Training Gear: Digimon Link Pendulum 1.5 | Nurture Train Battle

[hot terrace]

What does it mean when my digimon has a weight above its head? I tried training but that didn't seem to work

[dim magnet]

1. You're probably still triggering the heart rate sensor somehow. I don't remember if that's been changed to be more sensitive or not for the case users.
2. That's just something that happens, exists in stock too
3. The date page can be seen as an extension of the home page. You just toggle with single press of the bottom button.
4. No, just don't look at them.
5. You can post stuff but there's no guarantees they'd be incorporated, especially new gameplay mechanics since there's not a lot of space left for graphics and stuff.

[dim magnet]

That one's on a timer, you get a bonus in training

[tribal wadi]

1. I have a custom shell with the metal foil inside at the moment... If I desolder/remove the heart rate sensor, will I have any problems with the game?
   2.3.4. Make sense, thanks. lol
2. Good to know 🙂 Thanks a lot. I have some idea, but I'll wait until I play a lot more before I say anything ahaha

[dusky birch]

Ah just just checking the timing was spot on haha

I was explaining this to a fella about this yesterday

thanks i think ill just try both

[exotic crypt]

Como se cuanto tengo que agitar el vital hero para que me de la lectura del péndulo eh llegado hasta 30 con kazuchimon y me sale miss siempre

[fiery vale]

Try way less. I may be mistaken, but I remember comicmunch saying it wasn't that high.
Also, if you do a search in here, there should be at least a couple of posts with the list of shake numbers.

[eager harbor]

@fiery vale has leveled up! (11 ➜ 12)

[remote mauve]

Yeah, the highest shake count is ||17||, for stoic type Digimon. 30 is way over. You're looking at a shake count between ||1 and 17||, depending on your Digimon type.

[zinc meteor]

Hi guys, im interested in playing this. Is it still active and updated? Im asking this because im buying a vital hero and just want to know in advance the current status of this project

[quartz valley]

so just understanding this properly, i already have my old backup saved on my pc and have the dim i used to update labeled to the previous version. should i still save the first backup on my pc? or should i just straight up update into it again or use a new vs dim

[quartz valley]

its just saying dim fail when i try to plug it in

ima just plug the update into it raw

[trim pivot]

This is a fully completed and fully functional project. You can enjoy the two dynamic versions Digimon Link Ver 1 and 2 that we released in the span of last Summer to Fall with out bugs or oddities.

[trim pivot]

The best and safest method is to keep the restore file on the original DIM it was saved onto and to not write over it as well as additionally save the backup to the computer.

If you write over the backup on the DIM and lose the computer backup your VH won't be able to restore.

• The backup only works with the device it was generated from. Backups aren't universal. One backup can't work for multiple devices. *

[quartz valley]

i think i have to get a new vh to update then which is fine

[quartz valley]

got it to work on my secondary

[gentle flicker]

i think im late to the party. does it work with this model?

just got my first like almost a month

[vast trout]

It's got to be a Digimon Vital Hero specifically, I'm afraid

[gentle flicker]

what is the difference? this can also run digimon dim card as well

what about BE version?
does it work with any BE model?

[vast trout]

BE being a totally bespoke version aside, the firmware between models isn't identical - only the ones for the Digimon VHs can be patched over

[gentle flicker]

i saw a this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpfUnVXyb58
this is how i found this server.

are those link the same file this person installed?
i was planning to get BE model

[vast trout]

That one in the vid isn't the same mod as this, reckon that's the mod rollup
#1101249886327935117 message

[quartz valley]

i'm pretty sure it's due to them having a different kind of coding i think for some small stuff that prevents it from working, i'm abridging part of that but

anyways the vb is like 20 on amazon at the most rn

[vernal summit]

As someone who just bought a hero on amazon, it’s like 13 bucks rn

[exotic crypt]

Quien usa de aquí la aplicación VB helper? A los que la usan no les ah pasado que cuando quieren mandar un digimon de la app al celular que el nfc no lo agarra bien? Ya descargue la versión más nueva que salió hace 12 horas y antes no tenía problemas con traspasar los digimon al reloj

[trim pivot]

Digimon Link has always been compatible with Arena and other apps, and each release is beta tested for stability.

I just tested the latest version of VB Helper to double check your situation and I had no issues transferring Digimon back and forth with Digimon Link.

This question comes up frequently, but If anyone is experiencing problems, it may be related to the phone, NFC settings, or VB Helper itself. Connection issues have never been found to originated from Digimon Link, as we have never tampered or modified with the NFC connection settings of the device. If it works with a factory VB it will work with Digimon Link

So if you have trouble with Helper you may get better support in the VB Helper thread where they focus on NFC troubleshooting

[gentle flicker]

Does anyone have this 3D print file for both VB and VB BE strap adapter?

[dim magnet]

That's not related to this mod and should be asked in #modding_vpets

[gentle flicker]

Thanks

It doesn't work on the Batman VH. Are you sure you have the Vital Hero and not the original Vital Bracelet? The "incompatible version" error only shows up if you try to install the mod onto anything other than a Vital Hero.

[eager harbor]

@remote mauve has leveled up! (6 ➜ 7)

[remote mauve]

Easy way to check if your bracelet is the original Vital Bracelet or the Vital Hero is looking at the language. If it has any Japanese in it at all, it is the original Vital Bracelet.

[dim magnet]

You can build your own

[brave crypt]

True..

Another what bolts I need to hold the cables with the SD module

[dim magnet]

None

[brave crypt]

Damn sorry to ask alright just gotta use to hold them together then

[dim magnet]

You only need some dupont wires, there's no mounting needed

[brave crypt]

Okay ty

[stoic finch]

So do these features effect the Evolution requirements in some way? Or are evolution requirements left the same?

[remote mauve]

Evolution requirements stay the same, but you have more ways to obtain them. These optional ways, with some being more like QOL improvements and others as new game mechanics, could make it easier to reach said requirements.

[finite garden]

@dim magnet curiostiy question, the Day-Night Background is that data that could be recorded/pulled from a DIM/BEM or is it restricted to the Device Firmware?
Its a really cool feature but doesnt reflect each DIMs theme so was wondering if there was a work around. Thanks!

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @dim magnet (current: #3 - 600)

[dim magnet]

Dims don't have multiple backgrounds, so it's just built-in

It's not a live recolor or anything

Con el mod ya instalado en el vital, las misiones especiales ya no servirían verdad, con VB helper que se puede poner misiones especiales, si le pongo una a un digi ya no la podra cumplir verdad

[dim magnet]

They'll still work, the interface for it has been removed to make space for other stuff

[dusky birch]

Hi I just hopped in the chat, whatcha wondering about VBC?

[dim magnet]

Whether the mod works, and the answer is no

[gentle flicker]

Have you tested yet?

[dim magnet]

Not sure what there is to test. It wasn't built to be compatible with anything other than the version of the firmware that shipped on VH Digimon

[stoic finch]

Do the instructions come with the supply list of what you need in order to do this mod?

[dim magnet]

There's some info included. Also a video

You'll probably still have to find the parts yourself because it's really generic and there's a ton of different sellers

[celest summit]

Hi sorry if this is a stupid question, I installed the pendulum Digimon Link Training gear for my Vital Hero, how do I battle? My mon is stage 3 (Adult) and should be able to battle

[dim magnet]

Depends on how you want to battle. Have you read through the manual for Vital Hero yet?

[celest summit]

I’ve modded my BE also and there’s a battle option in the menus, does this have something similar or is it just NFC battles still?

[dim magnet]

I don't remember that being a specific thing. You need to be more specific, there are a number of types of battles.

[celest summit]

Just a regular battle, no adventure mode or odyssey

Is it possible on this mod?

[dim magnet]

And how does that differ from an NFC battle?

[celest summit]

It’s just the same except you don’t need to scan NFC on your phone to battle, you just go through the menus and select ‘battle’

[dim magnet]

OK. It activates the same way as on the BE mod, but it basically emulates the NFC trigger. It's not a new kind of battle.

And it's not through a menu, that was never a thing. You just hold the bottom button on the home screen.

[celest summit]

Ok thankyou! this is the answer I was looking for, just had a battle 👍🏼 I’m familiar with the BE mods but new to the Digimon Link mod so thought I’d ask here

[trim pivot]

Purchasing links to all the parts needed as well as links to the necessary modding programs are provided in the folders

" Dim programmer purchase guide + tutorials "

" Dim modding guide and video tutorials"

in the download pack

[trim pivot]

The day to night cycle forest artwork are three individual pieces that I created, as well as all the other wallpapers that were hard coded into Dlink, so the forest is not a live recolor as mentioned.

I had the idea for actual live background recolors, so that all wallpaper could be dynamic but the vital bracelets do not support transparent pixels so that desire was squashed by system limitations.

Putting 3 individual drawings was my solution to that and I wish there was room for more, but I'm happy we were able to do what we did with the forest regardless. One dynamic wallpaper is better than none

[finite garden]

100% I love it so much it adds another level of life to the device. (I love the Forest a great choice to pick and done really well).
I was hoping that the data needed could be on the DiM for customising purposes but I was expecting it not to be the case but worth confirming.

How much does the heart rate affect gameplay with the Digimon Link Pendulum? I'm thinking about using a keychain case and would like to know if I'd lose any gameplay mechanics with that.

Just found the answer. Ty! #1369345299587268809 message

Not as much as before. No penalties for not being active, but your mon will still die after 24 hours in Real Monster if no activity. Everything else you can maintain with feeding and praise

Hey, I'm probably going to use this on my VH, so I was reading the research notes that came with it, and I was wondering - is there any way to turn off some of the nex features? I personally like having the steps and vitals on the home menu at all time, would love to be able to keep them there

The two features that excited me about this were the storage mon adv mission function and unlimited hard missions

[reef veldt]

If we can't access the vb helper app, is there a way we can backup digimon through DIM and save it on our PC?

[remote mauve]

If you can't access vb helper, you can still backup Digimon using the original VB Arena app.

[trim pivot]

For extra clarity, as Link's app compatability is often mistaken and questioned, if it works with Arena it will work with helper and vise vera. Link's compatibility has been tested on all apps and used by others.

Digimon Link as always been fully compatible will all the apps as we have not modified any of the NFC components or settings. Link's NFC connection is the same as the stock VH so if it can connect with a stock VH it will connect with Digimon Link

If you can't connect to any apps in general via lack of NFC phone sadly there is no current way to save Digimon

[dusky birch]

Hey @trim pivot here this might help you out

https://www.reddit.com/r/DigimonVitalBracelet/comments/1norb84/vital_bracelet_series_product_information/

I spent a few weeks working out all the details 🙂

Took time to raise them multiple watches and gather data for the devices I didn't own.

