[GC] Trying to disable fur textures in Star Fox Adventures/Assault

[ArcadeDragon]

First off, I hope this is in the right section.

I've been trying to disable the fur texturing in Star Fox Adventures/Assault as my computer has a hard time rendering them during cut scenes/main menu (slows down massively, pot-luck if it crashes or not), but I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing; to be frank.
I've tried opening the .iso files for the games to see if I could delete the textures, with no luck as I couldn't figure out the file path for them.
I have thought of basically making my own texture pack for the games, just omitting the fur textures, but I don't know how to do that; and at this point I'm just frustrated because these two games where favs of my sister and I growing up, and I just want to enjoy them again.

I know for certain its the fur textures, because as soon as I actually get in-game everything works fine, as the in-game models don't have that fur texture. Also on the main menu when I go to audio/language settings the lag disappears completely after the camera pans to slippy/rob respectfully, also when I go to load a save there is a brief moment during the loading screen where Fox's fur texturing disappears, and the music picks back up to it's normal speed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried latest dev build to see if the issue persists? Also, your current specs are less than ideal for a good Dolphin experience: a processor designed for very lightweight tasks, low consumption and with a base frequency that low is a poor match for Dolphin´s considerable requirements.

The fur effect is not just a texture, so I'm not sure how easy it would be to remove.

I've updated to 5.0-11991, and have also enabled CPU clock override and have set it to 40% which has helped somewhat; now the majority of the lag only appears in close-ups of furred characters during cut scenes, but I haven't played enough with these settings to see if the there's still a chance to crash during cut scenes.

If it isn't a texture then it would have to be part of the models; I would be willing to edit the fur off the models myself, I would just need to figure out how to access them first.
