The Center Card - Tamagotchi Smart Complete English Patch - 16MB

UPDATE MAY 2025: 100% complete English patch v1.1 is now available!

The Center Card design has been refined and is now available in purple!

Since 2023, Tamagotchi Center has been the designer and producer of the smart card hardware, and the primary distributor of the freely available community English patch to the wider community. The smart card is offered pre-loaded with the 100% complete English patch, which can be downloaded by anyone for free here, purely for user convenience.

Compatible with all Smart models: Coral, Mint, 25th Anniversary White, NiziU, One Piece, Sanrio, and Anniversary Purple.

The English patch is now 100% complete, all the Japanese text has been translated by Studded and his team. The remaining 'Listen' / 'Speak' features, and some image and font adjustments have been made by: Ami, caffeinated.cake, curlour, Cyanic, Dani Dandelion, DeviMikachu, Konky, Makorie, SG, and Teallen. Full credits can be found here.

Reuse it to make your own TamaSma or DIM cards thanks to the FlashMate. It's also future-ready, if any update of the English patch is released, flash it using the FlashMate and its companion web app!

Professional-grade design: engineered with gold-plated contacts for excellent conductivity, high-reliability connections, wear resistance, and oxidation protection.

• Charge your device for 2 hours and keep the USB cable plugged in throughout the whole procedure.
  Do not touch any part of the card while the patching is in progress.
• Ensure the card is not inserted yet, and turn on the Smart.
• Insert the card and hit the reset button to start the process.
  Press the reset button only one time. Do not remove the card while the patching is in progress.
• The screen will turn completely white for 2 minutes and then switch off, indicating the procedure is complete.
  Do not remove the card prematurely. Do not press any button. Wait patiently.
• Once the screen has turned off, remove the card.
• With the card removed, press and hold the middle button for 10 seconds to turn the device back on.

The 'Listen' and 'Speak' close-up interactions were the final 1% of the translation, initially thought to be technically impossible to achieve. However, SG's technical team has successfully completed this last part, bringing the translation to 100%. General translations have been revised after two years of user beta testing, and the alphabetical characters have been redrawn for improved consistency.
