Help with mu_menumain.pac file:

I am trying to replace some files for textures and so forth in my mu_menumain.pac file, and none of my changes are registering on my Wii, however oddly enough, my customized menu still works like usual. The files I am trying to change are in the MenuRule_en > ModelData[0] > Textures(NW4R) sub folder. I've made sure all texture replacements were the appropriate file and scale size. I am not sure what the file limit is on the mu_menumain.pac file or the MenuRule.pac file, but I'd assume my Wii would freeze if I went over the file size limit, which it hasn't. It's like it is completely ignoring the MenuRule.pac folder.

I tried exporting the MenuRule.pac folder itself and throwing it on to the SD card, but that didn't work. I wasn't sure where to place it so I placed it in both the menu2 and pfmenu2 folders will no results. If it is supposed to be in another folder, I'm unaware of this.

Help, anyone?

MenuRule.pac is placed in the following directory on your SD card...

[SD drive]\private\wii\app\RSBE\pf\menu\main\

Also, that file is NOT compressed, but it is also found in sc_selcharacter2.pac, which IS compressed.

Now, in terms of which file is used when modifying the Group Mode rules...

*Main Menu - mu_menumain.pac
*Character Select - sc_selcharacter2.pac (Gecko OS) OR common5.pac (Riivolution)
*Tourney / Rotation - MenuRule.pac
