Apparently there is a program that can check out all angles of the Punch-Out!! Wii models? Dolphin, I think that's what it's called? How does that work? What are the system requirements for it? And is there anyone who does have it available to help me?
I don't think my laptop can support it if it's for the computer, but I would like to ask for help for anyone who can grab those spiffy screencaps of the game at different camera angles. It's for my Great Tiger pagg tutorial/study. From what I observed of the game model, the pagg's lahrs make no directional sense--some seem to criss-cross horizonally all over the crown of the head, suggesting the turban is a cap with a cloth tucked/sewn beneath then wrapped around the head (as opposed to the actual Sikh pagg, which wraps around the head at certain angles before it's tucked behind the lahrs before covering the crown of the head without the need of a cap to hold it in place). It's nitpicky, yes, and I have no doubt non-Indians wouldn't be bothered by this, but it bothers me because I have such deep respect for Sikhs and the Sikh turban (and Indian culture in general). It's like trying to deal with an incorrectly worn kimono or hanbok or other mode of dress. It's a small detail, but as an Asian who is used to being under/misrepresented in popular media, it still bothers me.
