yesterday my game froze twice with codes on.....

i wanna know which code or combination of codes could be causing the freezing... so i can turn them off.


I have the following codes on-

- Stage builder codes (unlimited objects, overlapping)
- unrestricted pause camera
- no tripping
- infinite replays
- tags in replays
- custom music
- default settings when you turn on the game (3 stock etc...)
- the 4 codes needed for textures
- and the usual character textures i downloaded that i put on my pf/fighter folder
- Wifi Waiting Room stage unlocked


also my wii is 3.3 or 3.2, cant remember. but i dont think it'd matter

Are you going over the 256 line limit? Even if you did, the Wii would freeze when you try to load codes with Gecko OS.

Try taking out the stage builder codes.

The textures could be causing the freezing because you may be trying to load the textures too fast without letting it load. Also, install the "Disable Custom Stages" code and it might get rid of all the freezing.

I do have Disable Custom Stages code. I'll try disabling the Stage builder codes (overlapping,infinite)

The freezing happens randomly DURING matches.

I think it's the textures. My wii froze three times yesterday twice randomly in battle and once on the character select screen. Maybe they haven't worked ALL the bugs out of using textures from an sd card yet, cuz i dont see any other reason. Only codes I had on were unrestricted pause camera, infinite replays and replays with tags.

It could be the textures, but that's doubtful, as it's the first complaint I've heard of it. Also, TC, I couldn't find the Default Settings code, do you think you could post it?

Are you using any CSPs? I personally have had a few odd crashes when I attempted to replace my CSPs, so I've since disabled them.

Stage builder codes have caused freezing randomly on certain stages or even just when you pick them. I know for a fact that Corneria was a culprit in freezing with the stage builder codes. I suggest removing them and see how it goes. I don't think it's the textures UNLESS one of the textures is borked (which can happen) and thus, causes freezing.

I think what that guy said about textures not fully loading is what it is because we all have 1 similar code, and it's the textures. I propose we ask for a texture loading accelerator code or something if possible.

And Falco is right about some textures being screwed up, I had to ask him about an Ike one yesterday. It was a blue Ike which froze my Wii within 5 seconds of him being used and a green and black Wolf one on KittyCorp which froze the gameplay everytime you used neutral B. So some are F-ed up. Here's what you can do to reduce freezing from my experiences:

- Search for and discard any textures that are screwed up. (Gotta test them all, sorry D=)

- Try not to pick more than 3 same character at a time.

- Don't have everyone use random (Really loud freeze at a crew meeting Saturday because this was attempted).

- Have .pac files for characters who need them to function (See Falco's thread). You absolutely need these even though KittyCorp and StackSmash doesn't supply them a lot of the time. >_> Characters who need these off the top of my head, so forgive ne if I missed any. These characters are Zelda/Sheik, PT, Wario and Bowser (Don't even bother with his, he's just screwed up >_>).

Also try not to have a custom CSS as awesome as they are they cause the freezing also, I've heard. So that's my long and painful plus time consuming experience with this crap. lol It's a hard process esspecially when you're new to the hacking field but so **** rewarding so don't stress it, go to the Brawl+ chat for help as Falco400 has been of great help to me (Sorry if I was an annoyance xD). There you guys go, enjoy and hope I've been of help.

(Also support my texture code accelerator idea =D, because your Wii can freeze outta knowhere from it not having enough time to load.) =p

tl;dr: You're gonna have to read it, valuable information, at least I think.

I'm not sure it's the textures.

I'm not using them and my game also freezes.

I have theses codes activated (Total 111 lines /256 )

-Regular Zelda Icon
-CSS fixes for Samus/ZSS and Zelda/Shiek V2
-Independent Pokemon Engine +no wreck My Music V2
-CSS fixes for Giga and Company V2
-Custom CSS V3
-1 team matches
-ZSS and Sheik in Random
-WITH ANYONE - Team Battle Multiplayer
-All stage editor codes
-Load & Execute Codes from Snapshot v2
-Disable Custom Stages v1.1

When my game freezes, it always at the same place:
-When I clic BRAWL at the main menu (before character screen appears)
-At the end of a match (When I press start before returning to character screen)

It never crashed in game .

The custom CSS is causing this, in my post I said it and it's true that they are responsible for that because everyone experiences it with these codes. Sorry to say this to the both of you but as awesome as they are, turn off all the CSS (Character Selection Screen) codes. :(
