[@Cuyler]

Great overview of some of the more interesting bugs we've found in AC's codebase so far! I'd like to make a minor correction in regards to text commands being patched in Doubutsu no Mori e+. Doubutsu no Mori e+ actually has two versioned releases, 1.00 and 1.01. The check to verify a password's strings do not contain control code commands or message tag commands was not added until the 1.01 release. That means if you have an early copy of Doubutsu no Mori e+, you can execute the text commands just as you can in AC!

[@Hunter-R.]

Good distinction to make! I’m actually about to purchase a Japanese GameCube and a copy of DnM+/e+, so I’ll try and see if I can actually find a copy of both versions of e+… I’m assuming one is more common than the other, though.

[@Cuyler]

That's awesome, they're great games in their own right. If you're doing that you should know that Doubutsu no Mori+ also has two versions, also 1.00 and 1.01. The 1.01 actually introduced a few minor features and some bugfixes lol@@Hunter-R.

[@wlb277]

So is the decomp aiming to give us an unofficial PC version of AC once it's done? I hope so, would be nice to play it on PC without having to use an emulator.

[@Cuyler]

That’s a common question, the short answer is no. The more in depth answer is probably. The main goal of the decompilation project is to turn the game back into source code which compiles to an exact match of the official game. From there, things like PC ports become possible but require a ton of extra effort to achieve.

[@GMdieselman]

What is the easiest way to tell what version of Doubutsu no Mori you have? I actually have two copies of e+

I did not know about Anicotti's "bass", and that's actually hilarious. Having her in my village, it does feel like something she'd do, though. Most if not all of the e-Reader gifts were carried over from Dōbutsu no Mori+ passwords from scanning on the GBA and carried into e+. This feels like an English mistake so I'm going to check if it was a thing in either of those games. Update: Well, in DnM+ it was an actual bass instrument. I have yet to see if this mistake was preserved in DnMe+.

[@Totavier]

1:50 And there was actually a reason for that since it was a small story lore in the franchise. In AC:GC Blathers was still a student of Paleontology so he can't identified the fossils officially, it wasn't until AC: Wild World when he graduated and now can identify the fossils properly. And also at the same time in one of the AC:WW episodes events Blathers also mentioned while he was a student, he met Brewster and helped him in opening the Roost in the town. I was kind surprised that Nintendo added some sort of story to the games for be honest.

[@loganmiller7827]

The old games had a ton of lore like this. Even up to New Leaf they were still doing it a little bit, even if it wasn't much. It's really just New Horizons where they kinda quit doing that other than copy pasting the same Sable stuff they've always had

I always wanted to hear more about that weird glitch with reburying fossils and not getting the first Faraway Museum letter. Could never find much more documentation on it than what you said though. I guess it really is just that simple. It just always stood out to me as really bizarre. As a kid I didn't even understand wtf Blathers was talking about, so it stood out as just a weird thing for him to say. As an adult revisiting the game, I understood he was breaking the 4th wall to try to warn the player about a glitch, but that's just a really odd way to handle it, and it made me wonder what crazy shit was going on in the game's code that the devs couldn't fix it.

[@empireOfLove2]

im guessing something along the lines of not explaining the random function very well internally(it did release over 2 decades ago)

[@HmmmmmLemmeThinkNo]

With a game with so many items and random events, and this being a once-a-year event, it seems pretty easy to overlook a relatively small error like this. One of the biggest rules in cooking is to check the oven before you turn it on. It's easy to forget when you've got other stuff going on, and if there's only a clean cookie sheet in it (ie the code still gives you a random diary and it's got quite a few possibilities), you might not notice until you take a look inside. ...that's one of the weirder metaphors I've made. And i'm a writer 😂 I hope that makes sense though

[@qar_ty7732]

@@HmmmmmLemmeThinkNo it does make sense as to explain just a sanity check (but this kind of hard to notice off by one sanity check is a bit more complex than just forgetting, its that it works but not exactly how you might want)

[@jeasydj123]

@@HmmmmmLemmeThinkNo Oh makes sense. Maybe also just the fact that when you do something for long enough, it becomes harder to see mistakes.

I’m so glad you brought up the weird fossil-check issue because that dialogue has always been so weird and out of place to me-especially in a Nintendo game. Like they were clearly aware of this issue and instead of fixing it they just straight up tell you to not rebury your fossils, and don’t even give an in-universe reason other than it “causes confusion” 💀 it’s always felt like such a weird thing to see in an Animal Crossing game

[@Most-sane-deltarune-fan]

You DO KNOW that in-universe, Blathers is technically still studying to be an expert in fossils, right?

