My god.....Nintendo are taking down a video, showing how to inject code into a gamecube memory card, to run roms on either a gamecube, or original wii, using the first animal crossing disc.
This method will NOT be some hail mary that gets people to start using emulators. If they want to play an NES rom, this will NOT be the first way they try.
This is just Nintendo being petty.
Animal crossing (2001) as a gateway drug.
Anyone capable of doing this likely already has advanced skills in emulator set-up and ROM-finding.
Likely? They ABSOLUTELY would know. It's like saying that anyone driving a F1 race car has likely gotten a drivers liscense.
Capable and interested.
I could show it to a technically-inclined non-gamer and they'd be able to replicate it given the right tools, haha
I wonder why the game has the ability to load roms from the memory card. I don't think that was said in the post, unless i missed it.
Was it for testing the nes games they included? Or some sort of memory card event they did?
There's a few good videos online about the N64 version of the game, and how it can load ROMs from memory cards as well:
That's great, thank you!
Not sure if you are looking for some deep explanation. I can't tell based on the question. Anyway, animal crossing for the game cube has (had?) collectible items such as NES games, though they could only be played if you also had a console item. Basically, you could play NES games in animal crossing. The post seems to be mainly about hacking this part of the game to allow playing other games. As to why it has the ability? Idk? Because developers decided to include NES emulator as part of the ROM.
I read the post, it explains all of that and is not what I asked.
