So far, I just finished ripping some Backyard Football (GameCube) characters of Achmed, Amir, Angela, Annie (not ripped by me, thanks to Marti), Pablo, Reese, and a football, because no one wants to rip or never rips these models before. I used both 3D Object Converter (I converted LFG to OBJ), and filled all the holes with Blender (the reason, when exporting the models with 3D Object Converter, it exports with holes saying that it's unregistered, so I filled the holes myself). And this is the progress I've done so far. But, I did another alternative way, and takes a short process. Thanks to Boxy, I used both Notepad++ & OpenOffice Calc to reformat LFG model files into OBJ files.
Progress:
- Achmed Khan: 100% (Updated with new OBJ file, and helmet)
- Amir Kahn: 100% (Updated with new OBJ file, and helmet)

I don't know what to do next, if I wanted to apply these textures (I just dumped the PNG texture files using the Dolphin emulator), to those characters for correct skin color, body color, eyes, body textures, mouths, clothes, expressions, sizes, and positions. (Here's the link for the textures: https://mega.nz/file/z3ZxwSqK#R-En8JbA8q...IDjjjT6dqU).
And also, more characters will be in progress soon. So be patient, and don't expect it to be finished any time soon. Unless if you want to help, then let me know in the replies below.
Update (06.01.25): The rest of Billy Jean's body was complete, except for these gaps near bottom sides of the pants & shoes. I don't know if these need to fill the holes on the inside out.
Update (06.02.25): Heeeeere's Chuuuck! A commentator of the BFL, commentating with Sunny Day since Backyard Football '99. And it's funny, because he has no legs in the game (probably hiding under the table), but his full legs was shown in NFL Backyard Basics. Therefore, Chuck Downfield is complete.
Update (06.05.25): ¡Un modelo actualizado! Meaning, the Pablo Sanchez model is now updated! Thanks to Boxy, who taught me how to reformat to OBJ, by editing in the programs both Notepad++ & OpenOffice Calc (explained in this thread (https://www.vg-resource.com/thread-43597-page-2.html)), and I finally got myself a new, improved and smooth (Gouraud Shading) Pablo OBJ file.
Update (06.08.25): ¡Ya tengo mi casco! Or I got my helmet (in Pablo's terms)! I finally completed Pablo's helmet converted in OBJ from Backyard Football (GameCube)! Looks like I'm starting to get the hang of converting LFG files to OBJ files, thanks to Boxy!
Update 2 (06.08.25): From a distant galaxy comes an alien overlord. Lord Reese "Planet Eater" Worthington! Lol jks It's Reese Worthington, now available in new, improved, and smooth OBJ, now with Reese's helmet! And as a bonus, the new smooth football OBJ has landed on the field!
Update (06.09.25): I rock, dude! The rockstar Khan brothers, Achmed Khan & Amir Khan are now rocking with the new updated smoother OBJ files! But not only them, but also with Angela Delvecchio, Tony's sister! She gets an new OBJ file too! As she'll say to him "Hey Tony, who's new & smooth now?". Helmets for Achmed, Amir, and Angela are available as well!
Update 2 (06.09.25): Annie Frazier is now available in a new smooth OBJ file with her helmet, this time done by me!
Update 3 (06.09.25): Billy Jean's not my lover! (not to steal from Michael Jackson anyway). But, Enfin! Finally, the Billy Jean Blackwood model is now in French fashion with the new OBJ file with her helmet! And other than that, heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Chuuuuuuuck! ...Again. Chuck Downfiled is also available in the new smooth OBJ file being commentated by me!
Update (06.10.25): I'm hungry after all that converting. But here is Dante Robinson now available in a new OBJ file, with his helmet!
Update 2 (06.10.25): Eureka! My calculations are complete! The Dmitri Petrovich LFG can convert to OBJ, which is now available in a new & smooth OBJ file! And don't forget his helmet for safety protection!
Update 3 (06.10.25): My converted OBJ model turned out very ugly... NOT! Hyuk! Hyuk! Hyuk! His tall skinny legs, and funnybones guy named Ernie Steele is laughing out with the new & smooth OBJ being available in his stand up jokes! And speaking of which... Knock Knock! Who's there? Helmet. Helmet? Helmet you with a scoring touchdown! Hyuk! Hyuk! Anyways, his helmet is available too.

