) who can battle at phase 2/Baby 2?

[dim magnet]

Theoretically that's an option with BEMs (although it'll probably have to be phase 3 in data). Dims do not support battles with phase 1 and 2, and the firmware is somewhat hardcoded to expect babies in the first two slots.

[dusk granite]

Well, i gotta give up on this part of my plan

Trying to reproduce the penX, but babies 2 not being able to fight gonna slightly halt the process

[fast raptor]

How do we jogress?

[dusk granite]

Have the 2 mons for jogress on your VB, one on fridge

For 1h

[fast raptor]

AH! I see... Now find the right dim 😂

[bronze gyro]

Finished (odyssey 15) my second DIM and probably transitioning off of using this project and on to vitalwear. This project is great and has a lot of features I'll miss, but I'd like the watch I wear to work each day to have a bit more functionality than the vital bracelet.

Good shit on this project still, it exceeded a lot of my expectations in the end

[gusty sluice]

I'm considering getting a vital hero and installing this on it. I don't know a ton about the vital series, but I'd like to avoid having to buy DIm cards for digimon variety. Would i be able to just write and rewrite over the included DIM card to get other digimon and stuff? Also, would this be fine to take off the bracelet and just use as a more traditional form factor?

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

@gusty sluice has evolved into Baby II!

[wise patio]

I have a question. I work overnight shifts, is there a way to get this mod to have the Digimon awake at night, or is it similar to VPets where I just need to do a 12hr offset or something.

The Real Monster version will auto sleep, but the other versions will not

But i guess its a issue for you since you need to keep track of the time

What i would do: at midnight, change the clock for midday

You can still keep track of the time, your mon will be awake

Win-win

I offset mine by 12 hours and it just about works for me, as a night shifter

[dim magnet]

For the regular version, it was designed with night shift use also in mind

[honest jackal]

Woah I just found this after picking my BE back up... This looks sick as heck. Does this mod work with it?

[dim magnet]

No

[honest jackal]

I think I got my Vital Hero somewhere... Might try this then.

[fiery vale]

1. Yes (but be careful to keep the one you used to install the mod!) and 2) it depends on some details, but in general you should be able to.

[gusty sluice]

Awesome man thank you

[drifting crescent]

Hello... a question...:
After downloading the mod in VB, is it possible to revert it to normal?

[dim magnet]

Yes. Just make sure you have the Dim you originally installed the mod with

[drifting crescent]

But then... can I restore it to normal using the options? Or do I have to insert the DIM with a mod?

[dim magnet]

You need to insert the Dim that you originally used to install, and there will be a restore option instead of install

[drifting crescent]

Ok, thanks 😄

[stone mountain]

@dim magnet went to restore myself today and the back up dim wont work. just reads fail. i do have a pc back up as well made. should i try restoring the backup to the backup dim, really want to swap to real ver

[drifting crescent]

dont scare me bro, is serious?

[stone mountain]

yeah haha

never had this issue before so not sure what to do, ill wait though im in no rush

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

@stone mountain has evolved into Baby I!

[stone mountain]

ive done this around 20 odd times no issue, its probably user error on my end is all dont stress

[drifting crescent]

ok

[dim magnet]

Try to hold the card stable. Sometimes it's just bad contact

[stone mountain]

gave it a whirl, still no luck and even with a restored backup. maybe my backup was corrupted

guess ill chuck this in a digivice shell and crack open one of my other VBs haha

[stray torrent]

Same happened to me on one of mine
Backup was on the card but it kept registering as fail even though it was the correct one so i had to give up on it

[stone mountain]

Yeah it's not a big deal I got a few vb in box still ill crack one open

[tepid heron]

Does anyone know if there's a comprehensive set of Vital Bracelet sprite sheets for the Monster Hunter sprites?

[dusk granite]

Someone must have asked this before but here goes nothin:
Theres any chance for these mods come for vbbe?

[dim magnet]

No, not enough space

[dusk granite]

Thanks!

[drifting crescent]

Hello. I try battle with VB mod Link Pendulum, but the sprite of Ravemon is glitched :"v
Someone knows a solution for this? Maybe in the program Modifier VB?

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

@drifting crescent has evolved into Baby II!

[dim magnet]

There should be something in the pins about that. Note that the mod will handle VS Dim writing correctly. It won't be able to do anything about VS Dims that were written by non-modded devices.

[drifting crescent]

well if the answer is in a pin, its time to search that B)

If someone knows where are the answer, notice me please :v

[drifting crescent]

Gracias :"v

[hot terrace]

this is probably a dumb question but i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get to the praise/scold option, i only just installed the mod

[dim magnet]

Check the manual for the version that you installed

[hot terrace]

oh thats my bad i didnt realise thats what that pdf was

[iron socket]

[dim magnet]

[iron socket]

Been playing for a week, got a few questions/reports:

• Is it a feature or a bug that training never fails even when I leave the VH on the table without touching it?
• While training, sometimes (not often at all), a strange and unexpected sound happens. Does it mean anything?
• The date page is the only one where you can't exit by holding B, and it always throws me off guard cause in every other screen/page it works like that
• Is there any way to disable the evolution screens to play it "blindly" as for evo requirements, like in a true vpet?
• Are suggestions/ideas for small changes/tweaks appreciated, or is this considered a closed project forever with no further improvement?
