Many people have pointed out that the Famicom Disk System's extra sound channel is not properly emulated here, and all of you are correct! I noticed this after recording and tried for several hours to get it working, but ultimately gave up. I'm 100% certain that Animal Crossing is technically capable of handling this sound channel since all the functionality is there in the code, but I'm not sure exactly how to structure the ROMs to load with this sound channel.

If you'd like to read about my troubleshooting on this or if you'd like some clues on how to potentially solve this yourself, I made an entire post about it here: https://hunter-r.com/posts/ac-fds-emulation/

Making the most accurate in-house emulator for your most iconic console only to put it into one old game as optional minigames and never touch it again is a very Nintendo thing to do

"Yo what emulator do you use for NES games?"
"Animal Crossing"

Fun fact: the ambient music played on the GameCube's system menu is actually the Famicom Disk System startup theme, slowed waaaaaayyy down.

Why did i just realize that the background he uses for his videos is just the animal crossing grass texture but it's black

i find it hilarious that the animal crossing gamecube disk is just some absolute unit containing so many seemingly random things like 18 entire NES games, an NES emulator, and a BIOS

Funfact: Zelda and Metroid where both released for the FDS. Metroid on FDS took advantage of the save feature to save your progress (the cartridge version had a password system while the FDS system had save files.)

Ok, uh… I somehow just realized you only have 5 videos at the time I’m writing this and don’t even have 1,000 subscribers yet. (I better subscribe already then, haha!) I sure hope your channel picks up soon with more people seeing them because I’m really enjoying all your videos!

You make really concise and accessible videos for someone of your channel size. I hope more people find your channel and you have a big break soon! Keep up the good work!

0:05 Hunter with 37 subs, super cute lol! Amazing how much you've grown in a year and a half!

If I had a nickel for every time Nintendo made one of the most accurate things ever and never touched it again, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.

This is terrific but I don't think the emulator is emulating the extra sound channel on the FDS so the music is wrong. Too bad they didn't go the extra little bit to do that.

10:24 : NOt exactly 100%. See, The Famicom had a built-in microphone in its second controller. The first version of The Legend of Zelda used that microphone to kill the polls voice (those creatures with ear that doesn't react to the flute at all!) So the clue given by the old man in that Polls Voice hates loud noises is useless outside of Japan because the NES had no way to emulate your voice. (But Nintendo knew that so they've reprogrammed the Polls Voice so that an arrow could insta-kill them instead. I tried that trick in the FDS version, it did nothing.)

it's actually even MORE crazy if you make a wii u inject of the game, so it'd be
a wii u, running a wii, running a gamecube, running a port of an n64 game, running an nes emulator

The Disk System's extra sound channel doesn't seem to be emulated as you can hear on the title screen in Zelda.

What?! It calls the register of the memory card and looks for roms? That's so freaking cool. AC on the GameCube is such a wonderful game, you can tell the team who worked on it just went wild with thinking of ways to utilize every part of the GameCube inside and out.

I mean, the GameCube uses the internal clock, the memory card (for non save purposes), the e-reader, the GBA and probably a bunch more I'm not familiar with.

Could you maybe make more of these videos? Please?! I need content like this💻🕹️

I've seen people use Pokemon Yellow ACE to beat other games really quick
Maybe a similar thing could be done to inject NES roms into an AC save file?
Hell, maybe it's possible to make a custom ROM that breaks out of the emulator and loads the secret second debug menu in animal crossing

i just binged all your videos and they're actually some of my favorites ive ever watched. definetly subscribing so i dont miss future ones

Hey man I've been binge watching your channel all day. I have got to say, I love your content. Very well organized, edited, and explained. I watch it while I work on programming. Keep it up!!
