Animal Crossing (aka Doubutsu no Mori Plus (どうぶつの森+) in Japan) is a video game series developed by Nintendo, in which the player lives his/her own virtual life in a village populated with anthropomorphic animals. The game takes place in real time, reflecting the current time of day and season. The individual games have been widely praised for their uniqueness and innovative nature, which has led to the series becoming one of Nintendo's leading franchises. As of January 2010, over 15,000,000 units of games from the Animal Crossing series have been sold.

An updated Japan-exclusive version, Doubutsu no Mori e+, was released in June 2003.

Emulation Information

Game Boy Advance ↔ GameCube Connectivity

This title supports GameBoy Advance connection, which can be used via joybus emulation. As of 5.0-14690 Dolphin now has mGBA built in for GBA connectivity features. Simply set a GBA (Integrated) to the controllers you wish to connect and ensure you have a GBA BIOS configured in the Options → Configuration → GameCube and everything else with connecting will be handled automatically.

If you wish to use standalone GBA emulators for connectivity, you still can through the GBA (TCP) setting. mGBA 0.9.0 or newer and the latest VBA-M SVNs should be supported. Please follow each emulator's instructions for Joybus connectivity in order to connect to Dolphin.

To connect GBA in game:

  1. Launch Dolphin, start Animal Crossing.
  2. There is a special island that is unlocked with a GBA connection and you can play NES games on the GBA screen.

Problems

NES Games: Bad Graphics

NES games are distorted by default. They require XFB Real to display correctly due to scaling. You can also avoid that by using Progressive Scan to play them without RealXFB. Also playing them on the GBA works without XFB Real. Fixed with Hybrid XFB in 5.0-5874.
