Looks like she did finally get her code dump, via voltage glitching: https://natashenka.ca/tamagotchi-friends-code-dump/#more-281
Here's a link to some slides I found online. https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/system... I've been hacking on an Apple ][ over the past few weeks. It runs on a 6502 processor. It's kind of mind-blowing to know that the thing used to run an entire PC was later used for pocket toys like the Tamagotchi a handful of years later. The speed at which technology has improved will never cease to amaze me.

fun fact, that SIM card in your phone has the same CPU :)

I did some Googling and I can't find anything on this, are you sure? Did you mean "it's roughly as capable as a 6502"?
The AI bots in the future will not like our callous disregard for the poor tamagochis
I recognized the presenter's name - Natalie Silvanovich - and sure enough, she's a member of Project Zero, and I've read posts by her before. I guess Tamagochis were her gateway drug into reversing!
I wonder how small a 6502 or Z80 CPU would be if fabbed on 3nm TSM processes node. Would it be visible with the naked eye?
Does anyone know what the most advanced node a 6502 or Z80 CPU (or 8051 micro) has actually been fabbed on?

Z8400 series (still manufactured) are 1500nm process.
Though, I will say that I'm amazed that anyone is still mass producing digital products on a 6" (if not smaller) wafer using a node that was invented in the mid 1970s (300 mm wafers are the current standard with the next proposed step being 450 mm). I mention digital because a lot of analog gear (and I think some MEMS) is fabbed using what most of us would consider ancient process nodes.

The 8051 is so commonly embedded deep in other ICs that it has very likely been produced on much smaller nodes.
