Two Tamagotchi Paradise They are no longer just virtual pets. The Reddit Markivino user published in the last days photos and videos of two very personalized units that execute Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver, and that can also exchange creatures by connecting with each other. The detail is funny because the device arrived on the market in 2025 without any promise of this type.
The games, according to Markivino himself, are really playable and not a simple demonstration. The key is in the communication port of the device: By linking the two consoles, the exchange works as you would expect from a Game Boy Color cartridge.
Tamagotchi Paradise: A Modding scene that already had history
None of this comes out of nowhere. Tamagotchi’s community has been publishing custom cases, antique models emulated in contemporary devices, and custom characters, backgrounds, objects and accessories in the dedicated subreddit. Paradise joined that tradition with a surprising ease in accepting changes.
Another user, U/Ducbrush, showed a Paradise in White Glacier finishing Tamagotchi for Game Boy, a choice that fits much better with the screen and pot controls. And it is not the roof: in that same circle the device has been seen moving Doom.
Adapters, ROMs and tools to login
The technical path is well documented by the community itself. The Maker Squalius designed a UART adapter with a CH340G module and a 3D printed case with three metal contacts that reach the Tamagotchi connection interface, without having to open the device. You have to set it to 3.3V so as not to damage the board.
With this type of bridge, the possibilities range from sending gifts and personalized objects to simulating connections between several Paradise or supporting the games on a computer. ROM modifications allow own sprites, new mini-games and emulators.
Other adapters also circulate, such as PCOM and Patchi Paradise —the latter with problems leaving the European Union due to German import and export restrictions—, in addition to desktop tools such as Paramix Studio or Tamahome, which ask for a UART dongle and a Chrome browser or EDGE.
What you earn and what you risk with modding
The less friendly face is that touching the firmware is not free. Community guides warn of loss of save data, leaving the device unusable and a higher battery consumption when other Tamagotchis are emulated. The Wave 1 models (Pink Land, Blue Ocean and Purple Sky) are the ones that best respond to the emulation of other colored Tamagotchi.
It is convenient to separate two things that are mixed in conversations: an external adapter is not the same as a deeply intervened console. There is no official confirmation or detail on the exact method that Markivino used, and it is also not clear if he resorted to a bridge through a serial port or something more aggressive.
A new reason to revalue the Tamagotchi Paradise
The model landed in 2025 with opinions divided among those who bought it. That capacity for modding, unexpected even for the veterans of the subreddit, gives the one who was cold with the launch A different reason to look at it again.
The rest of the tour depends on the users themselves: printed adapters at home, tools that are shared open and equipment that ends up doing things that nobody designed them for. The next will come from a thread, not a statement.
