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.

Looks to me like a Windows UI or one that was influenced by Windows.

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

There was a hardware boot ROM exploit a while ago that enabled arbitrary code execution, and I am presuming that is allowing the ROM dump.

Yes, there's already emulators able to run the game (if barely and not really playable)[1] [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EdJ2dfL9S8

Well that's a 2500U, almost nothing but the simplest games are playable on that chip.

This one looks more playable albeit still very choppy.

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.

I saw it for sale in the shop for 70k bells

This is why I visit HN, the little side projects like this are simply delightful. This is however not rendering anything but the controls on mobile so I will have to take your word for it.

Hunh, that’s strange. Works fine on my iPhone. What are you running?

Firefox Fennec on Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Android 10

Desktop Firefox works fine.

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

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.

I'm pretty objective since I've beaten every Zelda and I can't agree. Their games just aren't at the same level as anything modern.

They use a big marketing budget to push their otherwise medicore platform.

Although I think n64 was decent.
