Project M Comprehensive Install and Troubleshooting Guide
For version: 3.5
Disclaimer: I, MaxThunder, am not part of the dev team. I'm just tech support.
Note: The Project M team does not support piracy, and the officially supported methods all require a legitimate copy of the game. Additionally, the Project M team does not support any modification to the Wii system, and encourages users to use the "Hackless" method of loading.
Full Set VS Wifi-Safe:
The Full Codeset takes advantage of all that Project M has to offer. However, for WiFi and replays to function properly, the WiFi-Safe set must be used. The WiFi-Safe set does not differentiate between L/R lightpress and full press of the Gamecube Controller's shoulder triggers, buffered dodges and jumps out of shield, Stock Control, Input Assist (3 frame buffer) or Stage Strike. It does, however, have an adjustable buffer setting that goes up to 10 frames. The PMDT recommends you play with the Full Codeset unless you're specifically using WiFi/Replays. You may switch between these two builds with the addons feature of the PM launcher, or simply by replacing RSBE01.gct, the menu2 folder, and the system folder.
Note: The root of the SD card is where you are when you have opened the card but not any folders on it.
