Nestled forest of GameCube + NES emulator function was hidden


" Animal Crossing + " released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2001 is the second series of "Animal Crossing" which is one of Nintendo's popular game series. In the animal woods you can collect various furniture and decorate the house, but there are also NES furniture with various game software inserted , which can actually play games in the game I will make it. James Chambers , a security researcher who analyzed the game code of the animal's forest +, saved the NES data of the NEC Famicom into the memory card of the game cube, It turns out that furniture functions as a real emulator and every game can be played.

In Japan's "Animal Crossing +", this item appears as a Famicom furniture , but in the overseas version the appearance has changed to NES . Software is placed on top of the game machine, in the following cases the left is " Excite bike " and the right is " Golf ". With the animal crucible +, I was able to actually play a different game in the game using the furniture where this game software was placed.


And there were also just NES furniture not having game software inside.


Even if you use it, it says "I can not play because I do not have the software", but if you actually save the NES's ROM data to the memory card of the GameCube, the game scans this "Most NES games will be playable," Chambers wrote.



While accessing the Developer menu hidden within the game code of Chorus + Chambers +, the "NES furniture not accompanied by software" that appears in the game is a NES I notice that it has a function as a general-purpose emulator that looks for ROM data and makes it possible to play games. Chambers debugged with an emulator and the animal cross-forest + decodes the file format necessary to recognize the NES ROM file in the memory card.

And, save the ROM data of "Rockman" which does not appear in the animal's forest + NES furniture on a memory card and play.


It also succeeded in executing "pinball" appearing in the game from the ROM data saved in the memory card.


In addition, although I have a problem with graphics, I am sure that you can also play "Butteredo".


Besides, Chambers has also succeeded in loading his own NES ROM file, which shows that almost all NES ROM data can be read.


Ars Technica of overseas media was interesting that the general-purpose NES emulator was implemented in the game cube and it was surprising that Nintendo's hand was implemented by the hands of Nintendo more than anything more than anything. I am doing. Ars Technica anticipates that Nintendo was planning to play NES files on animal cruises + via memory cards, and the evidence suggests that "Nintendo preserves special in-game items We sold a memory card . " Or you may have been looking for a way to write NES games to a memory card using equipment such as a disc writer .

For those who want to use the NES emulator with animal cruising +, Chambers publishes the source code for generating NES ROM files on GitHub.
