The Tamagotchi probably did not use a 6502

[edit]

The Wikipedia page states that the Tamagotchi used a 6502 and links to someones blogpost claiming it uses a 6502 with no evidence. Many pages, such as http://tama.loociano.com/, claims the original Tamagotchi uses a CMOS E0C6S46, which is more likely given its specs with, among other things, a controller for a LCD.

The original Tamagotchi (P1) used E0C6S46, but a later version ("Tama-Go"?) used a 6502-derived GPLB5X processor. [1] [2] Krótki (talk) 09:22, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

74158

[edit]

"Peddle suggested that anyone that actually required this style of access could implement it with a single 74158." I don't see how that would work with just one, the 74158 is a quad 2-input mux, the bus is 16 bit. The source doesn't say "single" either, just "a".

Yes it looks like you need four of them. More usual would be tristate buffers like the 74367, but the MUX are fine, too. Many of the early chips, and I didn't look up this one, could barely drive one TTL gate. Gah4 (talk) 21:05, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
