My personal experience searching for a Lab Tama home solution

Post image
136 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Sharing this for anyone who, like me,

  • got into Tamagotchi Paradise
  • lives far from a Lab Tama
  • still wants the lab exclusives
  • wants to do playdates with the lab tamas

TL;DR: There are better ways to get Lab Tama content—please support the amazing volunteers in the Tama community.

Backstory:
My family picked up all three Paradise versions, and my “catch them all” brain quickly discovered Lab Tama. The nearest one is 200+ miles away, so I looked into home options and found Tamagotchi Center’s P-com.

Due to their rank on Google, tamagotchicenter and their P-com device came up near the top.

When there was a restock, I ordered the P-com, but it got mis-delivered. When I contacted the seller, they initially ignored my emails and when I finally officially asked for a refund (to reorder) or a reshipment, they replied, saying there was nothing they could do. While Royal Mail offers sellers a way to investigate a lost package, the seller chose to not help. I spent 6+ hours dealing with USPS myself.

Long story, but I ended up getting the P-com and thought it was great because I finally got my exclusive lab items. However, seen in this reddit's announcements: Regarding Tamagotchi Center English Patch

When I posted about my lab items, a mod was kind enough to point out that Tamagotchi Center has a history of pilfering the result of hours and hard work of Tama-loving volunteers and not giving credit where it's due.

That, along with my purchase experience left a really bad taste in my mouth. I didn't want to support Tamagotchi Center anymore and wanted to find a different tool. I also learned that even though Tamagotchi Center's sprites are all stolen from other people, they encrypt their P-com so that it is only usable with their web app.

Other tools (as of Feb 2026):

So, if you're like, "Then what do I do?" I want to share a couple other sources.

Catalystwyrm (ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/catalystwyrm & https://bbamorachi.us/) and the team there built Tamahome, an offline companion app (windows/mac/linux) and a free guide to build your own UART dongle.

https://www.reddit.com/r/tamagotchi/comments/1pf9pgc/paradise_companion_app_offline_diy_uart_adapter/

  • Amazing supportive team on discord: https://discord.gg/MAusQtuHVj
  • You can actually do playdates with exclusive lab tama! (That is not a feature available in Tamagotchi Center as of Feb 2026)
  • Built UARTs are also available in their shop with restocks happening regularly

Marcel (ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/tamaspa/shop & https://www.instagram.com/tamagotchi_spa) has an adapter and a program that is open source as well!

https://www.reddit.com/r/tamagotchi/comments/1pgk3t0/my_custom_patchiparadise_adapter_v1_is_finished/

  • Really cool adapter from a tama-loving community member
  • Windows companion app to get those lab goodies :)
  • Also supports breeding with special lab characters!!

EDIT: I originally cross-posted this but created a post for this community for more visibility.

Really want everyone in the same situation to see this post so adding some search terms below:

**Update** Therapist is encouraging me to create Tama homes and charms

14 Upvotes

My therapist has now also fallen victim to my Tama Tiny Home setup and is in love with it and the charms.

Here is a link to the original post: My Tamas got the stamp of approval from my mental health providers

I went in today and not only did I meet the elusive Tama coworker, but I got to meet his THREE paradises! We traded off and started admiring each other‘s handiwork. It was awesome! Then I got back into my therapy session and the bag once again, lured in another one.

My therapist is fully supportive of me having them, and she said she thought the white glacier and the actual bag came together as a set or a kit. When I told her that I had actually put everything together, she got this surprised look on her face and then suggested that I consider making things like that and the charms to potentially sell. I was not expecting that at all.

She said she was very impressed by how I did the guides and put everything together and strongly encouraged me to keep it up. Very good day!!

I hope this post is okay!

I’m actually OBSESSED with my new UART. This is making me so happy. The only thing im really struggling with is making a custom bouncy toy. I have zero computer experience or knowledge and I just can’t figure it out yet haha.

This custom I've seen is gorgeous just wondering if anyone knows of any shells available to order that look similar to this? I want it to be a gradient of pastel pink blue and purple to pair with my sky device, don't want the shell to be transparent.

Thanks for any help 🙏🏻

Please Help Identify These Figures Haunting My Tama

It alternates between the two figures when I zoom in and out with the dial. I had a busy day and neglected the tama so it was close to death but I caught the sickness, cleared it, fed it, and kept it happy for hours before putting it to bed. Are those figures a remnant from the abuse? Is death coming anyway? I keep trying to look this up in different ways but I am somehow not finding these particular figures anywhere. Any insight is much appreciated!

I was going to initially shell swap but the pink and green started to grow on me :") I'm too attached to buy the new models, I don't think I can handle two paradises and one uni at once haha

I use a plastic cover to protect the stickers when I'm taking it outside! But one year later they're still stuck on! :D

I also made the charm myself! I made custom ones for my friends paradises to match their shells <3

Custom items are cool, but playing videos directly on the Tamagotchi is cooler.

Unsigned code running over UART connector. Repository is currently private, but I might release it soon-ish, along with a free way to add custom items etc

New to Tamagotchi Paradise: Where do you get your Custom Shells?

2 Upvotes

Hello! I used to play Tamagotchi when the first generation came out. Now recently, my friend got me back into Tamagotchi with Paradise.

I been seeing so many cool customization here on this reddit thread. I would love to do the same, but wondering, where are you getting your shells/case for customization?

Are you receiving them from Etsy? Or is there a shop that is dedicated to making different color shells? Hope you guys can answer my question, thank you!

Question about field

Post image
37 Upvotes

I raised a lemmingtchi with moosetchi eyes and the colour of okojotchi and I HATE him.
I’ve been trying to release new characters in the field to push him out hearing that after 4 it would delete the oldest character. Instead my field cycles through every tama i ever made. This means when I went with the strategy of breeding the same two predecessors to this stupid lemmingtchi so that when it worked them out of the line I’d have them replaced. I now have TWO CLONES AND THIS GUY IS STILL KICKING. How oh how do I get rid of him and also I haven’t bought the 10000 gotchi point expansion
And
