Nintendogs Deluxe is an unofficial patch for all first-generation Nintendogs games. It was created as a self-imposed challenge to develop a small mod within only seven days. It can be played on any homebrew-enabled DS or 3DS console. Full setup information can be found below. This page also contains full references for unlockables, gift items and shop items.
The mod provides an enhanced yet faithful way to replay the original Nintendogs by creating a single game that includes the content from all versions such that no external needs are necessary complete the entire game.
First, make sure you have a ROM file of any first-generation Nintendogs game. All you have to do is apply the correct VCDIFF file to the ROM file of the desired game using the XDelta patcher. The table below shows which patch file you'll have to use.

For Deluxe, the item generation rates for gift boxes were adjusted such that all items are now available in a single game. Some items are no longer found in gift boxes to make room for the newly available items. The game selects from different item pools depending on whether the gift box was found on a walk or by a runaway dog that returned home. In the tables below, the number of stars indicate an item's rarity. One star indicates a common item whereas three stars indicate a very rare item.
