Hi all, this started as a little project to make a GUI version of all those Brawl ISO mod builder scripts floating around, but when I found out Project M 3.6 and beyond don't really work right, I started to look into why that is, and attempted to fix it. There is definitely still work to do on this, but I'm releasing it because I've been working on it for quite a while and it now
mostly works
Anyway, without further ado, I announce,
BrawlBuilder - The Ultimate SSBB ISO Builder
Screenshot:
So, this is BrawlBuilder, a GUI to build modded Brawl ISO images. It is compatible with many Brawl mods, though definitely not all. It for sure works with all version of Project M (yes, even 3.6), and even some custom builds, such as Psycho Ghost's 3.6 build. (Legacy M 1.21, however, is not currently working).
The main selling point of this, imo, is that it
works with alternate stages, as well as the replacement soundbank engine. That means that any .sawnd files you have in your sfx folder will work properly, as well as any alternate stages you have! Amazing!
Also, there are a few extras features included, free of charge! You can remove the Subspace Emissary from the output image, reducing the size by a few GB. You can also change the game ID and title, as well as specify a custom banner file.
Unfortunately it's not all good news, there are currently some problems. Any mods that make use of BrawlEx don't seem to run (I don't know for sure that it is BrawlEx causing the problems, just a guess). That means recent versions of Brawl- don't currently work, although I am working on it. Also, like I said, not all Project M builds work. Legacy M, for example, does not. Hopefully this can be fixed in the future.
Anyway, I guess I should give you all a download link. Oh also, I suppose I should mention that this is all open source. Yay!

IMPORTANT INFO: Some people are having issues with this right now. The most common culprit seems to be unclean Brawl rips that wit doesn't like. You can verify your ISO by using something like
this to calculate the sha1 and md5 hashes, which should match one of the sets of hashes on the bottom of
this page. If they don't then you should try re-ripping, or re-obtaining your Brawl ISO. Additionally, as of version 1.1, you can launch BrawlBuilder with the
--show-wit-debug option to view the actual wit windows, and keep them open after wit exits. This can be very helpful if something is going wrong and you can't figure out why.
And that is pretty much it. This is my first time releasing anything on these forums, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
