This release will need some explaining. You might know that you get a special memory card from Nintendo when you buy Animal Crossing. For all of you that didn't buy the game (shame on you), and those that have the game, but just couldn't figure this out, we bring you this release.
So what is the point of this release you ask? Well, Inside this special memory card, there is a Gift Bag from Nintendo. If you launch the game and save with this memory card, you will find a gift from Nintendo in your post-box the next time you enter town. When you follow the step-by-step instruction below, you will have this Gift Bag on your memory card. Now isn't that something? But wait, it gets even better. Once you have opened your giftbag and you have put your new NES games inside your house, you can repeat the process. And guess what! POOF you have another Gift Bag in your post-box! You can do this as often as you want, because the Gift Bag is saved in a different slot than your town data!

Inside the .rar you will find a .sav file. In this case you will find qbm-acgiftbag.sav. You will have to use CTR's GCS tool to put the file on your memory card. Below you will find a step-by-step instruction on how to do this: First you have to set-up GCS. Please refer to the ctr-gcs.txt inside the ctr-gcs.txt inside the GCS release for this. Once you have set it up correctly, use PSUL to load up the ctr-gcs.dol through the PSO exploit. If you do not know how to do this, please search for tutorials on the internet. When GCS loads, use the "ctr-gcs <slot> -r qbm-acgiftbag.sav" command to write the Animal Crossing GiftBag savegame to your memory card. Replace <slot> with the slot your memory card is in ('a' or 'b'). If you already used this release before or you had the original memory card from Nintendo, it will ask you if you want to Overwrite your savegame. Press A to OverWrite. Once you are done doing all this and it has completed successfully, boot up the ISO or your original Animal Crossing MiniDVD and you should now have a new Gift Bag in your post box!

Please note that we have tested this release with the PAL Original and with Animal_Crossing_USA_NGC_INTERNAL-EURASIA. If you are having problems with this release, please re-do all the steps described above.
