PUSH-UPDATE (v1.4): Favorites Overhaul & UI Polish — Paginated A–Z Favorites, 22-Item Roster & Embedded Homebrew Icon! v1.4.0 is out now! See my reply below for the new download link.
### [RELEASE] ACNH Save Editor - Native Switch Homebrew Save Editor
Hey everyone! I'm excited to share the latest update of **ACNH Save Editor**, a native Nintendo Switch homebrew save editor for *Animal Crossing: New Horizons*.
Unlike older tools, this runs entirely on your console—meaning **no PC is needed** to modify your game! This started as an educational project built with devkitPro/libnx.
**
UPDATED GitHub Repository & Download:** https://github.com/cbreezy210/acnh-save-editor/releases/tag/v1.4.0
---
###
Features
* **Direct NAND Access:** Reads and writes the live save data directly from and to your console's NAND. No manual dumping required!
* **Economy Editing:** Edits your Wallet, Bank Bells, Nook Miles, and House Loan directly (handles encrypted ints and heals Murmur3 hashes automatically).
* **Pocket Item Injector:** Features a full English item-name lookup using the `items.txt` database from NHSE. Search 13,000+ items by name with the native keyboard.
* **Paginated A–Z Favorites:** Press X to browse 22 curated items (NMTs, bell bag, voucher, 99k bells, gold roses, cherry-blossom petal, pearl, gold bars, all 6 golden tools, both crowns) sorted alphabetically with smooth page scrolling.
* **Embedded Homebrew Icon:** The leaf icon now shows in your Homebrew Menu instead of the default placeholder.
* **Safety First:** Performs an automatic SD card backup before every single NAND write to prevent data loss. One-tap ZL rollback to restore.

How to Install & Run
1. Download `acnh_editor_v1.4.0.zip` from the link above.
2. Extract the `switch` folder to the root of your SD card (creates `sdmc:/switch/acnh_editor/`).
3. On your Switch Home Menu, highlight *Animal Crossing: New Horizons*, press **X**, and select **Close** to ensure the game isn't running.
4. Launch a title while holding **R** to enter the Homebrew Menu with full RAM access.
5. Select **ACNH Save Editor** and enjoy!
*Disclaimer: Even with the automatic SD backup feature, it is always good practice to keep an extra copy of your saves safe. Please report any bugs directly on the GitHub Issues page!*
