Contains implausible claims about legacy console Mii export, treat feature list with skepticism.
This repository describes itself as a companion tool for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, aiming to link a player's island data across a Windows desktop app, a Nintendo Switch, and older Nintendo consoles including the N64, SNES, and DS. The README frames it as a bridge rather than an emulator, built around a JSON based "profile" file that is meant to hold villager, island, and Mii character data pulled from save exports. The README lists a Windows desktop app called Island Mirror, described as a lightweight viewer for island layout, villager activity, turnip prices, and museum completion, built with Electron. It claims a built in tracker for fish, bugs, fossils, and art collection progress, and a turnip price predictor that would use OpenAI and Claude APIs to forecast in game market trends. Some claims in the README, such as exporting Mii character data from the Nintendo 64 and SNES, describe hardware and features those consoles never actually had, so readers should treat these parts of the description with real skepticism. The document also describes a "Mii Time Capsule" feature for converting and sharing Mii data between consoles, and lists compatibility across Windows, a partial macOS profile viewer, a Linux terminal tracker, and various legacy Nintendo hardware. Example configuration shows a JSON profile with player, villager, and tracker fields, plus placeholders for OpenAI and Claude API keys, and a sample command line invocation for launching the desktop app with a chosen profile and prediction mode. Given the implausible legacy console claims and the promotional tone throughout, this README reads more like marketing copy than a description of working software. No source code, installation package, or license was visible in what was reviewed, so anyone interested should look for the actual codebase and verify functionality before trusting any of these claims.
