That's dope! Never knew what the guts of the PenC looked like. I modded the screen, buttons and shell of my Pen20th and accidentally ripped the speaker cords. Now my Digimon are silent protagonists 😂
I'm planning on releasing a video of my modded DM Color, any chance you'd be okay with me linking over to this video as an example of one of the places I used to help me figure it out? I wasn't sure how okay it was to share this sort of information out and didn't want to rub anyone the wrong way!
Some of them are the Original Backgrounds from the Digimon Version 1-5, others are unlocked by meeting certain requirements on the device. The final ones are the Pendulum Wave 2 backgrounds which implies we’ll be getting those in Color soon!
This is a tricky one. Dumps aren’t normally shared around because that would be piracy. You’ll probably have to sail the seas to a discord server or something to find one 🏴☠️
Do I need to take it apart inorder to install mods or can I just connect it to my computer threw the charging cable?trying to unlock slot 6 to get jellymon on my deep savers
In order to mod this device you will need to open it to access the chip on the front of the board unfortunately. Jellymon can be unlocked by battling any other PenC device, best to use an ACom if no one near you has a PenC
An ACom (Alpha Communicator) is a custom made device used to connect vpets through the internet. There’s plenty of info about them around online and some people even sell pre-made ones!
bro, ma nature spirits divice drope of off ma table, no a high fall and the fkng screen got these pixel line's on it now, not enjoyable to use. any idea's ? are these screens replaceable ?
A replacement screen is definitely possible… I’d say make sure the small ribbon cable connecting the screen to the board is connected properly. It could be that the drop caused the cable to dislodge. If you need to replace the screen, you need a TCXD011IBLON-3 LCD display. Where you can get one, however, I do not know. Hope this helps!
Mine has yet to arrive. I might toy around with it, but I'll need to see what I like and dislike about it first. Keep an eye out for my video on it, just in case 😉
A very good question! You can take the data from any device From the DMC1 to the PenC Zero and put it onto a different device. There was once a guy who put 2 devices onto one chip but you’re very limited by the memory size of the chip itself plus you’ll need to do some coding to be able to switch between version when you turn the device on. That’s all beyond my abilities 😅
@@NichiNoUchuu hmmm so it could be possible to clone and replace the chip. This is all just theories atm but I’d like to get my programmer friend to look into this with me (I’m much more of a hardware man). Love the video, keep em coming
Expert I am not, I just know enough to do my own silly little projects. Though I do appreciate the confidence! There are some good tutorials out there if you search for ‘ DMC Rom Modding’ which should help you start your journey!
@@NichiNoUchuu Thank you so much! Your video has been extremely informative and helpful! Now I just gotta figure out the reason why it’s not letting me run it 😂
@@NichiNoUchuuWell….. it turns out I was trying to use your line of commands when I didn’t have the same folders set up as you. This has been a learning experience for sure. I have spent countless amounts of hours trying to figure this out. I finally did thanks to you!!! Thank you for making this awesome video!!! You are amazing my friend!!!
Ew, spi ribbon cable display? Not getting one of these. The battery not being taped down is fine (preferred even, for repairability). If youve ever taken apart a cellphone the build principles are 100% the same across the board, theres nothing against industry standards about this device. Its crazy to me how incapable so many vpet owners are when it comes to modding tech. You showed how easy this is and people still out here dogging their own skills saying they cant do such a simple task. There is no easier first electronics project than modding a v pet, even making an arduino blink is more tedious and time consuming, so i dont see how its such a barrier to people.
I think it’s more that people aren’t necessarily confident enough to take apart a device that Bandai only create a limited amount of. If the devices were more readily available I’d absolutely recommend anyone who wants to get into modding, coding, or customisation as a whole to go with one of these or the DMC. But price point alone is enough to put people off, so I do understand both sides of the argument. Good to know that the battery being taped down is fine, I guess I was just expecting a slightly stronger adhesive for something that you’re meant to shake a lot 😅
@@NichiNoUchuu I'm even referring to the DM20 here. I just got mine last week and I've seen probably a few hundred comments across various mod videos of people proclaiming their fear to take their devices apart. In the few days I've had it, I've already drilled my case to boost the speaker, painted the case, swapped the background to a clear one to see the board underneath, soldered an LED to the speaker, I'm working on sourcing an EL panel display to add a backlight, and then soon I'm going to add a switch with a second oscillator to add an overclock feature. I'm genuinely bad with electronics and this is literally the second thing I've ever soldered and it's going great. Many Digimon fans didn't really learn the confidence the shows were trying to instill, I guess. Need more videos like this with comments telling everyone how easy and empowering it is to mod and repair your own tech.
@Atmatan_Kabbaher I do know what you mean, I see a lot of people who don’t want to open their devices out of fear of damaging the device, but there are hundreds of people in the community who do! If you’re looking in the right places, people are modding their devices left right and centre. Bandai are pretty strict on it so a lot of people aren’t public with it but it is happening. And some people just don’t want to stray from the vanilla experience, which is totally fine too. At the end of the day, people can enjoy their VPets and Digimon as a whole any way they like, we’re all Digidestined together 💜

