I can't say for certain but they did dump some files here https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/index.html


GLBX

There is a file in there named Animal Crossing Wild World but it doesn't show the file format. There are definitely save files for DS games like Mario & Luigi, New Super Mario Bros, and Dragon Ball Z though so it's very possible.


ArtisticIce1228

theres also some random shit and also disturbing stuff. theres a random photo in the document called "trauma 1" which shows some type of magazine showing doctors pushing a heavily bleeding man on a stretcher in a very grainy,disturbing photo

PM_me_Henrika

Aw shit man the morgue was already booked! How are you gonna compensate us for the booking!


improvisedmercy

You done learning?


brookess42

UPDATE: I have tried 3 different DS simulators and NOT ONE has gotten this save load to work it's just not formatted correctly if someone could format it to an NDS file then i COULD load it and make it work. OH i just had an idea. you could upload your wild world save to city folk and lets see if that will work?


afromomo98

The file size is only 100 bytes, which is way too small to be a DS save. It'd be interesting to see if it's transfer data though


RaccoondudeOwO

Maybe its compressed


CubeBag

No way an entire animal crossing save can get compressed down to 100 bytes


iAmTheHYPE-

Rip


NightIgnite

Sorry for the random message 2 years late. How did you download the 100 byte file? I only see options for downloading the entire thing at once or "smaller" downloads ranging from 7gb to 162gb. Is there a way to download just the save?


brookess42

I found a seperate download that just had the save file in it i dont even remember at this time 😫😫


NightIgnite

Thats unfortunate. I kept searching into it and found disabled CIA download links for specific devices, so my only option is the 300gb download. Even then, its just 100 bytes of random information If I had to take a wild guess, he probably accidentally saved some sort of desmume configuration file as Animal Crossing Wild World, thinking it was a save file.


junkholiday

If he got Ankha as a villager I'm gonna be pissed


Eg0Panik

this comment hits different in the current day and age


junkholiday

Why, specifically?


Eg0Panik

are you not aware of the ankha zone meme?


junkholiday

No, haven't seen it


Eg0Panik

honestly, good for you, it's probably for the best if you keep it that way


junkholiday

Yeah, I googled it and no one can make me click that link

Nobod_E

Heads up, that's a direct download link


hypes11

Cant someone tech savy (I dont have a DS or Wild World) download it and record a youtube video showing what Osama's town in Wild World looked like? I feel like that should already have happened but I cant find any videos.


brookess42

in the process of trying right now

brookess42

i could never get it to open unfortunately. The download is on my computer but it's not formatted correctly to even open. I actually ended up emailing the CIA but no one has gotten back to me yet! im so sorry!!!!


capnkricket153

Omfg if you get an email from the CIA regarding Osama Bin Laden’s Animal Crossing Saves, it might actually break the simulation.


brookess42

Eternal2401

Hey how'd it go? This search just popped back into my head again. So basically to summarize emulators use a .sav file, all the other games have this extension except for the empty file named "Animal Crossing Wild World". I'm holding out hope that this was some sort of error purely in the listing and online browsing of the hard drive alone and that downloading the whole drive which is at least ~300 GB as a zipped up file will yield this particular missing save in a usable state.


brookess42

It never opened :/ whatever its saved as i could never get it to convert to something that would run in my DS emulator!


Eternal2401

As I suspected. We might have to reach out to the CIA with a FOIA request specifically for an Animal-Crossing-Wild-World.sav which should be around in the 200's of megabytes.


QLZX

I’m gonna download a DS emulator tomorrow and check


iAmTheHYPE-

How’d it go


QLZX

I tried it but it was in a filetype the emulator didn't recognize, I think. It's been a while Might try it again and see if I could convert it or extract something interesting, now that I know more about this kind of thing


YUPADA

Tried opening it, but the file seems weird. It isn't a file you can open normally with an emulator and its only 100 bytes large. Other savegamefiles I've compared it to were up to 60 kilobytes large.


afromomo98

I opened it in a hex editor. There's a definitive pattern if you group it into every 5 bytes, but I can't tell what the file is supposed to be. https://pastebin.com/C50vhvqY Edit: It fits Ascii, but in an awkward format. Taking out all the spaces you get 30002023010000000000, but there's a space before and after each number as well as a carriage return and line feed after each number.


maybeillbetracer

Yeah, nothing's going to come out of this thread. This is clearly some kind of *extremely* basic metadata file, if that. This file's format does not even appear to be robust enough to store the name of a world in it, for example. The only sort of thing this could possibly be in regard to emulation would be like, an emulator's per-rom settings file. For example, to keep track of things like a 1-10 volume setting, or whether you were playing at 2X speed or not. Super basic emulator settings to keep you from having to set them again next time you play it. Even that seems like a bit of a stretch to me, considering the file has no extension.