Update (06.11.25): I DON'T FAIL! ...At least I didn't. But I did succeed in the new Jocinda Smith model, now converted into a new OBJ file, with her helmet! She's all MVP!
Update 2 (06.11.25): He doesn't like to get himself dirty, but likes to be rich & clean! In fact, Jorge Garcia is really going "Bonkers", having to be converted to a new OBJ file, which he's now available with his helmet for protection!
Update 3 (06.11.25): Yo! Mr. K-Man in wheelchair, aka Kenny Kawaguchi has arrived! His legs might not be working, but he's competitivee in sports as well, and his other dream is being a DJ.

Update 4 (06.11.25): Heeeeeeere's Kiesha! That's the impression parodied from John from The Shining! Kiesha Phillips got the guts, and muscle power to compete in every sport there is! She's now available in a new OBJ file with her helmet! Hasta la vista, baby!
Update 5 (06.11.25): I definitely deserve a candy bar for that one! Kimmy Eckman the candy monster eating machine is now available in the sweet flavor of OBJ on the model file, and with a bonus, her helmet! Does anyone have a candy bar for her?
Update 6 (06.11.25): *sigh* It's Lisa. Lisa "Mad Dog" Crocket. But whatever, here's the new Lisa Crocket OBJ & her helmet. All this talking is wearing me out (I'm speaking in Lisa's terms by the way).
Update (06.12.25): Who's the giww with the cute cutie-wootie-teddy-weddy? It's Luanne Lui! She's now hugging with a teddy bear (as a backpack), now available in a new OBJ file, with her helmet! Don't you think she & teddy were cute?
Update 2 (06.12.25): 4 Models converted to OBJ for the price of 1! First up, we got Maria Luna, who's a pink loving girl who want's every uniform to be pink on all teams! Second is Marky Dubois, whose farm boy was being called "Cootie" for some reason... Third is Mikey Thomas, who has a cold everyday, but loves to eat bugs, Zoom Zip! And last but not least, and not a kid, was Mr. Clanky. A robot, who's also being constructed to compete in sports, most notably as a baseball player, or a goal keeper! All 4 models are available in new OBJ files with helmets!
Update (06.13.25): Uhhh... what am I doing with this action figure again? Oh, that's right! This kid named Pete... Wheeler, whose some people say was the dumb one, and also... he can run really fast, but it's not even a direct competition. So here's the Pete Wheeler new OBJ file, with his helmet... I guess... Mmm, duh...
Update 2 (06.13.25): 3 in 1! We have Ricky Johnson whose shy, nervous, and apologetic behavior led to him revolve around sports, in which he's still competitive at that time ...if that's okay with you. Next up is Ronny Dobbs, Sally's little brother who's not a crybaby and proves to grow up to be a big man! And speaking of Sally, yep, Ms.The Boss herself, Sally Dobbs, who keeps the teammates in a proper position, like an adult (also, she's a bully to Ronny). Ricky, Ronny, and Sally are now available in new OBJ files with helmets! There are 6 more Backyard Kids to go!
Update 3 (06.13.25): I am a bit confused! Which twin is which? Well of course, there's Ashley Webber & Sidney Webber, both of which are the Webber twins! Their available in new OBJ files, and helmets! But notice the names on the OBJ files, that there two different first names of those same models. One is Ashley and one is Sidney, along with the helmets that also had different first names of the Webber twins. 4 More Backyard Kids to go!
Update 4: (06.13.25): Here's Stephanie Morgan! Whose dream is for her to become a professional baseball player. Her favorite sport, by far the most, is baseball. But she competes in other sports too! Stephanie is now available in a new OBJ file with her helmet! 3 More Backyard Kids to go!
