Animal Crossing
2 ports and 1 decompilation
Animal Crossing (ACGC-PC-Port)
flyngmt/ACGC-PC-Port
Unofficial native PC port of Animal Crossing (GameCube) from the ac-decomp decompilation: 4K, high frame rate (60 to 960 fps), Dolphin texture packs, and GCI saves. US version only.
You needYour own copy of Animal Crossing (GameCube, US version).
Animal Crossing (ac-decomp)
ACreTeam/ac-decomp
Decompilation of the GameCube version, against US revision 0 (GAFE01_00). It tracks progress on the DOL and the REL modules separately, because the game keeps a good part of its code in loadable overlays rather than in the main executable. It ships neither assets nor assembly: a copy of the game is required.
Animal Crossing (BellPad)
chrissotraidis/bellpad
BellPad: an experimental native port of the US release of the GameCube Animal Crossing for Apple silicon macOS, iPhone, and iPad. It is not a GameCube emulator or a browser port: it builds a 64-bit game core from the reverse engineering and draws with Metal through Aurora, SDL3, and Dawn. Its foundation is birabittoh’s ACGC-PC-Port, which comes from FlyingMeta’s PC port and the ac-decomp decompilation; BellPad contributes the Apple integration, game-data import from Files, touch controls, Dolphin-compatible save handling, and fixes. The published releases contain no app: you build it with PadMint, a separate tool, on an Apple silicon Mac with Xcode, from your own game file. 0.2.2 (October 19) added building for the Mac itself, besides iPhone and iPad. The project’s README declares substantial AI assistance for code, tests, documentation, debugging, and maintenance, and notes that some support replies are automated.
You needYour own Animal Crossing for GameCube file, US release. Plus an Apple silicon Mac with Xcode and the build dependencies (cmake, ninja, ripgrep, and sdl2 from Homebrew) to generate the app with PadMint.
