# ACCF City Folk Deluxe - Hard Patch Guide

### No Riivolution needed | Works on vWii/Wii via USB Loader GX

This guide and script permanently patch Animal Crossing City Folk directly into the ISO — no Riivolution, no physical disc needed.

✅ Supported Versions:

EUR Rev0 (RUUP01)

⏳USA Rev0 (RUUE01)

🛑 I had to remove the script (USA Rev1) because it was causing too many problems (incorrect offset, etc.); I plan to replace it with version rev0 (because it's more stable).

*(Make sure to use the correct Python script for your game region!)*

🚀 Quick Start

Minimal steps to get started:

1. Extract your ISO

For EUR: wit extract RUUP01.iso ACCF_extract

For USA: wit extract RUUE01.iso ACCF_extract

2. Place files in the correct structure

3. Run the patch script

For EUR: python patch_accf_deluxe_eur_rev0.py

For USA: python patch_accf_deluxe_usa_rev0.py

4. Rebuild the game

wit copy ACCF_extract ACCF_Deluxe.wbfs --wbfs

---

## ⚠️ Important — Read before running the script!

The script will **NOT work** if you just download and run it anywhere.

You MUST place the script inside YourFolder/ with the correct structure:


YourFolder/                  <- Create this folder anywhere on your PC

├── patch_accf_deluxe.py     <- Your script goes HERE (EUR or USA version)

├── ACCF_extract/            <- Your extracted ISO (via WIT)

└── accf_deluxe/             <- Your mod files (from the Riivolution SD zip)

The script looks for files **relative to its own location** — if the folders are not next to the script it will fail with "File not found" errors.

💡 If your folders have different names, you can easily fix it by asking an AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT...):

"Can you modify this Python script to change the folder paths to match mine?"

Just paste the script and tell it your folder names.

⚠️ Requirements

Python 3.8 or newer

WIT (Wiimms ISO Tools)

Your own legally dumped ACCF ISO: EUR Rev0 (RUUP01) OR USA Rev0 (RUUE01)

ACCF Deluxe mod files (from the official mod page)

If you need a version adapted for JPN or KOR, open an Issue on this GitHub repo with your Game ID.

📁 Folder Structure Required

Depending on your region, the mod files inside accf_deluxe/game/ will have slightly different names. Do NOT rename any files manually — the script expects the official release names and handles everything automatically.

            └── P/                             <- PAL/EUR region scripts  //  E/ 

📋 What the script does automatically

  1. Patches main.dol:
  • Writes a hook at 0x8016B81C pointing to the custom loader.

  • Injects the Brewster loader binary directly into the DOL.

  • Injects wpadcl.bin as a new DOL section at 0x80001800.

  • Applies Classic Controller patches.

2. Copies mod folders to DATA/files/ replacing originals:

  • Standard assets: AddItem, Banner, FgObj, Item, Layout, Npc, Other.

  • Region-specific data: Prc (P.bin or E.bin) and Script folders depending on your region.

3. Copies module.kmdl to the root of DATA/files/ and automatically renames it to module.kmdl.
