NHSM v1.0.0-alpha​

java_g9UMS3duHv.png

I probed for interest a few weeks ago in a Yuzu subreddit about an app. I started making something to solve a problem - Animal Crossing: New Horizons does not support more than one island, and swapping out saves manually is a pain. Therein comes NHSM, an open-source project (GPLv3 license) over on Github if you're interested in contributing: https://github.com/anon34342122/nhsm

Download​

https://github.com/anon34342122/nhsm/releases/tag/v1.0.0-alpha

What it is​

NHSM supports Yuzu and Ryujinx emulators and you can switch between either depending on your preference.

No more being restricted to one island in Animal Crossing, nor manually swapping save files within hard-to-find save directories. NHSM will automate all of this for you at the click of a few buttons!

NHSM works by storing your islands in a separate NHSM "islands" directory found in your user home, and when you want to use a particular island save it will swap out the local save on your selected emulator with the one in your islands directory. This release also includes integrated NHSE (New Horizons Save Editor) support!

Instructions​

java_GCEYh32ae5.png

- Very important! As this is the first alpha release, please backup your islands frequently while using this application. It has many unit tests to verify that it works as expected, but I have not tested manually on many different machines.
- Either use one of the installers below to install the application, or extract the directory from the "No-Installer" zip file and run it directly.
- When you first run NHSM, you will be prompted with two different emulators to use: Ryujinx and Yuzu. Choose the one of your preference.
- Yuzu has a static directory structure for saves, so the app is able to automatically find your current ACNH save for you.​
- Ryujinx unfortunately requires a manual locate of the save directory. I have tried my best to include instructions in the app of how to find it, and the "Locate Save Directory" file chooser will do its best to default you to the base directory within Ryujinx to help you find it.​
- You can also select a language in the emulator selection menu.
- Currently, it has support for English and a really poor google translate version of Japanese. I plan to get this re-translated properly in the future.​
- Once you've selected an emulator, press "Manage Islands" and you will be taken to an island manage menu.
- From here you can do many things: create new islands, duplicate islands, edit island names, open an island with NHSE ("Save Editor" button), etc.​
- Now we can begin to choose which island you want your emulator to run. Before that, make sure you are not running ACNH before switching out islands.​
- To switch out which island save your emulator is using, simply select an island in your "Islands" list and click the button "Swap Local" . This will swap the two saves. When you open up the game again, you'll find that you are using the other island!​

Platforms​

Full Support:
Windows

Partial Support:
Linux and Mac.

While they build successfully and all tests pass, Linux and Mac have not been tested yet, so try them above at your own risk. After some confirmation of its stability, I will mark them as fully supported. Please feel free to give feedback in Discussions to let me know how well they work on those platforms.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