That's awesome dude! I have 0 confidence in opening up a device so was really cool to see this. Thanks for doing it!
It’s what I do! Thank you for watching 💜
Absolutely fantastic work sir! Entertaining and informative. We should collab some time 😘
It would be an honour to collab with you! A dream come true
@@NichiNoUchuu a digital dream one might say…. Heh. 😈
That's dope! Never knew what the guts of the PenC looked like. I modded the screen, buttons and shell of my Pen20th and accidentally ripped the speaker cords. Now my Digimon are silent protagonists 😂
Yeah those speaker cables are fragile 😅. Overall the internals of this device are practically the same as the DMC with a metal rod in it.
Man, thanks for putting this video together! Spent a bunch of time nodding a DMC v2 today! It's in full English,m and almost completely custom mons!
I’m glad to hear my video helped you out! Enjoy your modded DMC!

@TheRealSimso You’re more than welcome to! I’m happy that I was able to help out 😁
You should definitely swap the frames and buttons from the Z and the colors !!!!! Big daddy wognog that would be sick 🔥
THE POOO! WHERE IS THE PINK POOPOO!? 😭
It is possible to unlock/insert all roosters from all waves? like the old pen mods
Not that I’m aware of, the chip is big enough for 2 rosters maybe but not all of them unfortunately
How does the eeprom connector work? They all seem to be in pieces on Amazon. What connects to what?
I recommend looking up “DMC Rom Modding”. There’s plenty of help to teach how the Reader works there!
7:51 what are does different backgrounds are there gonna be new digimon colors?
Some of them are the Original Backgrounds from the Digimon Version 1-5, others are unlocked by meeting certain requirements on the device. The final ones are the Pendulum Wave 2 backgrounds which implies we’ll be getting those in Color soon!
In th rigth of the version 1 background what background is that what voet it is? @@NichiNoUchuu
The ones immediately to the right of the Ver1 backgrounds is the desert from the Ver2
No but thank but is the island what background is that from I think is in the rigth @@UchuVA
@@UchuVA do you think there are gonna be new colors different tipe of vpet colors?
I want to completely change my Nature Spirits digivice to Virus Buster. Do you know where I can get a dump?

Are you doing this with the Digivice 25th Color? I would really like to mod it to make custom evolutions and charcters
Mine has yet to arrive. I might toy around with it, but I'll need to see what I like and dislike about it first. Keep an eye out for my video on it, just in case 😉
Is it possible to take data from the other pen c devices and have them on one device? Or are we limited to the rosters they launched with
A very good question! You can take the data from any device From the DMC1 to the PenC Zero and put it onto a different device.

@gorillakid364 Absolutely! It’s an interesting device and the coding is a peculiar one for sure. Thank you for watching!
Hey man! How can I reach you to ask you about the detail on how to do this? I have all the hardware, just need some expertise
Expert I am not, I just know enough to do my own silly little projects. Though I do appreciate the confidence! There are some good tutorials out there if you search for ‘ DMC Rom Modding’ which should help you start your journey!
(Probably a dumb question) Will the Sprite Tool be able to run on Windows 10, or is that too old?
No such thing as a dumb question! The sprite tool does work on Windows 10. Anything that can run a command prompt should do it!
@@NichiNoUchuu Thank you so much! Your video has been extremely informative and helpful! Now I just gotta figure out the reason why it’s not letting me run it 😂
You’ve got this! Remember to take a break if it’s not working right. Sometimes looking at it with a fresh pair of eyes helps a lot
@@NichiNoUchuu I got it to work! Thanks again for the info, love your vids!
Glad to hear it! Hope you enjoy your modded device 😁
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I’ve copied everything you did and cannot for the life of me get the .bin file to export.
I recommend searching for a video called 'DMC Rom Modding'. That video explains the process way better than I ever could! 😅
