FAQ

Q. Does this work with M3 .dat files too?

Yup, sure does.

Q. Do you have some .acww files for us to play around with?

Sure. These patterns were taken from the animalxing.com pattern database. Credit goes to the original creators.

Q. Do you have a copy of the special nintendo letters?

It's the reason the letter editor is created. This zip includes the Iwata newyear letter, the nintendo europe easter letter, and the nintendo usa easter letter. All unopened, ofcourse.
