Important notes

Since this wiibrew application has not been tested extensively, please use cautiously and make sure you have a back-up of your savegame file. And by using this application, your savegame file could become corrupted or you could find problems when playing online.

Summary

DiiLC is a simple application to download and insert the DLC (downloadable content) or HDLC (hacked downloadable content) into Animal Crossing City Folk savegame file (use Waninkoko's savegame extractor for extracting savegame file). This application searches the DLC and HDLC files from the distributing servers. It could download and insert four DLCs (for US, EU, JP, and KR regions) and one HDLC that are available at the time when the application is running. It will process item, design and associated chosen letter from the downloaded file (either DLC or HDLC). User could choose to directly store the letter with item or design pattern into either the chosen player pocket and design slots (including global design slot in Able Sister's shop) or ask Wendell and Pete to deliver those.

Overview

After downloading and inserting the available HDLC at that time, each character in the game will get a letter with a present from Pete. Yes, Pete is now cooperating with this wiibrew maker. And yes, he is doing it without getting additional bells. So this application follows a similar mechanism for getting DLC in the game. This means that each character has to receive the letter/present from Pete, otherwise the town will not be ready for the next DLC (when it becomes available). Below is a set of pictures to show currently available HDLC being distributed by Pete in the game.

For DLC, this application only inserts the DLC data into appropriate areas in the savegame file. So do not expect to see Pete in front of your character's house giving your character a letter with a present after downloading/inserting DLC with this application.

If the designated area of the savegame file has already contained other DLC or HDLC, this application gives such an information, and automatically replaces that DLC/HDLC with the one that has just been downloaded. For each DLC/HDLC being inserted, users could see the name and corresponding hexcode (in square brackets) of that item.

In case you miss the distribution time of any DLC/HDLC, you could use EZ_DLC_Install tool (PC application maintained by DsPet) that is regularly updated to include all distributed DLC/HDLC.

Usage

At the beginning when running this application, the users could choose one of three actions by pressing a button on Wiimote:

Wiimote.svg Action
Wiimote A Button Downloading from the server the available DLC (from three regions) and inserting them into savegame file.
Wiimote B Button Downloading from the server the available HDLC and inserting it (along with the letter) into savegame file
Wiimote HOME Button Exiting without downloading DLC or HDLC

Once the choice is made, the application will simply run and provide information along the way and then exit by itself. Then users could use Waninkoko's savegame installer application for installing the file back from SD card to Wii.

Setting file content

To change the directories and filenames for savegame and temporary files, a file called dlcsetting.xml is automatically created in the SD card main folder (unless it is already there). This feature allows perhaps other regions' players to try using this application as well as to use other type of savegame file extractor/installer application.

It has the following default content (user could change it using any Wii homebrew text editor or PC text editor application):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<setting>
<savesdir>
       <sdirname>sd:/WIISAVES/RUUE/</sdirname>
       <sfilename>RVFOREST.DAT</sfilename>
</savesdir>
<tempdir>
       <tdirname>sd:/</tdirname>
       <tfilename>TEMP.DAT</tfilename>
</tempdir>
</setting>
