Should I upgrade?
« on: October 29, 2013, 06:00:48 AM »

My son has the Ugobe dinosaur..  I think it has OS1.1 on it?  I only know this from the fact that it sings if you play with its chin and doesn't appear to do the dead trick....

I wondered if anyone can give me, a complete novice about these things, the pros and cons of upgrading it to the os2 please?

Hi, sukaber and welcome to the forums! Well, 1.1 is a nice OS. you don't have to upgrade unless you really just want the extra tricks. Just be sure when you download OS 2.0 that you grab the version for the Ugobe and not the RB. Your son's pleo will begin his life over again as a hatchling but it won't take him long to grow up again. Also, be sure that the SD card you use is two gig or less. Any more than that and I'm not sure your Ugobe will be able to support it. If you don't have an SD card, you can do it through USB but I've never done an upgrade that way and can't help you.
Oh and there is one more thing about 2.0 worth mentioning. The pleo will go through a brief period of... rather odd behavior. It will not respond to scensor touches and it will scream and cry and make lots of odd sounds in comparison to its body language. We affectionately call it the terrible teens here on the forum. Other than that the upgrade is nice and the extra tricks are cute. Good luck! Just post in pleo problems if you encounter any trouble.

Thankyou Talon.  How many more tricks does the new OS system support?  I'm wondering whether I should just leave well alone !

There are quite a few although several of them I've never seen in person so I don't know what they look like. IMR has a video somewhere on the forum of all the tricks. Whether or not you upgrade is up to you. Have fun!
I'll give you my notes below on the tricks from 2.0. The tricks do require a lot of finger and hand gymnastics so don't give up if your pleo doesn't perform as requested. Also you will most likely have to slog through the terrible teens before he will condescend to pay proper attention. Anyway here they are.
Play dead. Each of these scensor combinations must be held for at least three seconds.
Touch top of head, back and right foreleg.

Stand up and talk
Touch back and both forelegs.

Watchdog
Touch back, left foreleg and both rear legs.

Conversation? Not sure what this one does.
Touch back and left foreleg.

Wave
Touch top of head and both back scensors from shoulder to rump.

Red object tracking.
Take red object, put in front of pleo's nose no further than four or five inches away. Takes lots of time and patience- lots of patience. Eventually provided the red is the right shade and your lighting is bright enough, pleo will see it. You can move the object slowly from side to side and pleo will follow it with his head.
Anyone, if I've made any mistakes with the hand/scensor instructions please feel free to correct me. Good luck, Sukaber!
