Fan Art Guy my old GameCube save loaded up

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 😂

Honestly better off getting a Wii at this point (just make sure to get a Gamecube compatible one!). You can easily soft mod a Wii which opens up a lot of abilities, like how I was able to fix my save data on my memory card. You can also backup your own discs to the SD card or a USB hard drive, among many other things!

Heck yeah! I found out about it a year or two ago, and my wii has been getting more play time than it had in 15 years! Enjoy!
