What was the process for extracting the file?

So much this. Is the Switch really that insecure that there are ROMs floating around of this already? o.o

Yes, there's already emulators able to run the game (if barely and not really playable)[1]

Sorry for everyone who couldn't open this, I tuned some apache settings and the site should load much faster now!

Just a heads up, OpenDNS blocks your domain for "Web Spam". You might want to poke around and make sure you don't have unprotected comment forms or open redirects. https://domain.opendns.com/bert.org

Yikes, thanks, I'll submit that for re-review.

Okay, I have to ask - are the app names from the game, or your addition?

I took some creative liberties there.

The app labeled "noom" looks like Skype, not Zoom.

You did an excellent job naming these. This made my day.

Ooh, it looks like the black MacBook from 2007! Definitely my favorite Apple laptop I've ever used. Less plasticky feeling than the iBook it replaced, more comfortable to use than the metal unibody machines that replaced it. I had the plain old white version and stuck a bunch of blackbook replacement parts on it to make it look kind of like an oreo.

Totally, something like a mix between that and the Sony TZ series.

Also gives me flashbacks to the Google CR-48, which itself looked like a Blackbook but a bit sexy-fied.

You can actually get this as an item in the game and customizing it will give you the option to chose one of those backgrounds.

I'm not sure how you can acquire it by normal/elgit means, but if you are able to extract your save file from Animal Crossing New Horizons you can use a save editor (google kwsch/NHSE) to add this item to your inventory.

ps. Don't cheat, it's a nice game.

Classic Nintendo fan. Not enough content to satisfy, make your own entertainment.

Quite the opposite. So enthralling one obsesses over it and incorporates it into their own dreams and fantasy.

Nintendo is quite special. The Studio Ghibli of gaming.
