I wonder why the game has the ability to load roms from the memory card. I don't think that was said in the post, unless i missed it.

Was it for testing the nes games they included? Or some sort of memory card event they did?

There's a few good videos online about the N64 version of the game, and how it can load ROMs from memory cards as well:

Not sure if you are looking for some deep explanation. I can't tell based on the question. Anyway, animal crossing for the game cube has (had?) collectible items such as NES games, though they could only be played if you also had a console item. Basically, you could play NES games in animal crossing. The post seems to be mainly about hacking this part of the game to allow playing other games. As to why it has the ability? Idk? Because developers decided to include NES emulator as part of the ROM.

I read the post, it explains all of that and is not what I asked.
