Exposing Tom Nook's Secret Codes

The "secret code" system in the original Animal Crossing is both super cool, but also somewhat painful to use. Luckily, players can now generate their own codes themselves through the work of some pretty fascinating reverse engineering.
- Corrections -
• There are 64 possible characters the game pulls from to make the password, but I’m ommitting ‘#’ and ‘%’ in the shown graphic at 02:23. You would think this makes 66 characters, but it turns out ‘0’ and ‘1’ are translated to ‘O’ and ‘l’ by the game internally. This means only ‘l’ and ‘I’ are responsible for incorrect character confusion.

Sorry if I took up a bit of time with announcements at the end of this video! These will only be shared once like this since these services were just launched and I wanted to give a public, vocal statement of my stance on paid memberships. Regarding this video, I could've gone a bit more in-depth explaining each encryption method, but I decided to streamline it a bit and focus on just the interesting things found in the code like the developer names and checksum. Trust me, I did explain bit shifts and each cipher encryption in the original voiceover, but I listened back to it and I sounded extremely bored and monotonous rambling for 7 minutes straight... so I ended up cutting it out. I'll get better at this eventually. 😅 EDIT: Following feedback from you all, I will properly bring up this topic again with a more detailed explanation. I have a good idea on how to naturally integrate a quicker, more digestible explanation in the next video - thank you all for the confidence!

@@miles6492 My ideal solution is to just get better at explaining things in a way that's interesting and sounds fun. I'm probably my own worst critic, but I can definitely tell that the extended voiceover of myself sounded awful and wouldn't be pleasant to just shove in the middle of this video. But you do have a point and I wouldn't mind including unlisted, lightly edited videos of further explanations in the description.

I felt like such a bad ass as a kid when I went on the early 2000’s internet and looked up Tom Nook’s codes; I printed them all out and put them in a binder with a custom cover. I brought it over to my friend’s house and we would sit around the TV and try codes on items that we’d never seen before.

Dude, the reveal of Project hyrule in this video sent me on a trip. I'd been trying to remember the name of a forum I was on where you could collect, trade, buy, and sell virtual animal crossing furniture, clothes, etc and display them in your "house"...for over a decade. It was project hyrule. I paused the video, found the site on the wayback machine, and just spent a while clicking through what few archives of it and the forums exist. There are usernames present here I remember. Mine is never visible anywhere, but I know the names MK_Omega, Bisou, Engel, Goldenboy, HarpyLadySister, these were all regulars, and I remember them. It's so crazy. I'm so upset none of the images/cards are archived. This was 18 years ago, I was on this forum every single day. I've never found anyone else who was there. I can't believe it

I used a code generator a few years ago to give myself some of the more obscure items (like the Tortimer chocolates) and it worked well, until weird things happened and it spooked me off the code generator. The biggest glitch I had was the items I ordered from Nook's catalog never came. It would just be the letters with no attached presents.

I know you almost exclusively cover the GameCube version, but there was a conversation on Reddit recently about how the game determines tree color in New Horizons. They discovered that tree color during the fall, and even which trees have lights during winter, is determined by the placement of the trees in the grid. Im not sure if the same applies to other versions of the game, but I think this would be such a cool topic to cover!
@safebox36
@safebox36 6 месяцев назад
One possible reason for the extra encryption steps might be because of regional differences and to ensure cross-compatibility between the different versions. While the Japanese version codes aren't compatible with international versions, said international versions are compatible. At the time, there was three international versions released; the North American version, the Australian version, and the European version. While the first two are identical in language, the last one adds an additional 4 languages. The Australian and European versions also address bugs present in the North American version. And all three versions have item changes unique to them. Any number of these changes could affect how items are trades between towns. So it's possible that these extra encryption methods acted as redundancy checks in case an item was considered "buggy" when it reached another player's town.

Wait a minute... What if you used _your own player and town name_ as the send-to address at Nook's? If it doesn't give a "hol up there" error, you could essentially _duplicate your own items forever_ just by repeatedly inputting the same code from yourself to yourself...

