Why this clinic exists

Keeping virtual pets alive.

These devices are aging. Batteries leak, contacts oxidize, LCDs fail, shells break, and hard-won knowledge disappears.

TamaMedics documents what we learn while devices can still be examined, repaired, dumped, photographed, and understood.

Community service record

Open clinic. Open research.

TamaMedics is built around open research and reproducible documentation: repair procedures, research notes, board documentation, tools, scripts, patches, deltas, and checksums—while respecting copyrighted firmware.

Careful methods.
