Animal Crossing PC Port - Deluxe Edition

Native PC port of Animal Crossing (GameCube) with Deluxe content, built on ac-decomp and ACGC-PC-Port.

Runs the original decompiled C natively on x86 with a GX-to-OpenGL 3.3 translation layer. No game assets or assembly included, you need your own copy.

Supported version: GAFE01_00 Rev 0 (USA)

Why this exists

I had no plans to release this publicly. I kept it closed-source out of respect for the modding community. That changed when Cuyler pushed for my removal from the community, spread false claims about my save editor, and tried to retroactively justify it by citing my use of AI tooling, which anyone paying attention can see had nothing to do with it.

Not interested in relitigating that. The work speaks for itself.

The port is mostly complete, nearly everything is implemented but there are some bugs and workarounds still in there. No assets included for legal reasons, bring your own. There's some dead code related to a Twitch integration that was in progress.

I moved on to the NBA Street Vol. 2 decompilation before finishing polish on this, and that's where my focus is now. People have been asking for this in various places, so here it is. Use it, learn from it, build on it.

What's Deluxe?

Adds support for content from the Animal Crossing Deluxe ROM hack:

• New NPCs and interactions
• Monuments (clock, windmill, fountain, statue, bench, streetlight, bell, flower clock)
• Bulletin board system
• Countdown timer
• Additional furniture, insects, items
• Option to skip Tom Nook's intro delivery chores

Deluxe features are on by default (VERSION >= VER_DELUXE at compile time).
