Interesting tangent on that tutorial: it seems that it was designed for people who were either new to Blender or were used to a different 3D program. Funnily enough, it uses the exact same version (2.79) as the Wind Waker modelling tool, which also assumed you were new to it

It's just as I thought: the hands holding the items are all their own unique models, though luckily I don't have to manually import them from the decomp for SoH this time. Bad news is that there are now two separate workflows for the same game

Luckily, I think I've found the source of the problems: my object_link_boy.blend file and manifest are really old! There are newer versions that were made somewhat recently:

And now this video tutorial makes a lot more sense:

Current issues:
- Hands are still the regular Link hands
- Randomizer crashes instantly
- LOD model isn't mentioned at all

I was specifically scanning these film reels, and thought for a second that they would be viewable

Also found this nice Mike Oldfield song while looking for the official link to the Guilty music video I used:

Apparently, the original gbatemp thread includes an ffmpeg command, but to my knowledge, there are no other instructional videos and I discovered the command used in this video myself. Either should work, and I also included a batch script to automate encoding every video in the ffmpeg directory

Same. Assuming your primary use for it is for game console repair/modding, soldering is probably the most versatile skill to have. Many seemingly irreparable issues come down to one or a few faulty, replaceable parts.

The PS1 laser isn't exactly powerful enough to run CD-Rs very well on its own, so I had to reduce the resistance in the potentiometer. It was originally 1,000 Ohms, and I tuned it to around 700. As with the Gamecube, this will lower the laser's lifespan, but it's at least usable

Using my newfound DVD-R powers, I can use FreeDVDBoot to run homebrew applications, which includes Memory Card Annihilator to read/write to memory cards. Since the PS2 can read and write PS1 cards, I was able to install an exploit on one and can now run burned PS1 discs
