Animal Crossing

Nintendo EAD · 2001 · GameCube · Life sim

Play

Bring your Animal Crossing disc image (USA, GAFE01 Rev 0), .iso, .gcm or .ciso: the port runs it, it does not ship it.

About

Slider, a web build of FlyingMeta's PC port of the ac-decomp decompilation. Bring your own disc image; memory cards stay in the browser and export as .gci. Safari and iOS crash after about a minute (a WebKit leak): play in a Chromium browser.

Occasionally strange but completely addictive, Nintendo's Animal Crossing for the GameCube is not so much a game as a simulation of life on a small town. Players begin the game by setting out to live life on their own in a colorful town, where they are greeted by a seemingly endless supply of things to do and characters to meet. Time passes in Animal Crossing in real-time, as the month, day, season, and time of day matches that of the player's. Holiday seasons come and go in Animal Crossing, just as they would in the real world. Experience the freedom to fish, decorate your house, go bug catching, garden, write letters, and even play original Nintendo NES games in this imaginative, and addictive game.

    Latest release v0.9.3-playtest, Aug 2, 2026 (a pre-release)Code last updated Aug 2, 2026A list SubmitGame reads flags it as made with an AI's help.

    How to play
    1. It needs your own disc image of Animal Crossing, the USA release (GAFE01, Rev 0), as ISO, GCM or CISO.
    2. Download the zip of its latest release and extract it.
    3. Put your own disc image in its rom folder and run AnimalCrossing.exe: it reads everything from the image at startup, with nothing to extract first.
    4. On the keyboard, WASD moves, the arrow keys turn the camera, Space is A, Left Shift is B and Enter is Start; keybindings.ini rebinds them.
    5. SDL2 gamepads work, detected when plugged in.
    6. Saves go in its save folder as GCI files: put a Dolphin GCI export there to bring an existing save.
    7. Resolution (up to 4K), fullscreen, VSync and MSAA are in its options menu or in settings.ini.