[trim pivot]

Thank you that is a very informed list.

The confusion isn't from stock VB's compatibility more so

The issue of Link's continued questioned app compatibility more arises from people assuming that in the modding process we changed or modified the VH internally in some way that it nullified it's NFC connection to apps And the missconception that helpers NFC connection is different than arenas

I wouldn't post corrections but narratives can form fast, and I've seen rumors from these assumptions floating around

[dusky birch]

Gotcha

Still didn't expect VB Arena to treat the OG, Digivice V and VBC as the same device, which has seemed to help with the adventure mission thing?
I'm not sure why thats no longer forgotten as I recall there were problems during the age of both Lab apps.

As for the App confusion, maybe add a note in the room title, that way people cannot miss it. I found from fan projects its best to make text as obvious as possible as people don't read in general.
"Digimon Link Pendulum (VB Arena Compatible) - Add Remaining Text Here"

[trim pivot]

It's in the FAQ, but I agree. it is best put information everywhere you can. I'll put the app compatibility it in the About section in the pins

Side tangent, It's an odd assumption as the Upgrade Memory and VBBE Mod Rollup that Cyanic reverse engineered in the same methods have app compatibility so it should be assumed Digimon Link will as well

App compatibility is a core feature, so keeping that intact was important. We aim to hold everything we release to a high standard.

[dim magnet]

Now that it's in a Google Drive, I suggest breaking down the package so people can read parts of it without downloading the entire thing, which is pretty hefty at around half a gigabyte

[trim pivot]

I'll make a separate link for the manual and place the FAQ within that so that can be downloaded / viewed separately for easier viewing

Update The changes are now reflected in the pins.

Including app compatability +

For more efficient viewing you can now more easily view the manual, FAQ, Video introduction and DIM Prorammer Purchasing guide

[muted coral]

Hey everyone! I’ve only been using the mod for a few days, but I’m already a big fan.

I have a few random questions I haven’t been able to find answers to on here or in the research notes. Would anyone be open to a quick DM?

[trim pivot]

I saw your questions in the modding section, happy to hear you're having fun

On Ver. 1 Legacy the mood meter is represented as a Tamagotchi style bar with a happy and frown face

On Ver. 2 Pendulum it's represented as a Vital Pulse, a homage to Beatbreak

Differen't actions raise and lower mood

When mood is full you get a AP battle bonus. have it too high when praising and your Digimon can become cocky

When it's low or zero you could get a AP penalty and the risk of your Digimon getting injured from certain actions increases

For Travel Meat. In Odyssey mode, When your Digimon's mood is under full you can hold A to feed and it will restore mood and VP

The amount of meat you can carry is based on your rank from raising stats and is great for recovering from battle mood and VP loss

I see I didn't include information about holding A in the manual. I will make the change

[muted coral]

Thank you SOOOO much! This was extremely helpful 🙏🙌

Another quick question for anyone who may know:
For the "step requirements", I'm used to seeing the X or ✅, but for this new character that just evolved I'm seeing a Smiley Face instead? (Apologies if I'm missing this somewhere in the manual)

[trim pivot]

That means your Digimon is Supa happy because you went over and beyond the step requirment for your Digimon's type.

When the step timer goes down to 0 you will get a smiley face on the home screen and all the training results will be X2 and also you won't lose hearts after battle for 15 minutes

[muted coral]

Okay, that’s what I thought, but I wasn’t sure since I didn’t see anything on the home screen

Thank you so much again, you rock! 🙏 🙌

[fiery vale]

Great work!

[open finch]

How to refill the 3 hearts in the digimon menu? I don't have any injuries, step requirements are fulfilled, pulse is at max. I tried feeding, praising, but nothing gets the hearts back to 3 full hearts

[dim magnet]

Depends on the version, should be indicated in the manual

IIRC it's supposed to be daily

[open finch]

Digivice version. I checked the manual and I cannot find the line where it says anything about refilling the hearts. It would have been way eaiser if the text inside the pdf was searchable using Find. I do see it says that the hearts refill after putting the digimon to sleep at night, but isn't there a way to do this manually without having to wait for the sleep cycle?

[dim magnet]

It's supposed to be spread out across sleep

I don't quite remember the details

[trim pivot]

The information is on page 10 of Legacy and page 11 of Pendulum’s manual.

Legacy resets hearts automatically each day at 12 AM, while, as mentioned, Pendulum recovers them over time through sleep when your Digimon is in Sleepy status.

There’s no manual heart heal because the game is designed this way to emulate the illusion of life from the classic v-pets and to encourage more interaction and care management in the VB ecosystem, which has been my core goal of the project.

That said, if you want less V Pet interaction, you can ape the Legacy version with a manual heart heal by switching the time to 11:59 and waiting for it to turn over to 12 AM. For a somewhat manual heal effect

[open finch]

But legacy doesnt have power trophies for extra AP

[dim magnet]

Hey Comic Munch! Im new here, can you tell me the digmon link is a mod for the vital hero? do i have to buy the same ch341 something that people use to mod the pendulum color yo mod a dim to apply the digimon link. mod to the vital hero? I cant find info im too dumb or too old, or just my glasses are not working properly

[woeful stream]

never mind I think im the right place! already read everything is there people on ebay selling the dim already with the digimon link mod maybe? that would be cool

[trim pivot]

No place to buy it pre programmed that's legal.

You'll benefit more from buying / assembling a DIM programmer

You'll be able to swap between the firmware versions anytime you want, if a new update comes out you'll be able to download it,

• if you make sure to follow the restore procedure properly *

and one of the best things is you will be able to mod dim cards, which opens up the content of what you can raise on the device to be limitless

vital hero only (and explicitly not the batman one either)

[dusty musk]

Hey all, for someone who has never played with a vpet ever, is the Legacy or Pendulum version more beginner friendly? And also a side question, after I load in the mod firmware, is it fine to insert in the regular dim cards like other digimons etc?

[round idol]

Actually, the plural of Digimon is Digimen.

[trim pivot]

The Pendulum Digivice Ver. Is beginner friendly. It has a lot of the Vpet features but very few penalties for missing them.

• Digital Monster has the same vpet features as Digivice, but has penalties for care mistakes.. and is standard difficulty

Real Digital Monster has the most V-Pet features and is the hard mode

After you successfully install the mod you can use DIMS and connect to the app as you would on the stock device.

Just remember to set aside and not write over the DIM you used to install Digimon Link as you need it if you ever want to return to the stock firmware.

[dusty musk]

Awesome, thanks for the tips. Is the VS DIM safe to have the firmware on, or does it have other uses I might not be aware of?

If you plan on battling and want to save the VS DIM, you can buy DIM 2 packs for around $ 4-7 on Amazon.

[cedar heath]

to install the graphic mod does it have to be after installing digimon linkz on the dim card?

[trim pivot]

No. The images in the graphics pool can be installed at any point.

Those graphics are applied to the DIM cards via the CFOgrady DIM modifier program.

[severe elbow]

Can I use custom Dim with the Digital Link mod?

[dim magnet]

Yes

There's no indication of why you wouldn't be able to

[severe elbow]

Thanks. I'm... Thecnology challenged 😬
Digimon Link looks so awesome, I wanna mod my Vital Hero, but I'm afraid I do something wrong.

[trim pivot]

That’s understandable. As far as mods go, this one is very beginner friendly. There’s no opening up the device to install, and the patching process includes safeguards to protect the Vital Hero. So there is no risk of damaging the device.

The only slightly technical part is assembling the programmer, which is similar to putting together Legos.

@trim pivot Hi Comic! my Vital Hero Finally Arrived to Ecuador

One Question, the micro sd came without soldering and i dont know how to solder neither have the tools, should i go to a place that solder and asked for help or I can do it withoit soldering?

this stuff

A real picture 🙂

[trim pivot]

Awesome! If you can that would be ideal. If not you can hold the female wires to the Micro SD's pins by hand while the process runs.

You may have to hold and press slightly upward. I bought one ( I have two assembled ones ) that came unsoldered and I have to do that to get it to keep connection

[woeful stream]

that sounds nice, I can try doing that, I got the dim cards you told me to save the vs versus dim to battle with my friends 🙂

thanks for everything @trim pivot 😄

[round idol]

Should be spoilers in this channel. Try the search

[severe elbow]

Thank you! 😄

I have another questio, how do i restrore the original software?

[dim magnet]

Insert the same Dim you used to install

[severe elbow]

it says Dim Fail

[dim magnet]

Did you make a backup?

[severe elbow]

yeah

[dim magnet]

Restore the backup on to it

[severe elbow]

it keeps saying Dim Fail

[eager harbor]

@severe elbow has leveled up! (0 ➜ 1)

SHINKA!

@severe elbow has evolved into Baby I!

[dim magnet]

Restore the backup of the Dim that you made to the Dim

Other thing is maybe your Dim slot's a bit loose, so you can try pushing the Dim a bit towards you

[severe elbow]

I did that

[dim magnet]

Are you sure the Dim corresponds to your VH?

[severe elbow]

yeah

[dim magnet]

Weird

First I've heard of anyone having issues with just loading the backup

[severe elbow]

Should i try to use the VS Dim to try to restore it, maybe the dim is kinda loose or something

[dim magnet]

If you want you can send me the file to check if there's something wrong with it, but the patch installer does make sure that the backup data is valid before allowing the patch to be committed

Sure, try other Dims

[severe elbow]

i tried loading a normal dim

it says dim fail

[dim magnet]

If an arbitrary Dim fails to load, there's probably something wrong with your VH

[severe elbow]

i turn off and on and is working now

ok, so just to make sure. I eas trying the Digivice Version, before installing the digital monster version.
Now that I decided to stay with the digital Monster version, i have to restore de backup, write into the dim the digital monster version then install it right?

[dim magnet]

Oh... That issue I have heard of. There's a bug somewhere that ends up breaking Dim loading until you reboot. Still haven't found the source of it.

[severe elbow]

thank you

[dim magnet]

Yes, before installing a different version of the mod, you need to restore the original firmware, then install the new one

[severe elbow]

ok, i restored the original software, now i have to rewrite the Digital Monster Version into the dim right?

Thank you so much! i was so sad because i tought i did something wrong

[burnt haven]

is 2.0 out?

im only seeing download for 1.5 but seeing mentions of it

[dim magnet]

There is no 2.0

[burnt haven]

oh my bad

thought u guys did an update for a second

[woeful stream]

@dim magnet hey cyanic, one qestiion about the ver digivice.dim, its too much like the digivice color 20th? I already have the dgivice 20th, and the pendulum color, should I just go for the ver digital monster.bin or the digivice version would let me still train him to digivolve? (or digivolution is only going to the menu and choose whatever I like without waiting or training?) sorry to bother you

[dim magnet]

Gameplay not similar at all to the Digivice toy

Recommended looking at the manual to see what features are in each

[woeful stream]

yeah Im looking at it, just confused that if digivolution is unblocked from the start or I still have to complete the proceess to diviovler at least the first time

@dim magnet

🙂

It says temporary but don’t says if it will unlocked from the start or I have to still train him, feed him and find the requirements needed for a specific evolution until is unlocked

[woeful stream]

Sorry English is not my first language so it’s kinda confusing for me

I think the middle one is like the pendulum but the last one is more less pendulum and more cinematic is that right?

