Doubutsu No Mori N64 English Patch
Hi, I am a big fan of this emulator, but i have run into an issue. I used to use n64oid, because of its compatability, but i switched over to mupen64 because it is nicer and more user friendly. There is just one problem, i used to play animal forest (full english patch version) on n64oid with no problem, but when I play on mupen64 it crashes before it even loads. Please fix this, I paid for the donation version on google play store and I rated 5 stars. There is no doubt in my mind that you wont fix this soon. Thanks :) |

Does the non-patched ROM also crash? |
commented Jan 20, 2013
Im not sure, I cant read japanese, so even if it could work, it wouldnt really do any good. if it helps, my device is HTC One X |

I'd just like to determine if the problem is specific to the patched ROM, or if it also affects the nonpatched one as well. You don't have to be able to play it, just run a quick test to see if it crashes. The reason I ask is because I'd rather not go through the patching process if I don't have too. If you find that the crash only happens on the patched ROM, then please post a link to the specific patch you are using (and instructions for how to apply the patch would be helpful as well) |

Okay, the non English patch Rom did work, and here is the link to the patched Rom --LINK REMOVED-- you just have to download it (make sure the file extension is .n64) and it should work :) thanks and keep up the great work! |

Please do not post links to ROMs (copyright violation). I bought a Doubutsu No Mori cartridge off ebay a few months ago when we were working on plugging in the eeprom clock emulation code. I'll patch my own ROM. I found a couple of translation patches, so hopefully one of them is the version you have that is experiencing the problem. |

Hi, I just wanted to add a bit to this. The author of the translation project posted the latest translation patch here: http://www.emutalk.net/threads/14426-animal-forest-translation/page74 You'll need your own, unedited ROM for it. An unpatched ROM works fine with the gles2n64 plugin. Textures all load, game runs smooth, etc. However, it's inconvenient for those of us who don't speak Japanese haha. The old, partially translated ROM also behaves the same way, but is also mostly in Japanese. The latest patch will not load with the gles2n64 plugin at all. Simply a black screen and return to the main menu. It will run with the gles2rice plugin, though. However, it has a ton of problems loading textures (mostly 2D textures), so the game is unplayable as you can't see a lot things. If it helps any, N64oid runs the latest patched ROM with almost no problems. |

Doesn't help any since N64oid is closed source :) |

It's the latest version of the patch. |
commented May 28, 2016
If the unpatched version works, but the unpatched one doesn't, then it's most likely a problem with the patch. |
commented May 28, 2016
You could request support for this patch upstream. Since the unpatched version works, it would most likely require some sort of hack. This is upstream: https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-core |

ui-console: Update to commit b8fa2de.The fabled 'Doubutsu no Mori e+', and why we need a fan translation/other mods for it.
For those unaware, Doubutsu no Mori e+ was an updated version of Animal Crossing on the Gamecube that incorporated a ton of new features, including new events, more fish and animals, and a ton of new villagers, some of which had never made it out of this game. However, getting these villagers required usage of an e-reader, which even now is nigh impossible to properly emulate.
Tobidase Doubutsu No Mori
This begs the question: How will us outside of Japan EVER be able to get these villagers? The simple answer is getting ahold of a copy of the game, along with the cards you want and a japanese e-reader, but that's expensive and counter productive.
Outside of the lost villagers, there's a few others missing features, such as nighttime Tom Nook, an expanded yet interesting Private Island feature, an expanded Diary, and other expanded features that have been lost to time.
Which is why I propose the following: modding this particular version of AC for English users. An English translation that is near identical to the version we got here across the sea would be wonderful for all fans of AC. Another mod would be able to get the lost villagers/islanders without the need for an e-reader, having them set up as villagers who can move in naturally. Animal Crossing GC already has codes to alter villagers, so hypothetically it wouldn't be that hard.
Would you want to see that?
