Getting the Firmware of a VTech/LeapFrog LeapStart/Magibook

s is a very small blog post about my first reverse engineering project, in which I don't really reverse engineer anything yet, but I am just getting started! A family member asked me to add additional book data to the LeapStart he bought for his son, this is the starting point here. Overview of the device # The device is known as LeapFrog LeapStart in english and as VTech MagiBook in French (I'm from France so that's the version I have).

A family member asked me to add additional book data to the LeapStart he bought for his son, this is the starting point here.