[dim magnet]

It still plays like a VB, just things built on top

So the evolution flow is not changed significantly

[trim pivot]

As just mentioned, Through all the versions, The evolution requirements are the same as the stock VBs

So to evolve them you need to accumulate VP, Trophies, Battles and % Wins.

The raising difference between the stock VB and Digimon Link in the three versions is how much care is needed to prevent your Digimon from dying.

In all versions excluding Pendulum Digivice, through care and management you have to maintain your Digimon's happiness and keep its battle hearts from reaching zero to prevent pre mature death.

Real Digital Monster emulates the traditional care pets the most. As Digimon die via old age and wake and go to sleep independently. If you fail to put your Digimon to sleep when it's sleepy and it goes to bed by itself you get a care mistake,, and if you miss evolution requirements past the Rookie/ Child stage your Digimon will age rapidly pushing it closer to old age and it will die.

Digital Monster is the standard VB gameplay with all Digimon Link's features incorporated

Digivice is like Digital Monster only Digimon will de evolve to Rookie at midnight and there are no care mistakes for Pendulum Digivice

Interesting note: Digimon Link and it's Digivice Ver. doesnt emulate Digivice Color's features. Rather all Digimon Link's game versions ADV features are closer to an emulation of the original early 2000's Digivice toys where you face encounter Digimon as you progress to the boss and if you lose you go backwards in the map further away from the boss

[woeful stream]

thanks! to both that makes perfect sense, I now understand! I will try the digivice version because im already taking care of my pendulum color and normal dgivice 20th color 🙂

[woeful stream]

Thank you 😊 it’s beautiful 🤩

[woeful stream]

on Digivice mode I imagen theres no go to sleep button so he ended there in the blacl zone

oh i found it in case anyone wants to know how tyo put tjhem to sleep is presing both buttons in digivice version 🙂

[remote mauve]

Press both buttons at the same time on that screen.

Edit: Nevermind; it looks like you figured it out. For some reason, the messages hadn't updated yet.

[silent kettle]

is there a way to try all three versions? I really like the idea of the Digivice version but I feel like the Original V pet is something id like to try out, and while I'm at it I might as well try the other version

[silent kettle]

does the mod remove the ability to use the HR sensor?

[trim pivot]

Short answer:

Partially in a way that you won't notice it's effects in game.

Technical summary for anyone who would like a precise overview on how it works:

Digimon Link doesn't fully disable the background HRM functions. However, it mask over them and removes the main complaint everyone has: VP and happiness loss when the watch thinks you're not wearing it. It also includes other modifications which circumvent the HRM effects.

That removes the need for any tape tricks people use to trick the sensor.

Essentially that's the most noticeable and dominant thing the HRM really effects in the game.

The Heart rate monitor partially determines how many Trophies you get when training but it doesn't influence the outcome that much as you can still easily gets max results just from exercising normally or shaking the watch.

Then HRM was designed to give you bonus vitals if you get high Heart rate depending on Digimon activity type. But as we all know, the sensor is unreliable, To circumvent this you can now do a training option which solely raises vitals the same way you train for Trophies.

This actually makes gaining vitals, more hands on, less stress full and random than relying on the non reliable HR sensor to reward you VP

Then the HR sensor also affected the stock games battles by causing your Digimon to lower and raise mood which gives or takes away AP during battle.

With the new stat raising system that extra AP bonus or penalty doesn't matter anymore if you train your Digimon. So a bad HR reading won't cause you to unfairly lose a battle as it would in the stock game, Granted If you raise your Digimon's stats through training.

So in the end, yes the HR monitor is still functioning in the background but with Digimon Link, you won't notice it in game as you did before in the stock version

[dusky birch]

Vital Hero is way cheaper too if you are in the USA

https://www.reddit.com/r/DigimonVitalBracelet/comments/1norb84/vital_bracelet_series_product_information/

Heres a product hardware chart I made

[static marlin]

its also cheaper here in aus atleast if you go by amazon prices with the early vital bracelets and the be being the next cheapest

[dusky birch]

Oh right

[silent kettle]

hi there just noticed the device doesnt make a sound when the Digimon poops or needs food, is that true or did I just missed the call?

[trim pivot]

You missed the call. There's a handful of events that turn the screen on and make a jingle when they happen. Hunger and poop included.

There's no instant penalty for not hearing them and reacting instantly, like traditional vpets you have a set time to react after the alert before you get a penalty ( no penalties if you're playing Digivice Ver. Because it's not designed to be a full Vpet. )

[severe elbow]

Can you check you heart rate in the Legacy Versión?

[trim pivot]

Yes

[severe elbow]

Awesome. One more question how much does the trophies boosts the stats in the Legacy Versión?

[trim pivot]

That's 1 AP + 20% DP every 3 Trophies for Legacy

[severe elbow]

Thnak you! 😄

[severe elbow]

Sorry if i have so many questions 😬
In Pendulum mode, if you fail to defeat the boss in odyssey, you need to start over?

[dim magnet]

You go back some steps and try again

[severe elbow]

There is no Heart Rate Monitor in Pendulum Versión right?

[dim magnet]

Correct. The heart rate is better ignored in any version, because it updates not very frequently and is almost always inaccurate

[severe elbow]

You are totally right.
I really love all the mods you did.
You see, I suffer from Anxiety, and I've been having Panic Attacks since my mom died 2 years ago.
Digimon has helped me a lot these few months, the videogame and now the Vital Hero.
I know that the HRM is not very accurate, but it kinda makes me feel better when I see my heart rate is not that high, because, one of the simptoms of having anxiety is the Cardiophobia (irrational fear of having a heart attack).
So, when I feel like I'm starting to have a panic attack and check the HRM, and I see Is not that high, it really helps.
Sorry if I'm venting out here, but I really appreciate all your hard work, is just that I'm making sure to install the right Mod for me. ☺️
Again, I'm so greatful for all your help.
And I think I will stick to the Legacy Version for now. ❤️

[trim pivot]

I'm glad to hear Digimon and now the VB series has had such an impact on your life.
And that's a totally understandable situation.

I wanted a sleeker menu for my design of the Pendulum ver. Where you go straight into the Digimon's stats section. So I moved the Vital meter and steps to the Digimon section and removed the rest from the first menu option.

Originally I had planned to move the heart rate sensor to the Digimon section as well. However, there are some reverse-engineering limitations that Cyanic has to work through. Mostly everything in Digimon link looks simple on the surface but are actually very complicated behind the scenes, which prevented the heart rate sensor from being moved over to that section.

So I chose to leave it behind, and I felt justified in doing so because, as mentioned above, the sensor isn't very accurate and most of its effects are already negated by the mechanics I put in place.

While I'm content with the new sleeker layout that allows for faster navigation in Pendulum, I value your feedback and hope you continue to enjoy whichever version works best for you.

[severe elbow]

Sorry, i have more questions:
If i raise the stats by power training, change the software to Legacy, then change it back to Pendulum, does my Digimon retain all the power trhopies?

[eager harbor]

@severe elbow has leveled up! (1 ➜ 2)

[dim magnet]

It may or may not. I don't think that scenario was tested.

[severe elbow]

Let's Find out 🫡

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

@severe elbow has evolved into Baby II!

[severe elbow]

I'm testing the theory. Can i change several times the software safely right?

[dim magnet]

Yes

[severe elbow]

Awesome

[trim pivot]

I tested the ability various times as I was doing bug testing before the official release of Pendulum

Yes you can transfer from Pendulum to Legacy back to Pendulum and retain the Power Trophies.

This is because the new Power Trophy system I created for the Pendulum version are originally created values that travels with the Digimon's NFC data where ever it goes

[severe elbow]

That was what i thogh. Is kinda like the Pokemon, the Hex values dictate personality, items attached, etc.

[silent kettle]

do power trophies reset at midnight in the Pendulum Digivice version?

[dim magnet]

No

[sullen hull]

holaa, pregunto, no hay ninguna forma de que un vital hero acepte un dim BE, quiero un dorumon pero solo tiene un dim BE y yo un Vital Hero

[dim magnet]

No, BEMs are not supported

Podrías editar una Dim y hacer una familia evolutiva de Dorumon.

[severe elbow]

Hi, why can't I see the evolution history of my digimon? 🥺

[severe elbow]

I'm using Pendulum Digital Monster

Not seen that one before. Does it work for other characters?

[severe elbow]

Yeah, I have a Gabumon and I can see the evolution history

[dim magnet]

It might be some weird thing that happened when sending to and from the app is my guess

[severe elbow]

Yeah I was thinking the same.
Before it evolved to Omegamon, I sent it to vb arena and used the Timer item thingy to reduce the waiting time.

If I send it to the app and back again to the Bracelet, should it return to normal? 🤔🤔🤔

[dim magnet]

Not sure. If the data's been overwritten in that section, you won't be able to get it back.

[severe elbow]

So sad. But is not like game breaking.

[vapid veldt]

Hello, i'm having trouble with Dim Modifier, it let's me save just fine, but then when i go search for the file it just doesn't exist

is there solution for that?

[dim magnet]

Probably should ask in #modding_vpets, because it's not a question directly about the mod

[vapid veldt]

ok

[trim pivot]

This happened to me in the past once, had to play around with.

Even if the name is already in the text box that comes up when you press save, erase it and type the name you want manually again and save it as a

.bin

and see if that helps. Also try saving it to another folder if that doesn't work. If you are using Cfogrady's or Aderek's Dim Modifier, try using the other one and see if it still happens

General message about DIM modding and Digimon Link:

As the project lead and the one who commissioned the creation of Digimon Link, I want to ensure this thread remains focused on the Digimon Link experience, while also clarifying what that full experience includes.

As noted in the manual I created, DIM modding is encouraged and is essential for using the additional graphics I created — including egg hatch sprites and battle graphics — that are included in the download package. DIM modding is also required to translate the Japanese DIM names to English using Swaystation's Name Gen. The manual further encourages creating or downloading custom DIMs so players can use BEM monsters. DIM modding is therefore a core part of the end-to-end gameplay ecosystem surrounding Digimon Link.

Since I mod DIMs regularly, I’m happy to assist with general DIM modding questions. If I’m not present, I also encourage the Digimon Link community to help where possible.

