More Ripping

I've been working like mad lately to iron out model ripping on other fronts--namely Playstation and N64 games. Still no luck with PSX models, although I think I've tried all the extractors out there that are applicable: from plug-ins for the emulators, to Dx9 rippers, and even OpenGL rippers.

I'll add screenshots a little later (can't run the programs on my mac, and don't have access to win at the moment), but for now, I'll post the text details before I sign off tonight. Now going to work...

Also, I created the "Software" page (see the links above) to make all the programs I reference readily available. They can all be found there, in addition to the places cited in the guide. I hope this was all right to do (I wasn't sure). If anyone affiliated with these programs has a problem, my contact info is on the page. Please let me know and I'll take care of the issue as soon as possible.

Look for more details before the weekend ends; I don't have time to write them now, but I wanted to announce that it DID work. : p