[@justyourbud]

@@Most-sane-deltarune-fan I’m not referring to the mechanic of sending fossils away to be studied. I’m referring to the 4th-wall-breaking dialogue specifically telling the player not to rebury their fossils after digging them up because it “causes confusion”, as brought up in the video. They could have easily fixed this issue but instead just decided to keep the bug in and tell the player that if they rebury their fossil, they won’t get a letter from the Farway Museum. It’s a weird workaround to an oversight that was surely easy to fix.

It would be interesting to see if they ever made a definitive edition of the original Animal Crossing. Many people have said that it feels like it has the most soul, and it has a lot of random, one off events that never return, simply because other games have more things for the player to do.

[@kingbrettpro]

I played through Doki Doki Panic on its built-in NES Emulator, Hunter via Dolphin thanks to save states, and I must say, the game is playable up until World 7. If you manage to get to Wart/Mamu, it's near impossible to beat him because the World 7 vegetables and Wart himself are invisible. The only time Wart is visible is when he opens his mouth to spit bubbles at you, but because the vegetables are invisible, you have to get lucky and hope that one falls on you, then you have to somehow time your throws so they end up in Wart's mouth 3 times without being destroyed by the bubbles. The bubbles themselves are visible so you can dodge them easily, but Wart himself is not easy to dodge since you can't see him at all so you can accidentally run into him and die a lot trying to beat him. So... Yeah, in short, do not try to play DDP all the way through in Animal Crossing, whether on actual hardware or on Dolphin, you will rage trying to get the true ending by beating the game as all 4 characters.

Mr Resetti would always meet me at the train station to berate me for not saving, (because my gyroid was no longer mine), I would knock on my own door, all the villagers treated me as if I was visiting a town on a neighboring memory card, and I was essentially soft locked from doing anything from that point forward on that profile. this legitimately happened and I have never heard of anyone else doing this and I have no idea what insanely specific chain of events it would require to recreate a glitch like that, but I swear to god on that day I sold my house in animal crossing. from what I remember I didn’t even get the 1,000 bells I asked for.

I didn't say so explicitly in the video, but I've replied to several comments pointing out the same thing. It's a bit unorthodox, but they use a float here since the same variable is used as an input elsewhere to randomly determine another float value. Instead of converting or typecasting, they just declared it as a float I guess... But this was also a long time ago and programming standards were not nearly as defined as they are today.

2:27 How are you walking during the transition animation? Is that a gecko/AR code I've missed in the AC spreadsheet/modding server?

[@Hunter-R.]

Yep! That clip is a leftover from my previous video about out-of-bounds where I have a “walk anywhere” collision AR code active, which in turn allows for walking in acre transitions apparently. The code is here under “walk anywhere”: nookipedia.com/wiki/Cheating_device#Action_Replay_codes

[@ToaderTheToad]

@@Hunter-R. That's interesting! I wonder what's disabling the animation? Maybe there's an invisible object that starts the "shifting" animation that the code ignores

[@Jexshyy]

Literally have never played OG animal crossing and probably never will but your videos are so interesting and I love watching them dude keep making these 👍

[@chadmasta5]

If you have the means to play it, be that emulation, loading the iso on a modded wii/wii u/GameCube, or officially; I recommend it. It's a lot simpler than the newer ones but I find that makes it more relaxing.

@@chadmasta5 If I ever get the chance I’ll try it. The only ones I’ve ever really played are City Folk (Lets Go To The City in my country), New Leaf and New Horizons so I guess I’ll have to give it a shot if I can!

Glad to have found this channel when it only had a few uploads

[@foxxyfoxagirl1854]

Godddd I've been a huuuuge fan of these videos! Keep up the incredible work! Excited to see what you got coming next!

custom E-reader is so neat, I even saw someone trying code injection to pokemon with it

[@superbro6413]

Super exciting to know that a Animal Crossing decomp is on its way. While there has been a handful of AC sequels over the decades, GC Animal Crossing holds a special place in my heart Maybe if it releases in the future, you could cover it in a video? Regardless, thanks this here

[@wigglyjoker8575]

While I've played a little Animal Crossing, I never was the biggest fan of it (playing consistently long term). That being said, whenever I see one of your videos in my feed my day is instantly made better

[@hri7566]

That decomp is going to be insanely cool