That said, as mentioned, let’s keep the focus on Digimon Link itself. This thread isn’t meant to become a general creative thread for sharing DIM projects, posting WIP builds, or discussing unrelated BEM/OTP modding. Non-essential modding topics will likely not be supported here.

For broader discussions on DIM modding and the VB in general, please refer to the general modding channel.

Other than that, feel free to ask about the dim modding tools required to get the most out of the Digimon Link graphics and gameplay systems.

[severe elbow]

Hi, does the Kamen Rider Dim work with the Link Pendulum?

[dim magnet]

Technically yes, but you won't be able to transfer it to the app

[severe elbow]

Thanks. My nephew just bought his own Vital Hero because he loves Digimon, but he's a huge Kamen Rider fan.
I want to share digimon link with him. ❤️

One more thing, when digimon get sleepy, how many hours do they need to sleep?

[trim pivot]

I can’t give the exact amount of time because I like to keep a level of mystery, discovery, and immersion in the game. That’s why I avoid sharing certain specific times or numbers for some scenarios in the Manual and here.

However, here’s a clue: since time moves faster in the Digimon’s digital mainframe, their restorative sleep cycle is shorter than the average human’s.

[severe elbow]

Awesome thank you. ❤️

Not If you put the Digimon to sleep when you go to sleep.

The Digimon don't require steps when they are asleep.

If you forget and doze off when they are awake, then yes they could die if left for long periods of time.

• If you're playing the Real Digital Monster ver. Digimon can wake up automatically after a period of time if you put them to sleep when they weren't In sleepy status so be careful of that *

[silent kettle]

ty

[proven marsh]

Just wanna say, I bought a Vital Hero for me and my girlfriend as soon as I learned about yalls mod. Super excited to get it going!

[tribal sail]

Me too! This mod sounds like a near perfect digivice experience for me.

Are there any plans to bring this to the BE? Sorry if this has already been answered

[trim pivot]

There's really no reason too as Digimon Link ports all of the most significant BE's features to the VH at this point.

And I picked the VH because most fans can access it for $15 which is the smallest price point In comparison to what everyone usually buys and imports here which usually goes into the $100 range

Also, Like the Pendulum Color + mods being exclusive to specific Pen color devices due to firmware differences. The VBs and Digimon Link are the same.

These mods, that mod official Bandai devices are done via advanced reverse engineering, a lot different than programming from scratch and the freedom you get from that, essentially these mods are breaking into Bandai's code, a code that was never meant to be broken into via hacking, to be blunt .

Because of this each Bandai device has it's own unique long list of internal firmware IDs and checks that have to be dealt with, with care or the whole system crashes, which makes porting mods from one type of VB ( Or Pen C or DMC ) to another not possible without a lot of heavy resources. That's why each mod can only work for the specific VB it was made for.

Also, Digimon Link was commissioned by me and I've decided to put my focus on making the VH Mod continually better instead of spreading resources and time via porting, and the Pendulum Ver. is a result of that decision.

And after all that, Ironically the BE can't fit all the memory usage Digimon Link takes to run, as the BE used all it's internal memory having 3 storage spaces.

Those three Storage spaces and the BEM card capability are the only two things the BE has left.

I'd be more resourceful to adapt BEM cards to Digimon Link at this point. ( it can possibly be done and Cyanic has worked on it but no plans to implement In the near future )

[proven marsh]

How have you found the battery life to be on the VH when modded? I imagine there is at least some drop off since there's more actions being done.

I take mine to work since I do like 20k steps a day

[trim pivot]

Like the BE, If you do a bunch of rep training it will run down the battery faster, as it activates the heart rate sensor.

It'll still last awhile though. I never went and got like 50 -100 power Trophies and had the device turn off from low power.

Really the training function is the only thing that runs down battery the most. ADV mode, and the rest is slight usage.

Especially if you're just wearing it to work and not using the training function, It won't burn through that much battery, it'll definitely last your work day

[proven marsh]

Cool awesome, thank you

[eager harbor]

SHINKA!

@proven marsh has evolved into Baby I!

[vernal summit]

kinda wish that winning odyssey battles advanced your step count instead of hoping for the rare encounter to do so, unless im reading this wrong

[trim pivot]

You got it. Special encounters are Digimon who are above the usual level in that area, so you're rewarded with bonus steps if your Digimon is strong enough to beat them.

Gaining steps for all encounter wins is a neat idea, but in game design everything has to be balanced and work off the design principle of contrast.

What makes the rare encounters special is that they are juxtaposed against the regular encounters, where you don't gain steps, but your reward is not going back in steps if you win.

If everything is rewarded then nothing feels like a reward. So punishments and cool downs must be put in place to make the wins feel more special.

Also, it has to be considered that by going forward in steps for every encounter win, it would take away from the RPG challenge slightly, as you would reach the goal way too quickly.

Instead of making every encounter reward steps, there's another way I thought of to reward bonus steps with another approach that I’ve already drafted, which could possibly be incorporated in the future and would make Odyssey Mode even more immersive and RPG like.

[vernal summit]

neato, that makes sense. looking forward to that odyssey feature down the line

[severe elbow]

Hi, my NoblePumpkinmon always get sleepy around 8pm, is there a way to change that, besides changing the clock?

[remote mauve]

Not sure if it's an issue with my DIM or with Digimon Link. Both on the VH and on VB Helper, Numemon doesn't show up on Monzaemon's evolution history. I only transferred him once to VB Helper. Before that, Numemon was already missing from the list.

I see in this [post](#1369345299587268809 message) that someone else encountered a similar problem.

[eager harbor]

@remote mauve has leveled up! (7 ➜ 8)

[trim pivot]

No, the indivual sleep times are based on digimon's activity types where Digimon will get sleepy at different times like real animals with different personalities as I designed the game to be a V-Pet experience.

[trim pivot]

Yes, that’s an odd situation. It's currently unknown if it’s a Digimon Link issue or a random stock error.

In one case, someone restored their Anubismon’s history by transferring to Digivice Ver., letting it de-evolve overnight, then raising it again.

[remote mauve]

Is clearing adventure level 15 in Odyssey mode supposed to be locked to the specific character that cleared it? My son cleared adventure level 15 on the Dinosaur Roar DIM using his Omegamon, but when he went to evolve his BlackWarGreymon into Omegamon Zwart, it showed that the Adv 15 requirement was still not fulfilled.

[trim pivot]

Correct, the specific character. That behavior is from the stock device as VB Lab isnt active to save the ADV clear status to the dim for the og VB, Digivice V and VH, even when a Digimon in storage has cleared the map.

[verbal flame]

What is this once again ?

[trim pivot]

Read the Wiki article in the pins

[verbal flame]

Yeah I did

[remote mauve]

Got a similar issue as before. This time it happened to our newly evolved Omegamon Zwart. He just evolved from BlackWarGreymon right after I transferred him from VB Arena.

His evolution history shows:
Botamon > Koromon > Agumon > Greymon > DarkTyrannomon > VictoryGreymon > Omegamon Zwart

Greymon to DarkTyrannomon is Adult to Adult.

The correct line should have been:
Greymon > Metal Greymon (Virus) > BlackWarGreymon > Omegamon Zwart

[dim magnet]

I wonder if it has something to do with immediate evolutions after NFC transfers not capturing the history correctly

Did you happen to have something similar to the old evolution route on your backup?

[remote mauve]

No, sorry, I don't. But in my previous [post](#1369345299587268809 message) about Monzaemon, he had not immediately evolved after an NFC transfer nor was he previously transferred at all. He was still showing incorrect evolution history before any NFC transfers even happened.

[dim magnet]

I took a quick look at VB Arena and the stock firmware, and it is still a mystery. I don't see anything immediately wrong with the firmware handling (though I didn't check whether they could have been writing to the wrong slot), and VB Arena only updates a few variables, none of which should be touching the evolution history

[remote mauve]

Sorry, I think I misunderstood your question. Yes, in our capsule backup, we had an Omegamon. His evolution history showed correctly:

Botamon > Koromon > Agumon (Virus) > Greymon (Virus) > MetalGreymon (Virus) > WarGreymon > Omegamon

Hola tengo una pregunta, y necesito ayuda, ya tengo los 3 vital hero con la versión pendulum pero al momento de usar las vs dim siempre el digimon invitado muere de un golpe

[trim pivot]

The trophy loss glitch appears in all three versions. It’s a very rare anomaly, and in my testing so far, I haven’t been able to identify any conclusive reproducible triggers or patterns.

Could you describe what you were doing when it happened, or did you only notice the trophies were missing when you checked the device after a period of inactivity?

[severe elbow]

Earlier today I started a odyssey, but I lost in the very first battle. Because I was kinda busy I canceled the odyssey.
Then about 30 minutes ago, I noticed my digimon's vital was not full, and because it lost a battle, I tried to cheer him up.
But he became cocky with just one praise.
So I scolded him, then checked his stats and realized all the power thophies were gone.
In retrospective, maybe I lost the Trophies before the odyssey, because how could I have lost the very first random battle encounter with 105 power thophies? 🤔

[trim pivot]

Thanks for the detailed summary. Ya, sounds like they were gone before doing the praise and scold routines

Losing randomly to a weak opponent when you should have had enough to beat them is usually how I sometimes notice they're gone as well.

We’ll continue to keep an eye on this.

[muted coral]

Randomly while facing the boss in Odyssey mode I'll fail the fight even though the 5 rounds ended with me having more health then the boss (even sometimes having FULL health). Other times it works as expected, and I win the fight. Is this a glitch or am I missing something?

[dim magnet]

IIRC it should be the one with more health that wins, though I'll have to check

[muted coral]

That's what I thought, I wonder if it's a glitch then. It seems random

[trim pivot]

You may need more Power Trophies.

Even if you hit the opponent every single time if their HP score is higher they will win.

The Base HP and all stats have been raised considerably especially stage 15

[muted coral]

But if the rounds end in a "draw", doesn't the digimon with the highest remaining health win?

I had full health and the enemy was down to 1/2 and they still won (this happens randomly, like I said. Othertimes it works as expected and the bigger health bar wins)

[trim pivot]

Yes. Because their HP may still be higher. Their bar can 1/2 empty and they still can have more HP than you

Especially since they have boosted stats now

[muted coral]

OHHHHH. I think I understand what you mean, the HP bar doesn't necessarily indicate points but percentage, so their 1/2 HP bar could still be more than my full bar

[trim pivot]

Exactly you got it, and as your base AP goes up from Power Trophies you'll take bigger and bigger chunks off their HP

[muted coral]

Thank you for the explanation, that explains why the win/loss would seem random!

