brackenhawk's Animal Crossing Texture Pack

Introduction

The Animal Crossing HD texture pack project was started by TechieAndroid in 2016. It aims to redraw (not upscale) each texture by hand in order to play the game in full HD and beyond.

This game has a huge number of texture files (many thousands for all the hundreds of villagers, furniture and environment pieces), and redrawing calls for some artistic skill and flair, so the project relies on a community of texture artists, researchers, testers and other volunteers. This is a work-in-progress pack due to the amount of files, so if you’re feeling creative contributions are always welcomed!

The pack can be used with all Gamecube versions and languages of Animal Crossing on Dolphin (including + and e+) with proper setup. Primarily we use the NTSC version of Animal Crossing (sometimes called Population: Growing) for development - there are differences in some textures and filenames between versions, but we aim to provide support for these variations where possible.

How to set it up

1. In Dolphin, open File > Open User Folder, then go into Load/Textures/.
2. Extract the download there, so you end up with a Load/Textures/GAF/ folder (or GAE/ for another release).
3. Open Graphics > Advanced and tick Load Custom Textures. Ticking Prefetch Custom Textures too stops stutter, if you have the RAM for it.
