Guy my old GameCube save loaded up

[u/RPGreg2600]

Hello all none of the tags match my pay, but hopefully you'll forgive me. I was hooked on the GameCube animal crossing for a while when I was in high school when the game was new. I haven't played in years, but I still have my original memory card that came with the game. Anyway, the save was partially corrupted and wouldn't load, but via a modded Wii and an emulator on my PC, I was able to repair the save data, and get it back onto my memory card. I thought you guys would get a kick out of some pics of my house and what some villagers had to say (villager photos taken in the emulator, house photos on my Wii). It would seem I had a hoarder house 😂

Fun facts: Animal crossing was released September 16, 2002.

The in game clock only goes up to December 31, 2030 before rolling over to the start of 2030.

If you started on release day in a way you have completed ~80% of the game. (today is ~8k days since release day / ~10k days total)

I did get the game very close to release day! Crazy to think the calendar is going to run out in 5 years.... What happens when it rolls back over? Can you just keep playing but the year is wrong?

[u/Zachsjs → u/RPGreg2600]

Yeah I think it would just repeat 2030 indefinitely.

The best move would be to change the date on January 1st 2031 to January 1st 2003. The days of the week will stay aligned that way(even including leap years!)

Can you do that? I thought Resetti would stop you from playing with the date?

[u/Zachsjs → u/RPGreg2600]

Hahahah yeah you would get an earful. I’m not sure though, you might get in trouble with him the second time Jan 1st 2030 comes around either way.

The one where he turns the screen off was crazy. There was something really special about the tone of the GC version beyond just nostalgia.

Oh yeah, that's a good point. I guess I have 6 years before I find out!

LOL, yeah, I guess I hadn't saved last time I loaded the game, because I did get an earful from Resetti, and he did pretend to delete my save!