[lavish schooner]

Hi question when should I praise my digimon? And if my digimon got cocky what should I do to get it back to normal?

[dim magnet]

You can praise whenever you want, though for the most part it's when mood is low

[lavish schooner]

I see thank you

[lavish schooner]

Question how does the pendulum battle works to hit tera shot? I always get miss even I got 30 shakes

[vast trout]

iirc it's lower than 15

depends on your digi's activity level too

[lavish schooner]

Do I have to figure it out? Or is there a list how many times per digi activity level?

I got a tera shot 10 shakes

And mega hit 13 times

I figured it out thank you

[lavish schooner]

Since I really wonna play the vb not the be this is the best mod that I play. Thank you for creating this patch

[lavish schooner]

Is it normal when I turn off my vb my vital points, win count, trophies resets and only my power trophy remain?

Or maybe it resets after evolution

[trim pivot]

Yes that's what's happening

[dim magnet]

Yes?

[halcyon atlas]

okay I'll continue looking for it hahaha thanks for your hardwork on the Vital Bracelets 🙂

[dim magnet]

Check pins/first post

[halcyon atlas]

I just acquired a vital hero batman so I will mod it in awhile

I am also using the mod in my Vital BE as well as the companion app. Am having a blast even though the official sources were already discontinued

wow I've been reading the manual. This is totally different from the BE mod

oh and I just assembled this just sharing:

[remote mauve]

I'm pretty sure this mod isn't compatible with the VH Batman one.

[halcyon atlas]

ohh okay lemme check

But my research says that it is the same version as the other vital heroes (agumon, gabumon, and pulsemon) can anyone confirm?

[remote mauve]

Sorry, any Digimon Vital Hero will work. The Batman Vital Hero will not. It has been confirmed by both cyanic and Comic Munch:

[calm locust]

I've read through the manual, but I'm still a bit confused on how the Odyssey mode works. Note: I don't have a VH yet so have no actual experience with the mod and Odyssey mode.

Is Odyssey comparable to the regular adventure mode where you need to hit x steps to complete a stage, but now it also has battles in between?

[dim magnet]

More or less. There's also some stat scaling for enemies

[calm locust]

Cool! So it's more difficult than regular dims/bems?

[dim magnet]

That's subjective. You should be fine if you keep up with training

[calm locust]

Fair, I know that the raising mechanics add more depth and so do the training mechanics.
I generally find the bems and dims easy to complete, especially the adventure mode. It doesn't require much training to win the fights. So I'm looking for a bit more of a challenge and I'm trying to determine if Odyssey could offer that

[trim pivot]

If a more challenging ADV mode, where you have to train is one of your goals, Digimon Link Pendulum will deliver.

The way I boosted the stats of all the Digimon in ADV to contrast with the Power Trophy bonus, Power Trophies are required to win.

The necessary minimum of Power Trophies also progressively goes up as the stages go up as well.

• Ver. 1 Legacy has stat training but I did not modify the Adventure map so Power Trophies isn't a requirement. Since the ADV Digimon are stock game strength.

[atomic trout]

hey guys, sorry if this is dumb question but after i install the mod and set the time it asks me to put a dim card in. do i just put another normal card in or did i mess up something?

[trim pivot]

That's standard. You're set to put in a normal DIM and start having fun.

[deep root]

So, this MOD can only be used on the "Vital Hero - Digimon" and is incompatible with "Vital Hero - Batman," the "1st Gen Vital Bracelet," "2nd Gen Vital Bracelet," or the "Vital Bracelet BE," right? Apologies if this has been asked before and I missed it.

[dim magnet]

Correct

[deep root]

My god, I was so excited when I saw this post, but now it looks like it was all for nothing.

😩

[dim magnet]

Vital Hero devices are fairly cheap. Not sure they're extremely common anymore, but there should still be places selling it at an affordable price

[deep root]

You're right, but in my country, the Vital Hero is three times the price of the Gen 2, and six times the price of the Gen 1.

[proven marsh]

How do I figure out what the pendulum shake count is? Do I just shake to every number until I succeed?

[trim pivot]

Yes, that's how the original Pendulum toys did it, you had to practice to find the right numbers unless you bought a guide book. Practicing to find the right number adds to the immersion, discovery and fun interaction with your Digimon. A hint, The number is not higher than 20.

If you would rather just have the numbers instead the community has shared the numbers In spoiler tag comments. Just browse the chat

Great! I will deposit it in the capsule, providing adequate rest for my amazing partner

[edgy smelt]

I came to hatchery like 2 years ago looking for this in particular, and people laughed at me, saying to "just buy a BE" and that this sort of project would be a waste of time/impossible
Now I assume they all run it, so, I'm glad to see someone did in fact do this. Much appreciated.

[trim pivot]

I really appreciate that. It’s funny you mention that because I had a very similar experience years ago on a popular Digimon forum. I suggested that the Digimon franchise needed to move toward color V-pets to reach modern audiences, and the staff mocked me, saying they would 'never sell' and threatening to ban me if I kept talking about stupid things.

Of course, now that color V-pets are the standard, those same people are playing them, having completely forgotten they once said "Bandai would never ever make a Color traditional Vpet, no money it it"

Then, before I preceeded in the process of creating Digimon Link, I saw so much misinformation about how the Vital Hero 'couldn't be modded.' Just as you mentioned.

I'm glad I did my own research.

Don’t mind people laughing at you; those who look toward the future are always gatekept by those who can't see past the present.

My hope for Digimon Link is that it not only provides a fun experience but also encourages people to not always listen to what's popular or trending but to fact check and investigate for themselves, think different and consider possibilities, even when others mock you or even ignore you for it. Cause, in the end, you could help others with your unique way of thinking.

[edgy smelt]

I am encouraged, and I'll be snagging another Hero soon to Frankenstein it myself eventually

[orchid ember]

Has any one thought of or tried to make a very simple case for the VH?
Like one that just smooths out the watch attachments and maybe covers the sensor, but leaves everything else alone

[empty gazelle]

There's a bunch of cases for the Vital Bracelet on thingiverse. You're better off searching for yourself and looking for one that satisfies you.

[orchid ember]

Thank you.
I did that and couldn’t find one that I liked. Comic Munch found a good one over and posted in the the modding vpets

[orchid ember]

You win! I found this one. It isn’t exactly what I am thinking but close enough either the guy who does my printing or maybe someone here can solve it

I have what feel slike a dumb question, but not sure where else to ask >_>
Does anyone have a dump of the eggs the dim modder wants? I see hatched eggs in the Link resources, but, are those the same file?

[trim pivot]

This folder ripped by Grimer contains all the stock egg sprites.

[edgy smelt]

Thank you, and I apologize

Oh, an editable egg too, cute!

[trim pivot]

It wasn't your fault. You cannot export egg sprites on DIM Modifier. That's why you ran into your problem

[edgy smelt]

It's almost funny the amount of times I've rewritten this first one xd

Hi, about the mod would be possible to train with screen of to save battery? Go walking/running for30-40min consumes the battery faster.

Last I heard saving breaks between versions, but that was also several months ago

[orchid ember]

Where?!? I thought it was shut down?

[dim magnet]

They made it offline with the latest version

So if you have it installed previously, just reinstall it from the app store and it'll start in offline mode

If you have it currently installed, you'll need to clear app data otherwise it'll try to connect to the server for migration and fail

[orchid ember]

So I have Lab but not arena. I never installed it. I am guessing there is no way around that

[orchid ember]

iOS. Maybe if someone shared the app I could grab it. Like long press and share

Now, do these patch over the older one, or is it subject to the Bin dump error?
-# either way, two more Heros ordered I guess

[trim pivot]

When you switch versions or install an update you must revert the device stock first.

Returning to stock before installing new firmware prevents any case of accidents during the installation.

Each Digimon Link install will put a restore file into the DIM you're using to load Digimon Link. You must make sure to
Never write over it. Just store it with the rest of your DIMS cards until you're ready to restore to stock again. Also, you should save it to the computer as well as for secondary protection.

If you do lose it, your device will be 100% functional. Just you will not be able to return to stock any longer

[edgy smelt]

You're awesome! Is there plans for any 2.5, or anything? I have a possibly impossible request, if there is;

I've always found it sad how we can only battle the dim adventure,
I know asking for too much is absurd, - like being able to adventure the Other Dim on the watch, if you have two active,
but what if, somehow, we could insert a few encounters Inherent to the uhhh watch Bin,
So for example, regardless of Dim, we'd encounter Gaburimon in the first area, then the Dim rookie in the second area,
Basically incorporate a few Enemy Mooks into the vital itself, that rotate with the dim to make the adventure slightly more diverse :x
even just goblimon -> ogremon -> rebellimon, or something, a small 3 encounter

[dim magnet]

Not enough space, the existing character loading code have no facilities to load outside of Dims, shouldn't incorporate copyrighted content directly

[edgy smelt]

figured, wondered, and ooph (in order)
-# but then again, 2 years ago, they said the exact same thing about the Entire Vital Hero, so maybe I'll check back in a year

If you can somehow trick it into letting us explore Either dim's adventure path, we could just load an Enemy Roster as the second Dim,
-# I hate the Jogress mechanic on the vital anyway
Tricking the watch/dim sounds do-able by comparison, if space is the foremost issue

[dim magnet]

Loading enemies from backup Dim is supported, but not sure how desirable, and would require some rework to separate that out from the current adventure selection. I think this might have been discussed at some point, but TBH you can't expect the project to go on forever.

[edgy smelt]

no ofc, I wanted to do all this myself, but you guys beat me to it/I would've surely hit a dead end
2.0 is a boat load, and I certainly am not ungrateful!

[trim pivot]

Nothing wrong with your comments. It's thanks to questions like that Digimon Link exsist

I always encourage open brainstorming. In fact, nearly every feature in Digimon Link exists because I intuitively developed workarounds for hardware limitations or space constraints that 'shouldn't' have been possible to bypass.

Many times I was told something was a ROM process and I had to create blueprints to work around it. The time management system, was developed because of gameplay blueprints I drafted to counter the restraints of ROM.

Ver. 2 Pendulum exist because I didn't take no for an answer and found ways to redistribute memory we didn't have, as a whole Digimon Link only exists because I refused to accept the popular lingo of the time that ' The VH couldn't be modded.' So yes, as I said the other day dream big.

I have considered hard-coded enemies in the past and how to manipulate the remaining space to activate them in an original way. However,  as mentioned that could be a more complex undertaking, and I may have more significant uses for that memory planned.

As correctly mentioned, While nothing lasts forever, that is not to say we don’t have a few final tricks up our sleeves.

