Can you point me to the website that you used? I spent a bit of time googling but the only one that I'm able to come up with is:

http://acuc.multiverseworks.com/accg/index.php

The problem is that the item list link is busted (some PHP syntax error).

I was also trying to find the original command line generator by MooglyGuy without any success.

that's the one I used to use. It used to work (at least in early 2009 it still did)

It looks like you can still get the code generator to work by looking at the itemlist.php source.
itemlist.php wrote: ///////////////
// NES Games //
///////////////
$itemlist[0x1DA8] = "NES - Clu Clu Land";
$itemlist[0x1DAC] = "NES - Balloon Fight";
$itemlist[0x1DB0] = "NES - Donkey Kong";
$itemlist[0x1DB4] = "NES - DK Jr MATH";
$itemlist[0x1DB8] = "NES - Pinball";
$itemlist[0x1DBC] = "NES - Tennis";
$itemlist[0x1DC0] = "NES - Golf";
$itemlist[0x1DC4] = "NES - Punchout";
$itemlist[0x1DC8] = "NES - Baseball";
$itemlist[0x1DCC] = "NES - Clu Clu Land D";
$itemlist[0x1DD0] = "NES - Donkey Kong 3";
$itemlist[0x1DD4] = "NES - Donkey Kong Jr";
$itemlist[0x1DD8] = "NES - Soccer";
$itemlist[0x1DDC] = "NES - Excitebike";
$itemlist[0x1DE0] = "NES - Wario's Woods";
$itemlist[0x1DE4] = "NES - Ice Climber";
$itemlist[0x1DE8] = "NES - Mario Bros";
$itemlist[0x1DEC] = "NES - Super Mario Bros";
$itemlist[0x1DF0] = "NES - Legend of Zelda";
$itemlist[0x1DF4] = "NES Console";
So by inputing one of the hex codes (e.g, 0x1DDC), I was able to generate a code. I'll have to try it out. I just noticed that PHP seems to be based on perl which is a language that I know. I'll have to download the PHP source and see if I can figure out the syntax error.

Also, the original Windows program can be downloaded from

According to another thread, supposedly there's a code generator on Nintendo's animal crossing website but I don't see it.

I was able to get the NES codes to work so I have 6 NES games to play with. Pretty cool concept. Seems that I can only get 3 games at a time before Tom Nook runs out of them.
The other lame thing about Animal Crossing is that Tom Nook's store has certain hours. I had played it around 11pm last night and I find that the store is closed (hours are like 9am-9pm). Lame. I had to doctor the time settings on my cube in order to play it.

You know that you can change the time in the game from the options screen at the start? That way, you're only doctoring Animal Crossing and not all of your time-based games.

If you get Zelda or Super Mario to work let me know. I don't want to spend money on Action Replay just to get those games.
Thanks everyone...

from what I've read, neither of those games can be gotten through code-generation.

It would be kind of cool if someone were to reverse-engineer the GBA-GC protocol so that you could make some sort of USB<->GC cable and run a program on the PC side to mimic the reader. I can't imagine the protocol be that complicated.

For all that effort, it's probably easier to go the Action Replay route or to use Wiinrd/GCnrd.