@@gadgetboyj I know that. What I'm saying is, there's no "has this code been used before" check, so if you input the "destination" as the same town and player you're "sending" from, then once you've generated a code, it's a trivial, if tedious, method of _item duping_ just by putting the code in repeatedly

That’s neat. Back in the 90s, I figured out Kid Icarus for NES’s password system. You could do weird things such as boost your strength beyond the max (which didn’t do anything special on most levels but did cause extra damage to the bosses). I recall what spurred me on at the time was there’s a bug that will clear your data if your password is for level 1-1, which happened to me when I killed myself after completing the game to get a password to play later. I did it by analyzing passwords the game gave me. I recall each letter is a separate piece of data except the score which is a few. There’s a random bit of data, and, of course, a basic checksum. I recall the score added extra data to the checksum. Jeez, it’s been almost 30 years at this point. Good times.

The attention to detail with Nook codes alone is impressive. Then when you consider all the other types and special results, with magazines and websites and e-Reader cards, _plus_ the variance between games, it's a bit ridiculous… at least I learned hiragana through testing out passwords in _Doubutsu no Mori+_ I look forward to more videos about it!

"He will then spit out a disgusting, 28 character, case sensitive password" Oh man, brings back memories of the save file transfer between the Golden Sun games on GBA. If you wanted to transfer 100% of your items and stats to the second game, you needed to write down and then type in a ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY CHARACTER case sensitive passcode. The game would even start playing battle music on the password screen to get you pumped up for the magnitude of the task you were about to undertake. Worth it every time!

Something about this password system is wildly more fascinating to me than simply mailing a gift to someone over the internet, even if there is literally no reason to use this system anymore.

Also one thing that I was wonder with the password system is that aside of obtain items, there was also some "broken" passwords that actually ruin your game, some of them that I remember in tested was the disable the music one (which is permanent!), the freeze your game one (which... it do it after the password is accepted, lol!) and two other ones that lock your save and make impossible to win any contest but I never do it or wanted to test it (I already ruined one town with no music 😂). Kind surprised that Nintendo never blacklisted those codes, they blacklisted the F4 NES ones but not those "I want to ruin my game" ones 😂.

That's a ludicrous amount of layers of encryption for something as simple as sharing items. I guess they really didn't want people to figure out how to abuse this system, jokes on them.

as another comment suggested, it could've been used as a checksum of sorts for different languages present in the european versions of the game, but i do agree that there's probably a "please don't try to figure this out using a pen and paper" aspect to it. but yeah, jokes on them; people will just decompile the game and read the code lol

don't you dare diss phantasy star online it's through phantasy star online and the broadband adapter that I first played animal crossing :3 the game is small enough to all fit in the GC RAM so streaming it via the BBA doesn't create lag problems. But yeah, Animal Crossing + BBA... more nostalgic than one may think. There were already alternative OSes and loaders on GC using that method. Perhaps those kind of homebrew debugging tools helped decipher the password system. There were some major cool ones for GC that led directly into the Wii homebrew scene. ps major kudos for not using "donations" like a store and actually taking donations

I remember using a golden shovel code I found online with a ton of other codes that worked. It gave me a gift that I wasn’t able to move or open and now I’m down 1 inventory slot. Years later I did it again and now I’m down 2

lmao i would be willing to put a bet on a cybersecurity intern somehow ended up working for the dev company and that's why this feature is fleshed out at such an early stage of Nintendo's security

This is an extremely interesting video, but I'm a little embarrassed that I thought "Project Hyrule" was a canceled Nintendo contest dealio for pretty much my entire adult life (I'll be 29 in January)

When I was a kid, I had a packet of codes that was downloaded from some website that everyone got walk through/tips/cheats (I can't remember this was like almost 20 years ago lol). The passwords were quite often like actual words. Did the game have some universal passwords? I remember doing that to get turnips and music lol.