Also, not directed at the above comment,

As the Project Lead, sponsor, and Author of the project, it is best that definitive statements or decorations about the coarse of the mod and what gameplay can and cannot be implemented be made with me being acknowledged as game planner, present and under my consent.

as I am the one who funded and created Digimon Link and own the gameplay logic and authorship rights via detailed and created charts and graphs.  discussing Digimon Link and possible gameplay directions or overall direction without my involvement and or not mentioning the gravity of my behind the scenes involvement is authorship erasure. so when discussing game request please have the courtesy to not omit that all decisions must be worked though me as well.

[trim pivot]

Before ultimately giving the green or red light.

Thank you

[edgy smelt]

Ok, see I, was afraid to be annoying to keep asking the same person,
-# sneaks a comment about being willing to pay for cross-roster battles or something

[trim pivot]

No, the whole message wasn't for. Sorry if you assumed so. The only part for you was about continuing to not take no for an answer and dreaming big. Plus taking smart action on top of it. As dreams without tactical planning is delusion.

Your comment above was right, if no was accepted as the first answer Digimon Link would not exsist today. That's why I want people to absorb that and to ultimately learn from that as well.

You're fine; you asked a question, not directed at anyone, and answers were being provided without consideration that this is a collaboration where two parties must answer as a team before giving definitive yes and no answers as to what will and will not be put into the game. Not doing so strips authorship of the sponsoring member, who is the Author of the project and who has methodically planned all the features and gameplay everyone is enjoying with very specific diagrams and blueprints to follow.. and gives the impression that they had no or little involvement in the final product and that the end result wasn't the product of said authors very specific vision and instructions on how to fulfill it. Which is a form of brand dilution.

This is a collaboration and I truly respect that it takes the equal effort of two very different skills from two talented tacticians in their own fields. That's why I always talk in the form of "We" and mention the others' contributions by name regularly. But it needs to be respected that I am the core driver of Digimon Link as the game planner, and room should be allowed for me to answer certain questions as the author of this project.

There are also certain ways I would like to answer certain questions for the project. Especially questions about potential gameplay and the overall outlook of the project that I funded and I am the author of , and without given that space to answer, I cannot do that. I hope one can understand, as I've tried to express this in diferent spaces before.

[crude reef]

It's been so long since I've fired up my bracelet to use it sp I forget. Does this have partner support in battles once health is low?

[trim pivot]

There are no support attacks

[edgy smelt]

since I'll be getting my new watch, roughly how strong are the odyssey battles?
Like +1/1/1, for example, I know this is a big question, and maybe cheating

i ask, because I hd adjust enemy stats manually for more challenge, so I migh tneed to revert them a bit xD

[trim pivot]

They're pretty strong and their strength progressively goes up with the stages.

You'll have to get a good amount of Power Trophies to beat the whole map

[empty gazelle]

Bosses and the random battles get pretty hard as you progress.

Getting the daily goal and grinding power trophies is a must if you want to complete odyssey.

[edgy smelt]

I like to pretend it's some kind of civil war, to explain why my factions are fighting themselves

Finally gotmy new Hero/ Real Monster going! I see CM traded in 10 backgrounds, I assume that's where all the space came from

[edgy smelt]

if I can ask, when I click Digimon, what is the pulse screen? Did it replace the mood meter?
I also noticed you managed to get the 4th wallpaper from the second dim to become accessible...
-# I assume battling the second dim would work somewhat like how you did that

[trim pivot]

Oh no, they really are in a Civil War. That's exactly what's happening.

Good catch, the 10 wallpapers were removed to provide the space for the Pendulum Ver.

Yes, the Pulse Meter is the new Mood Meter.

[edgy smelt]

Ahh, the Pendulum, that makes sense!
I also noticed, it uses the blue background during things that used to use the set background, like during the evolution pulse - I do prefer being able to see my own background during that, but it's so small a change I shouldn't have even noticed it LOL

[modest nymph]

Ok sería para una versión 2.5?

[trim pivot]

Yes, an update that will have some surprises.

[edgy smelt]

the wallpapers actually take up a goofy amount of space compared to the rest of the sheets, is what I've been told

-# Because you told me not to take no for an answer, I'm gonna keep appearing here with pitches;
Since the pendulum took up a lot of space it seems, asking to eat the "10 wallpapers"(not 10 exactly, but I keep saying 10), swapping the pendulum out for another gimmick would make some space right?

1.So, you mentioned, maybe a second game mode being needed to do cross-dim battle,
To me this makes sense, what if the second mode is locked unless a second dim is loaded, in which case, during Capsule storage, it pre-loads that Dims enemy roster into the second version of adv/Odyssey (which then you can access), and it simply rotates the two rosters for a bit of diversity in battle

Not sure if the firewall/nft battles are worth addressing, but maybe just having it do a coin flip on if it's gonna run off the active dim, or stored one, then call the slot would work out,

2. On installation, it asks you to load a Dim, then you select a small handful of the monsters from it - however many we can fit - are saved in what I'll nickname a "capsule zero", that stores the enemy information/the sprites, and perhaps only a select few from the dim - for example, maybe it saves battles 1, 5, 10, 15(?) and sorts them into adv/odyssey and the nft/firewall as see fit

Sorry this ended up being super long, and sorry if I left anything out, if I did, I will remember it as soon as I wake up!

(as two separate proposals)

[trim pivot]

Lol, no problem. Long messages don't threaten me. I'm like Johnny 5, I just absorb it like input 🤖

Awesome brain storming 🔥 This is a commissioned work and I'm working off a specific vision I have so I can't say they will be committed to but I will consider them based on resources and my goals.

The Pendulum function itself doesn't take up that much space, although on a side note, it was one of the most advanced reverse engineering applications as the battle logic system is rather complex to break into.

As you correctly observed above, The biggest consumption is the graphics needed for certain functions.

Thus why, if you wanted to enter in hard coded characters into the game just to serve for battles, simply adding in the normal and attack sprites alone would take up space.

Good news, based on your request, having Digimon appear from both DIMs in Odyssey ( Adventure mode) , is do able, I've considered it and it has been requested before.

Like I said I can't commit because this is all being worked on with a budget and time but I will consider it.

[edgy smelt]

I'm willing to put in a donation for duel-sided Odyssey, just let me know

As for making space, in hard code/capsule zero, I guess that's why I was suggesting only a select few are chosen to be saved (such as Battle 1, 5, 10, 15)

[trim pivot]

That is an incredibly kind offer and I appreciate the will to contribute.

That's not necessary though, I created this to be a shared experience and the only request I have for people who play Digimon Link, is to have fun and to be kind to themselves and each other.

I appreciate the brainstorming and the enthusiasm you’re bringing to the Odyssey. We'll look into applying Digimon from both DIMs in encounter Odyssey battles 🙂

[trim pivot]

Just notice I didn't address about adding 4 original in game opponents.

Your idea of hard coded enemies isn't impossible. Especially if you were working with a fresh VH that had all it's space available. But for this specific situation with the space Digimon Link has left

While hard coding 4 new custom made Digimon solely for battle, would be less intensive than putting in 15 all new enemies, it still would require 12 hard-coded sprites (Idle, Run and Attack sprite for all 4 new Digimon). As mentioned in my overview, on this system,

Then you would need a special splash sprite for their special attacks. You could get away with just using 1 splash sprite if you used a generic splash sprite for all hard coded enemies to share.

That would be a huge hit to the memory budget for what's left in Digimon Link's system.

I'm not going in this direction, but hypothetically, if I was to think of a technical work around to place an in game enemy ( not necessarily in Odyssey mode ) , at most it would have to be 1 new character ( 3 sprites ) + a Splash Sprite, and I would have to delete a handful of other assets to compensate.

[edgy smelt]

One Splash is so some 5D level suggestion, not gonna lie!

I figured we would need to drop a lot of things to do it,
I think that's what my rambles in the introduction were about - it would be some sort of side build a gimmick, like the Digivice version,
the hard coded enemies one, that is
-# Personally, I never owned a Pendulum, or had a digivice toy with any mini-games, so I don't imagine I'm the only person willing to trade those for a different Ver gimmick

[edgy smelt]

Wait, lmfao,
Me (and my Dokunemon) are just now strong enough to maybe try an odyssey stage,
why did it ask me if I want to explore renamon?~~ Is my cross-dim request already included?~~ Or is it just the background! That would make sens eif it was just a background swap- I guess I'll find out a couple steps (...ellipses)

[eager harbor]

@edgy smelt has leveled up! (5 ➜ 6)

[edgy smelt]

WOW,t hat's Renamon o_o

Cross-dim is included already, now I feel embarrassed, but also delighted

Why didn't you just tell me "I did that"? xDD

It's not One Big Odyssey or that hard coded Rival, but it's close enough/dang right awesome!! Thank you so much! Forget all my requests, they're redundant with what you've already got! 🙂 I just needed to get a new watch and try ver2 is all. oops! I just load a dim full of bad guys I wanna fight now :3

-# and now i just swinged twice in a row, get dunked kyubimon
all thes vaccines tho, we're bound to have a hard time soon ._.
~but I'm just impossible to satisfy; ~~
-# I sure wish a Digivice Ver 2, using the Ver2 Odyssey was a thing... unless it is, and the bin file in that zip is different from the old one? Being able to clear every dim I own with a Partner Digimon would be so cool...then again, I guess I could just rig the evo requirements to take ages!

@trim pivot what is the vs Dim issue? Does it work okay in real monster ver?

[trim pivot]

The VS Dim battles are functional in Real Digital Monster, Just the HP bonus fron Power Trophies wasn't added to the VS DIM logic so Digimon can 1 hit KO each other easily with Power Trophies.

We're working on adding the HP bonus, and it will be added to the VS DIM logic.

[orchid ember]

Also, I wanted to make sure I understood the instructions for installation. I put the DIM loaded with the real monster bin and as the install goes onto the VH it makes a back up on the VS DIM I used to install the real monster.

So then when 2.5 drops how will I upgrade AND will the device be wiped when I do, so any Digimon will need to be uploaded to VB arena

[untold wagon]

the device is wiped, correct.

you need to restore from your initial installation backup to stock firmware, then reinstall the new version from scratch 🙂

[edgy smelt]

I believe how it works is, when you inserted the first mod, it asked to do a back up - you'll reinsert it, to use the Vs Dim to revert back to the stock?

then do the new mod

[orchid ember]

So the simplest thing to do is have a dedicated VS DIM for my device that is nothing else.

[ocean ocean]

yes

what version of the training gear do y’all use? i did real digital monster but my first renamon died real quick xD

my friend did digivice but im torn

[indigo fulcrum]

Hello. I have a couple question about the Real Digital Monster ver. First, does this mod affect the locked evolutions in adventure mode? And second, how does the praise and scold system, it's like a Tamagotchi when you wait for an alert to use it?

[trim pivot]

Hi, No changes to the locked evolutions.

