TIL Animal Crossing has a fucking NES emulador inside the game that can run any ROM. Why?
You could get special NES items in the game for completing certain tasks. They designed the emulator to work with arbitrary ROMs so they could add ROMs later as part of nintendo promotions and events using the eReader Cards.
These custom items are encoded in a standard format in a user’s save file, so you can still visit people’s towns and transfer these items around.
do you load it via cartridge?!!?
naturally, although the video just does it using a rom
embedded linux! im too dumb to understand most of this but, im glad there are people out there with the brains and willpower to create projects like this. its not only like novelty value, but can really show potential future use cases for how we can make use of obsolete hardware etc. creative thinking is crucial in times like these, where mainstream is stripping away the value of art and creation. cool project!
