@github-actions github-actions released this 30 Oct 01:02

This one started with a crash report and kind of snowballed: a gyroid crash fix, a faster game, and something to do with the Game Boy Advance and e-Reader parts of the game.

Coming from v1 or v1.1? Copy the new default.xbe and default.tbn over the old ones. Your saves and settings carry over. New here? See the README. You need your own Animal Crossing (USA, GAFE01) disc image.

Runs better

  • Built with LTO and PGO. Tighter code tuned on real play sessions, and about half a megabyte more free memory.
  • Menus open fast. The near half-second freeze when opening a menu at 720p is down to under a tenth of a second.

Disc validation and a new boot screen

The first boot checks every file on your disc image against a known good copy while stamps land on a letter from TechProGabe. It takes about a second and only happens once. Wrong releases, modded images and damaged files are caught up front instead of crashing later. Hold Y and both triggers at boot to check again.

After that you get a quick "Welcome back to town!" screen.

No GBA? No problem

An Xbox can't connect a Game Boy Advance, an e-Reader or a GameCube memory card, so those parts of the game got reworked. No spoilers.

Fixed

  • Closing the gyroid storage menu no longer crashes. Same fix for the catalog.
  • The address book no longer freezes when flipping pages while writing a letter (#4).

Plus a new logo and README.

Known issues

  • Clu Clu Land D doesn't run yet.
  • At 16:9 some 2D art, like the title logo, is a little too wide.
  • No sound after a crash? Power the console fully off and on.