You don't wait for an alert like Tamagotchi for praise and scold, but rather use them strategically based on the situation. Like, if your Digimon Lost a battle and lost mood and VP. You may want to use praise to help the poor Mon to recover.

Or if you gained too much VP for an evolution, you may want to scold to slow them down and help them reach that lower tier evolution.

Like Tamagotchi, if you, don't keep an eye your Digimon's mood before taking action and abuse the system, then things will happen, and then you will be prompted to take action to remedy the situation.

[trim pivot]

Renamon will be remembered

Real Digital Monster is the most brutal. I designed it so mood drops quickly if you don’t hit the 2-hour step goals, and if you don’t feed, train, or walk to recover it, injuries can stack up fast. Checking in every couple hours and giving your Digimon a quick snack now and then (if you aren’t walking often) will go a long way.

If you want more of a V-Pet feel but with less severity, I made Digital Monster Ver. more forgiving. You’ll still lose mood from things like missed steps or sleep timing, but it’s less harsh.

Digivice Ver. is closer to a pedometer-style Digivice or the stock VB than a V-Pet, as deaths are very rare and little to no care is needed.

[ocean ocean]

thank you! Renamon Jr did a lot better yesterday! but i have a desk job sooo i’ll prolly dial down to the Digital Monster ver soon xD you’re awesome

Hi should I update?

And 1 question my digimon got cocky is there anything I can do to restore it? I have 2 digimon that got cocky and when it got cocky the attack always misses and I lost the battle and the cocky icon is gone but is there other way to restore it other than losing battle?

[trim pivot]

No need to update, The release on Github is 1.5

So you have unruly Digimon I see? You may want to lay down the law with a healthy scold. Just prepare..the poor mon may lose some extra VP from the trauma

[lavish schooner]

Now I understand thank you for the explanation

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @trim pivot (current: #23 - 98)

[orchid ember]

Just a suggestion for ver 2.5. Maybe manual sleep for digital monster and real digital monster. Just for those who might have to walk away for a bit during the day.

[trim pivot]

You can put Digimon to sleep manually in those two Vers and Digivice.

In Real Digital Monster the Digimon will automatically wake up after awhile, if you put them to sleep when they aren't sleepy however, so keep watch

[carmine flax]

I'm going to assume editing the bin file of the patch is not easy?

[edgy smelt]

I made the mistake of not backing my stuff up properly. Now I basically have two Heros stuck in prototype TGLink forms

[trim pivot]

I funded and architected this project, and I’m happy to be sharing the experience with the community. Like all my works, I view Digimon Link as another one of my unique artistic expressions, a specific blend of my personal illustration work and my original gameplay logic, featuring many loops that have never been done before, represented in-game via my specific instructions, blue prints and diagrams.

To keep that experience intact and unique, my policy is against the editing, selling, or distribution of these files. I’m happy to encourage others to mod and release their own VHs from scratch, but Link is meant to be a special experience. Thank you for understanding.

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @carmine flax (current: #790 - 1)

[edgy smelt]

What about for educational purposes, is my only comment, like,
Rather, I supposed, maybe J0b710 should be asking
"How did you go about editing the bin? What tools can I use to start editing my own Bin?" not the TGLink bin in particular

-# I'd eventually end up asking these questions anyway, as I'd love to express myself, basically sounds correct, so thank you for that wording!

[trim pivot]

Exactly well put. For learning, which I encourage as much as I encourage respecting someone's boundaries and an artist's decision about their shared art.

#modding_vpets would be the best place to start if someone wanted to learn how to edit the stock VH to venture into their own original creation.

[carmine flax]

Sorry if I overstep totally understand. I love the project been using it for a while. I just wish you could like completely remove some features maybe with a toggle. I wouldn't expect you or anyone else to want to spend time doing a random guy on the Internets request. Sorry for any perceived I'll will.

[trim pivot]

I really respect that you didn't take it personally,
understood and appreciated the work.

No offense taken. DM me about your toggle request, and I’ll see if it fits within the scope and my direction of the project, and if so, I'll run it by Cyanic for implementation.

[orchid ember]

@trim pivot I see in this picture there is digimon link pendulum package 1.5 AND training gear digimon link pendulum ver 2
Are these the same mod just newer versions?

[trim pivot]

They are the same Pendulum 1.5 mods.

One was the name from the package back when I was hosting it on Google Drive.

The other, that I recently released on Github is the overall Version name which is just Ver. 2 Pendulum.

[red vine]

Hey so I just started the mod and the DimTool says "Invalid or no DIMcard found!" and I checked the wiring 3 times so I don't think it's that, can somebody help?

[empty gazelle]

Probably a more generic #modding_vpets question. Doesn't seem related to the mod.

[red vine]

Oh ok thanks!

[short hearth]

Hi, is there anyway to know which version is flash to the device?

[trim pivot]

You can tell the version flashed by observing the gameplay behavior.

Real Digital Monster: If the Digimon naturally wake up and go to sleep on thier own.

Digital Monster: Digimon don't do either the above or below behaviors.

Digivice: If the Digimon reverts to child/rookie at midnight.

[short hearth]

Oh ok, I was using digivice and was holding A at the digimon that I wanted to evolve instead of the current digimon therefore not working

[short hearth]

Hi, do I just flash to other version according or do I have to restore the stock bin first?

[trim pivot]

You have to restore to stock before flashing

[eager harbor]

@trim pivot has leveled up! (14 ➜ 15)

[vast trout]

i thought the splash screen while booting showed the current version

at least, i think my ver. digivice showed just that

[trim pivot]

It shows the Ver. with the installation splash screen but past that there's no in game indicators outside of the behaviors.

[short hearth]

Thanks

this really improved my experience with the Vital Hero. I had 3 that I purchased on clearance and I was very underwhelmed but this mod is much closer to what I hoped for. Now if I could just find one of those VB digipet cases for sale this would be perfect for me!

Thanks for all the hard work making the Vital Bracelet a better product!

[short hearth]

Hi auto sleep means do I have to press both a+b ?

[remote mauve]

Yes. When you see "Z" above your Digimon's head, hold both A + B buttons down to put them to sleep.

[short hearth]

Oh ok thanks, I thought for real digimon version auto sleep meant no need to put them to sleep

[trim pivot]

In Real Digital Monster, they will go to sleep on their own after a period of time. However, not sending them to the sleep room by pressing A+B before they fall asleep will be a care mistake and your poor monster won't heal correctly and be unhappy in the morning.

[short hearth]

Do you mean I need to press A+B before the "Zz" comes out?

[trim pivot]

No, the Zz are your guide that your Digimon is sleepy and ready to be put to bed. It's after that time you must tuck them in before they fall asleep on there own.

If you put them to sleep with A+B on real Digital Monster before they are sleepy with Zz, they will take a nap for awhile and wake up again on thier own.

[short hearth]

Alright, thanks for the confirmation 😁

[elder ore]

Henllo @trim pivot , I just learnt about your mod and I’m totally in love with it, your project is amazing (and everything I wanted the VB to be, for real)! I recently got me a BE as bday gift (before knowing about your project) and would like to ask if you plan on expanding your mod to VBBE anytime soon, because if not, I’ll probably get a VH for my collection asap haha.

[trim pivot]

I'm so glad you are enjoying Digimon Link and appreciating the work we put into it. No plans for porting to any devices outside of the Digimon VH it was made for. My focus is on continuing to add quality to the mod on the platform Digimon Link originated on, The VH and loyalty to those who got a VH specifically for this mod by focusing on making their experience continually better instead of spreading resources via ports. ( resources which can be used on potential updates )

Also on a side note,

As, I mentioned above, I'm not going this route but hypothetically we could put Digimon Link on all the original VBs. However porting to the BE is impossible as the BE doesn't have enough modding space left. Digimon Link is possible by using all the empty space the original VB's weren't using, Memory which the BE spent up via it's extra 3 character and Digimon storage slots.

[elder ore]

Oh, thanks for answering so quickly, you are very kind!
Hmm, got it, so I’ll definitely get a VH, your mod really made my heart flutter, and I plan to try it as soon as possible. I’ll keep an eye on your updates, can’t wait to try it myself 🥰

[orchid ember]

Now what we need to work on is a case mod that makes the VH nice and slim so it can still be worn

[lavish schooner]

Putting digimon link on original and V would be great I have 5 of it and didn't use it because vh has the patch. I hope the other device get a chance

How do I set it to the sedentary mode, or is it already set to that

[trim pivot]

You're all set. You don't lose any mood or vitals for not wearing Digimon Link. The HRM's effects have been nullified.

If you are playing Real Digital Monster and Digital Monster you will lose mood and risk injury if it goes down too low from not meeting your Digimon's step requirements, for those instances you can feet meat to restore mood if you aren't walking

You have to restore with the DIM you frist used to mod it. Assuming you didn't use it for anything else

[severe elbow]

So I read that you encourage suggestions and Brainstorming ❤️
So I was thinking, do you have any plans for Random Encounters?
I've just got a Digimon x Godzilla, and the random encounters are pretty awesome.

[trim pivot]

Home screen encounters are really fun, I’ve considered that before, specifically an original, hard coded enemy appearing on the home screen as an event,

like the Impmon events on the original D-Ark and the DMX events. However, because of space, hard coded enimes aren't a priority especially since you can already experience random encounter battles in the Pendulum Ver's Odyssey mode.

I enjoy the random encounters being in Odyssey Mode as well, as it provides an incentive to go on adventures via walking or jogging.

If walking isn't understandably on the table, one can go into Odyssey mode, place Digimon Link on the desk and wait for Digimon to come forth and challenge you

[indigo fulcrum]

Hello, I have been enjoying the Real Digital Monster version or the Digimon Link, I love how I can care for the Digimon in the Bracelet while maintaining the exercise aspect for the evolution, but it also caught my attention the temporary evolution aspect of the Ver: Digivice, my question is, it could be possible to have a v-pets focused version with the temporary evolution aspect or that will be only available for the Ver: Digivice?

[trim pivot]

You may be in for a surprise

[trim pivot]

It's in the kitchen.

My blueprints, art and assets are locked in and on the reverse engineering side he has implemented my core loops.

I'm currently auditing the build to iron out the final logic kinks for him to resolve and fine tuning some things for the best end player experience before I give the update the green light.

[crude reef]

Gonna be grabbing my new bracelet tomorrow. I appreciate there's lots that goes into this project and I dont wanna rush you. But could I ask roughly when youre looking to release the new update? Will it be this week or next? Just so I can think about upgrading. Thanks

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @trim pivot (current: #22 - 101)

[trim pivot]

I understand and I'm stoked you're stoked.

We're putting in overtime to see this through. So not to far in the future.

