[ACNH Save Editor v1.3.0] Native Item Search, Expanded UI, and Instant Lookup! (No PC required)

Hey everyone! Just pushed a massive update to my native Switch ACNH Save Editor.

The biggest addition in v1.3.0 is the Native Item Search. You can now press + on the main menu, type in the Switch keyboard (e.g., "springy", "golden", "bell bag"), and instantly find the exact Item ID without ever needing to look up hex codes or use a PC!

Other v1.3.0 Highlights:

Expanded UI panel (900x480) so text doesn't overflow.

Optimized item database for instant name lookups.

Graceful "Quit App" button added.

Download & Source: https://github.com/cbreezy210/acnh-save-editor/releases/tag/v1.3.0

Always backup your saves before editing! Let me know what features you want to see in v1.4.0 (House Storage and Turnip Prices are on the roadmap!)

[Release] ACNH Save Editor v1.0.0 - Native Switch homebrew save editor

UPDATE (v1.1): A full graphical UI update is out now! See my reply below for the new download link.

### [RELEASE] ACNH Save Editor - Native Switch Homebrew Save Editor

Hey everyone! I’m excited to share the first public release of **ACNH Save Editor**, a native Nintendo Switch homebrew save editor for *Animal Crossing: New Horizons*.

Unlike older tools, this runs entirely on your console—meaning **no PC is needed** to modify your game! This started as an educational project built with devkitPro/libnx.

** UPDATED GitHub Repository & Download:** https://github.com/cbreezy210/acnh-save-editor/releases/tag/v1.3.0

---

###  Features
* **Direct NAND Access:** Reads and writes the live save data directly from and to your console's NAND. No manual dumping required!
* **Economy Editing:** Edits your Wallet and Bank Bells directly (handles encrypted ints and heals Murmur3 hashes automatically).
* **Pocket Item Injector:** Features a full English item-name lookup using the `items.txt` database from NHSE.
* **Safety First:** Performs an automatic SD card backup before every single NAND write to prevent data loss.

---

###  How to Install & Run

  1. Create a folder named `acnh_editor` inside the `switch` folder on your SD card (i.e., `sdmc:/switch/acnh_editor/`).
  2. Download and place both `acnh_editor.nro` and `items.txt` inside that folder.
  3. On your Switch Home Menu, highlight *Animal Crossing: New Horizons*, press **X**, and select **Close** to ensure the game isn't running.
  4. Launch a title while holding **R** to enter the Homebrew Menu with full RAM access.
  5. Select **ACNH Save Editor** and enjoy!

*Disclaimer: Even with the automatic SD backup feature, it is always good practice to keep an extra copy of your saves safe. Please report any bugs directly on the GitHub Issues page!*
