Correct! This was the solution I was looking for, and solved within an hour of this video’s posting! On the night of October 31st, or Halloween, if you don’t bring candy to a villager, they will often transform an item in your inventory into a Jack-in-the-box or Jack-o-lantern! These transformations will remove the glitched presents from your inventory and “fix” your save! Good work! 🎉

Capital 'O' instead of lowercase :)

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?

@Hunter-R.

7 ай бұрын

Great catch! I didn’t even think of that. You can indeed pocket bells into your “wallet” even with a full inventory of glitched presents. I guess we’ll have to paper airplane up the post office too! 😈 EDIT: Actually, I believe you can still prevent this scenario by buying the shovel first, equipping it, and then filling your inventory with the glitched presents after. This way you can no longer shake trees to get bells since you’ll be stuck holding the shovel forever. Ah.. but if you’re holding the shovel then you’re able to get bells from the daily money rock.. Unless you account for this beforehand and place items around every rock so it can’t produce bells… but then you still have the golden dig spot to get bells… That’s it… we’re just erasing the post office acre with paper airplanes…

@@Hunter-R. I was about to come ask the same question but it looks like I was late to the party lol. I have to point out that if you make the post office acre crash, there isn't really a point to setting up the inventory in the first place since you have to pay off your debt there in the first place. The fixes I would suggest for tree bells would be to chop down all of the trees before setting up the inventory. You could also drop items all around each rock to prevent their bell bags from spawning, but the golden spot would still appear and using an axe instead of a shovel would allow it to eventually break, meaning you could shake trees again. It's been a minute since I've played GC but I believe the bug net would work to prevent tree shaking, so having it equipped, the full inventory, and the crashing train acre should be all you need... 364 days of the year.

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.

@prismavoid3764

7 ай бұрын

Wild World had items called "seeds" that are used internally to place town features, for world generation - so like when it first makes your town, it drops a seed for the shop, for the houses, etc. to place everything down. For some reason (probably debugging?) these seeds actually exist as inventory items and you can get them with cheats. They were a huge problem for people playing online, since you had to constantly worry that hackers would spawn tons of stuff and ruin your town with no real way to get rid of them. Wild World also had tons of cheat codes that would fill every open space in your entire town with a specific item; I remember seeing the code for Bell bags constantly when looking for codes to get specific items. My best guess is that you accidentally used a cheat that set every single empty space in your entire town to be a rock seed, which would spawn them basically everywhere possible.

"Oh it uses RSA this could potentially be impossible for anyone but nintendo to create codes hu-" OH DEAR GOD

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.

7:51 I played animal crossing as a kid during the late 00's and I remember so vividly using Nook codes three times a day for 30,000 bells each time. I used to do it so often that I had the code memorized for maximum efficiency. To this day, I still remember the WB2 in the beginning of the code and the way it sounds in Animalese. I had long forgotten the rest of the code having been away from the game for a decade or more now, but I recognized this one the moment it came on screen, although with a few tweaks from what I seem to recall. The @ was an &, and the cnounU was cnownU instead. I wonder what it is about them that makes a game-locking bug so similar to a code for money.

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

The wishing well has a function that may affect this. If you have non-droppable items (in regular gameplay these are usually delivery or lost items or whatever) that are left there for an extended time (a week?), you can go to the wishing well, ask forgiveness for failing to get it to who it is supposed to go to, and surrender the item. Will that work on these glitch presents?

Terrific video, keep on with the good work, love to see such high quality content like this!

Would argue you're like pikasprey, they do this with Pokemon games (though they make the games actually able to get out of, just it takes a *long* time) since they are actually still around.

This was a very interesting concept! And I think it was best you explained all of the different code functions in this video, since I was interested in how each of them worked. I love how complex this rather small part of the game is. And the fact it can help obtain a (mostly) impossible save is so cool!! Another great video, as always! :D

just wanna say that these videos are so lovely, thank you for all the deep dives into such an amazing game :)

Another fix would be to to wait to receive a letter in the mail, and then store one of the presents inside the opened mail. I used to do to that to have an extra set of inventory space when playing the game back in the day!

I had an idea for something that this (loosely) reminded me of. Animal crossing towns can't be copied to another memory card using the system utility, but what if you manually made a copy using a homebrew tool (like on the wii) and then put both memory cards in the same system? How would the game behave if the two towns were 100% identical? How would villager moving work since both towns would have exactly the same villagers? Would the ones you were friends with recognize you?

I know that Sonic Adventure (2)'s Chao Garden saves actually check for this, even though they're flagged as Move Only. They aren't so robust about duping Chao though (even though a clone Chao can't live in the same garden) - all the Chao Copy mechanic cares about is that the GCN game is sending a multiboot to the GBA: if a Tiny Chao Garden is in memory, even a multiboot one, it'll send a whole Chao. No special flags to ensure copies are sent back where they came from either.

You bring me back to uni math classes with small RSA calculations... Wow

For anyone interested, encryption is quite a big subset of computing and is used everywhere. RSA is one of several that is designed to encrypt with one value and decrypt with another. Hard drive encryptors commonly use these. There's, also hashing algorithms that are designed to be one way. These are what websites use for storing passwords. Though websites should also be salting their hashes, that is adding a variable to further encrypt them. So when you send your password to log in, the server is checking that your password hashes to match the encrypted version that it stored. There are many many other examples like VPNs, file integrity verification, and others. Some of these are already considered quantum resistant.

8:43, I feel like the "unopenable present" is less of a glitched item and more of an item without any data it is pointing to. Or the pointer is to invalid data thus it can't be opened.

My guesses to fix your inventory: You could give a glitched item back to Tom Nook to send to a friend and set the player name and town to match your own which should technically create the original code again. Another would be to give it as a gift to a villager on their birthday or a viable holiday. Also if I recall you can use a letter received from the mail to act as extra storage, so maybe we can move it there and then even use the post office computer to store the letter and item there Last guess would be that you could put the item up for sale from your gyroid in front of your house to free up space.

All good guesses! Unfortunately the game prevents you from interacting with the glitched present in your inventory at all. This means you cannot mail it, put it in your letters, or otherwise give it to anyone else. Tom Nook will also not sell it or accept it as a valid item to be sent via a code. It is a pretty stubborn little present!