If you would like to play before then. After you install, If you keep the restore on the DIM card and don't rewrite over it, combined with storing it on the computer as secondary protection, you will be fully protected from lock out.

Important. Don't rely on storing on the computer and then writing over the DIM as the primary save, as someone saved their file on the computer then wrote over their dim thinking they were safe once and the restore got corrupted somehow during the programmer transfer to the computer.

Not writing over the DIM card and placing that dim card safely with your other DIMS is the #1 priority way to keep your restore safe. I've had to Uninstaller and reinstall Digimon Link hundreds of times during testing and I've never been locked out by just simply not writing over the restore dim once the restore it placed on there.

[crude reef]

I appreciate the response and advice. I think ill wait a couple days and start the new bracelet nice and fresh with the new update. I know you guys work hella hard to put out your work and its always top quality, so I know its worth the wait

[vast trout]

...oh heck, there's more coming soon?

[vast trout]

goodness

[shadow bay]

So can I restore the device with the same Digimon Link 2.0 DIM that I installed earlier? After restoring the system, can I flash .bin with the new update that will be available, after which I install it in VH?

Because my DIM with Digimon Link 2.0 is reserved separately, without any additional flash bin

[trim pivot]

Yes, that's the right way. Not writing over the Restore dim, placing it to the side and reserving it until the time needed to restore Digimon Link back to a Vital Hero is the official and recommended procedure.

[crude reef]

I never use my VS dim so can I use that as the backup?

[trim pivot]

You absolutely can VS DIMS work just fine

[real hedge]

hey yall, mr.blinky's website is down. does anybody have a copy of the dimcard tool?

[tough wagon]

I found this project through a Reddit link, but I'm having trouble reading through all the posts. Does Vital Hero need a hard mod to install this? I saw a video on Reddit showing the new features in the latest patch, but I couldn't find it either. Do you have it?

[hot terrace]

I may be cooked for some reason the dim card I had my fw on doesnt work now and I must have forgotten to back it up too

[hot terrace]

You do not need a hardware mod! You just need a computer, an IC flashing tool, and a computer

[tough wagon]

Thanks, is there a tutorial I could watch? While the procedure seems easy, I'm unsure if this mod is the one from the video I saw on Reddit, and I still need to buy the Vital Hero mod.

[trim pivot]

On the Github, in the assets of the releases there's a folder named "Programmer Guide" in that folder there's tutorials for the programmer and a link to Dtathemes YouTube video going over the installation process.

[dense forge]

how do i gain vitals

i know that its happening so im doing something right but im not sure what

[hot terrace]

Same as normal, its from a combination of step counts and heart rate

[dense forge]

i thought heart rate was turned off

[hot terrace]

Thats probably right I've been moved to vital wear for a while, maybe its just steps instead

Or steps and mood

[dense forge]

how do i mess with mood

[trim pivot]

Steps gain via vitals and positive the heart rate readings as before.

The Heart rate monitor's benefits still apply, just all the penalties and drain have been negated. Thus why you don't have to apply the tape hack, or worry about it as it's effects are no longer noticeable in game.

If you have Pendulum Ver. You can do rep training to raise vitals specifically.

For mood, for the latest version you can meet step requirements to raise it, feed meat or use the praise function. Scold lowers mood.

What does this icon mean?

[halcyon kettle]

Idk if this thing is too much for my flabby arm but I seem to "miss" the pendulum every time I do it

I only installed this yesterday (love it BTW) so I'm still getting used to it but my agumon still won his two fights despite "miss" ing the pendulum count

[crude reef]

Each digimon type (lazy, indoor, stoic etc) has a certain number you need to hit for each of its 2 special moves. The number will always be the same for that type, regardless of the digimon or Dim its from. Theres an option in training called Pendulum where you can practice to find the right numbers for your digimon

[halcyon kettle]

If 49 wasn't enough for agumon I dread to think what it'll be when he evolves

Thanks tho appreciate the help

[crude reef]

thats waaaay too many. I'm pretty sure they all fall between 0 - 20 , so start lower and work your way higher

[halcyon kettle]

Oh you can overshoot it?

[crude reef]

yup, im pretty sure you can go to 99 before it stops.

[halcyon kettle]

This isn't criticism just trying to figure out exactly what to do. I need to test it with the pendulum feature in training increasing the shake count by small increments each time but never exceeding 20 and it will eventually tell me when I get the right number of shakes?

[crude reef]

yup, so you go to train, select pendulum, it'll start the countdown like the start of a fight then you start your shakes. Hit the button when you think you're on the right number and if its correct it'll display Terra or Mega, if not it'll Miss. The Mega attack is always higher than Terra, so if you hit that one then you know to try a lower number for the Terra attack. It might be worth jotting down your Digimons nature , that way when you hit the move you can make a note of it. As every mon with that nature will have the same number requirement, so you wont have to go through all the trial and error next time

[pale vortex]

My bad

[trim pivot]

Lol, This weekend, we actually just cracked through one of the most frustrating logic bugs in Digimon Link development to date. We've officially hit the downhill slope.

To be honest, this latest version has had the most quirks to work through. While that sounds intense, it's actually a great sign. Every new Ver in Digimon Link’s evolution has come with its own set of 'development oddities' that we had to overcome before final release.

The more the system fights back during test builds, the more we know we're pushing the firmware into territory it was never meant to go.

So by that, this looks to be a significant update and it will be here sooner than later

[crude reef]

Thats amazing. I haven't got the slightest idea how you guys do what you do, and the way you get the devices to operate and run in ways it wasn't intended is amazing.

This is the one I purchased and use. Been perfect for me. Might struggle with shipping depending where you live. Otherwise I've been advised that buying the parts and self assembly is pretty straight forward with the guides available

[timid ginkgo]

I have this one as well ! Wasn't that much expensive than buying all the parts to build one, too. It works just fine, you just plug it and follow mrinky's guide it's super easy

[orchid ember]

I was the same as you, but since they can’t really be bought pre made I took a leap and bought the parts and put it together myself. It was pretty easy!

[narrow sage]

Think the only hard part is soldering if you didn't buy a chip already soldered, I ended up having to do it myself. which thankfully I have a steady hand to do it. XD

[sharp tapir]

Ok, wow! I just found out about this mod, and it looks like everything I've been looking for. I mean, more than just exercising to take care of your digimon AND the feature to revert back to Rookie/Child just like the shows! That's awesome! I do however have a couple questions on the specifics and to make sure I understand everything this has to offer. 1)This is just for the American release of the Vital HERO, right? Like one from Walmart/Target/ Amazon? I have both the original vital bracelet and the Digivice -V-, but I'm guessing this won't work for those, right? 2)Is there a guide on how to actually apply/install the mod? I'm not the best with fully written instructions and the only video I can find is a poor quality one only kind of explaining how. I just wanna be able to apply it without completely F-ing it up, lol. 3)Does this mod also support custom DIM's/Digimon. I've been considering commissioning one of my custom partner, and having it with the combined features of this mod would be amazing!

First question: yes it has to be the vital hero, and it has to be one of the Digimon ones.
Second question: yes and we can all help. You will need to buy some parts to make a DIM programmer if you don’t have one.
Third question: Yes custom Digimon work and are encouraged.

@pure ferry and @sharp tapir I am happy to share the links of what I bought off Amazon if you want to make your own programmer. Very easy, no soldering. It may have cost me $25 max total.

Color me intrigued

Here's a video guide on setting up the programmer, I haven't watched it so not sure on what steps are included, but it should give you an idea

I posted in the modding channel but I think theres more documentation on the vital series specifically
I am designing a shell in cad for the vh
I want to slim it down by bypassing the heart sensor, and removing it entirely
The conclusion seems to be that it wont cause problems with link but Id lose out on the bonus
Is there any way to send a false positive?

[trim pivot]

You'll be fine If you're playing Digimon Link, you won't really miss out on the subtle VP and mood gain from the heart rate monitor by removing it fully.

I designed the logic in Digimon Link so that both the bonuses and penalties of the heart rate monitor are negligible. The HRM is still functioning but it's now just along for the ride.

You get the most significant bonuses and penalties by interacting with the new and original game loops and mechanics weaved into the game.

Only area you may see a slim difference is in doing the Reps ( hard missions ) as a small portion of the algorithm on whether you get +1 or +2 Trophies is based in the HRM reading.

Even though the readings are terrible and most people get low inaccurate readings anyways, if it doesn't pick up on any readings and registers as 65/65 , because you removed it entirely, it may subtly effect the training judgement score. As it overall calculates the heart rate reading + amount of shakes ( beeps when exercising )

I wanted to put that disclaimer in, as I value honesty but not to be too nuanced, but, I believe even if you do take out the HRM , you may still be able to get +2 trophies if you exercise precisely and get enough beeps or shake it enough times. It's why most people can still get +2 results even when the HRM is being lousy and gives a low reading.

I keep checking every hour hahahahha

[quartz imp]

Thanks for the reply
Great mod
Just wondered if people knew enough about the way the hrm is wired to short the data contacts or send it through a resistor to just say you done it perf every time

[trim pivot]

Glad you appreciate Digimon Link and your goal to make a slimmer case is awesome as well, look forward to seeing the end result.

As for the specifics of the inteal hardware, you would have better results in the modding thread as deep hardware manipulating is off topic of Digimon Link and it's support + you'll ultimately find more precise technical hardware help in the modding thread.

[orchid ember]

Please keep me updated on this! I was hoping to do this also. But I am not skilled at CAD and don’t have a 3d printer. I would love to see two versions, a pocket one and a nice wrist slim one, so I could still wear it. U
But yes Sans the HRM.

[pure ferry]

my apologies for the late response, this was greatly appreciated

[pure ferry]

Just saved the video, thanks!

[round idol]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @crude reef (current: #409 - 4)

[severe elbow]

I'm here still checking every hour or so hahahahahhaa

[native sorrel]

meeee tooo the anticipation and excitement is killing me but im sure something borked or something. i know theyll say something when they can.

[summer veldt]

I have a question

Does the mod not work for the Japanese version of VB?

[remote mauve]

No. It only works for the Digimon version of Vital Hero.

[summer veldt]

Ok

[crude reef]

Are we close to the new release?

[trim pivot]

Incredibly close, Ironically after reporting my last update, that said we overcame a massive bug over the weekend, two more significant firmware oddities came into play that we had to work though. I had to come up with some creative work arounds and I'm happy to say an issue that was present since Ver. 2 Pendulum will no longer be present going forward. We've now worked out the major bugs and are making some last minute additions I know everyone will enjoy. I'm working on finishing the new manual and other release notes and soon

Fun will be had

[crude reef]

So happy to hear that, the waiting is killing me but I know its worth it. Excited is an understatement, thanks for the update!
