Tool-Assisted Speedrun in 47 hours, 41 minutes, and 12 seconds (World Record), sped up just a bit for your convenience.

I wrote a script [1] that uses ffmpeg to convert arbitrary videos into sequences of GameCube controller events, then used a Raspberry Pi Pico to send those controller events to a real GameCube, inputting converted video frames into Animal Crossing's design editor pixel by pixel.

It took a painfully long time to film this. My code works reliably, but finding an app that could record the timelapse of my CRT for almost two days without crashing was (surprisingly) this project's biggest challenge (I ended up going with ProShot on iOS).
