Creating an 'Impossible' Animal Crossing Save

This video recognizes Stryder7x’s content as an inspiration for the idea, but does not condone or serve as a commentary on any actions he made outside of content creation. Apologies for my prior ignorance on the situation.

— Corrections —
• During my bit shifting explanation, my graphic showcasing “left shifts” incorrectly loops the leading ‘0’ to the back. This is supposed to be a newly introduced ‘0,’ but the graphic implies that it is the same bit as started with, which is wrong.

For fixing the inventory: Could you set the date to halloween and have the villagers transform a present in your inventory for not having candy?

[velvetbutterfly]

Going from kids menu puzzle to Euler's Totient Function in a matter of seconds is a huge whiplash

Fun fact, if you generate a Nook Code that was received from "Resetti", Resetti's music will play until you reboot the game.

Next time my students say that RSA with 2 digits primes is not a "realistic case", I'll send them this video

It always puts a smile on my face to see people using ACSE since i provided a majority of the graphics for the program, including acre screenshots for ACGC ! I also love seeing people fly the paper airplanes, since i was around for that initial discovery and how it works. I remember i tried to get a video of flying the planes on my channel within an hour of that discovery.

Strider7x very sadly stopped making videos about 4 years ago, but it's cool to see someone mention him again

7:50 seeing that code was a bit of a jumpscare for me! It's only 3 characters off the 30, 000 bell code I memorized as a kid and still remember for some reason 2 decades later...

In theory, I believe you can upgrade your house with a permanently full inventory using only bell bags that you find from shaking trees, since if you pick up bell bags with a full inventory, normally you can place the bells directly in your wallet from the "swap item" screen. Do the glitch presents stop that from happening?

I think also covering really stupid and specific ways to crash Animal Crossing outside of what you discussed would be another fun topic to explore. In the spirit of Stryder, of course.

[cudgle]

Holy crap, dude. You just unintentionally gave me an incredibly useful tutorial on how to code cyphers in the game I'm working on. Thank you!! Lol

watching this video reminded me of something that really scared me when I was a kid. It's about Animal Crossing: Wild World, which was my first game from the AC series. I know it's not the same thing, but I've never seen anyone talking about this(and this kinda creeps me out even now). Anyway, when I was 6 I had my Nintendo Dsi modded; I used to play many games with an R4, you know the drill- with that you could have access to cheats, so when I discovered this feature I started to play with it. This is where Animal Crossing comes in: one day I regularly booted the game and my town was covered with rocks. Every acre was limited by rocks, and you could, of course, go anywhere. It was a long run, even with cheats, and every progress I made so far was about to vanish. plus, I was only six, it was so scary seeing my town in that state that if I think about it I get the chills. I've never seen anyone talking about this and now I'm hoping that someone who knows why that happened will read this and explain. It could have been something on the cheats menu, but I'm italian, and, when I was six, knowing what "apple" meant was mind-blowing so now I can't remember what was written. Anyway, it would happen not right after updating the cheats menu, but after some time.

Again, I hope someone knows what was going on so I can finally solve this 14 years old mistery.

My immediate guess (and sadly without original hardware it's just a guess) is to use the Animal Island as a functional "second memory card" that can lose your inventory that way.

[SM-yrnt]

This channel came out of nowhere and I'm surprised by how good the videos are. Never played animal crossing YET, but you have my intrigue

[xMoldyMacaroni]

No clue on how you don't have way more subscribers, this is incredibly high quality.

[minispaceflyer]

didn't expect to hear stryder7x's name in this video its great to hear his name again even if he is away from youtube and streaming

[Bigjar]

I accidentally did this twice as a kid trying to get a golden axe(?) I miss imputed the code (probably a lowercase L and capital I) and got these. I’ve never been able to get rid of them until now. Thank you so much

[MayorMori]

This is an incredible channel, and you’re an amazing creator. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing

[LegendaryLee]

Your videos are top notch, man! I saw the title for this and immediately thought of Stryder7x, so having him mentioned in the beginning was quite the surprise lol. I look forward to adding this video to my list of constantly rewatched videos

[KingNikolai]

yo, just wanted to say thank you for putting out this content. really niche stuff like this is my absolute favorite, and I find it fascinating. with the likes of you and other youtubers like modern vintage gamer and retro game mechanics explained. Keep doing what you're doing, it's fantastic!

[RedPandaTables]

Randomly guessing but kinda have a feeling the island GBA minigame might be a possible way to delete items. I'm far too lazy to test it out though. Wishing Well can also delete items but it is generally for task items where the villager in question had moved away, you can "apologize" to the well and have the item be removed but unsure if it can do such for the glitch presents.
