Freezing on Custom SSS

I am having trouble using custom stage icons and portraits with 37 extra stages using Mewtwo 2000 tutorial. The game freezes before I get to the SSS. I think it is because the common5.pac is 11.8mb which is over it's size limit. If I take out the misc80 (which has the extra icons) it stops freezing and just shows hanebow and pks2 as the icons. Is there a way to make the size smaller or any other solution the would stop the freezing?

Make the images smaller.
MenSelmapPrevbase images are normally 176x176, but you can use any size you want, like 128x128 for example.
MenSelmapFrontStname images are 208x56, but I squish mine horizontally to 104x56. The game stretches them out automatically.
You can also replace MenSelmapMark and/or MenSelchrMark images with 4x4 black squares.

Okay, so maybe reducing the image file size will reduce the overall size of the common5. I didn't think of that, but uhhhh it took me like 2 hours to replace all the files and now I have to make them smaller. Thanks a whole bunch, hopefully it will work.
Edit: The file size did get smaller but it still freezes.
