I replaced Animal Crossing's dialogue with a live LLM by hacking GameCube memory

Here's the code: https://github.com/vuciv/animal-crossing-llm-mod

I was intrigued as to how it would intercept a conversation and then pause the game for long enough for the LLM to return a response, so I used https://gitingest.com/vuciv/animal-crossing-llm-mod to dump the 40,000 tokens into Claude Opus 4.1 and asked it: https://claude.ai/share/66c52dc8-9ebd-4db7-8159-8f694e06b381

The trick is the watch_dialogue() function which polls every 0.1 seconds and then answers with placeholder text: https://github.com/vuciv/animal-crossing-llm-mod/blob/cc9b6b...

  loading_text = ".<Pause [0A]>.<Pause [0A]>.<Pause [0A]><Press A><Clear Text>"
  write_dialogue_to_address(loading_text, addr)

So the user gets a "press A to continue" button and hopefully the LLM has finished by the time they press that button.

Do you try trick your calculator by entering large sums that it might not have been programmed to answer?
