Homebrew and Hackless Simultaneously

[leelue]

What exactly allows the hackless version to work, and if it is merely a file or two can I have that "thing" present on my sd card and still run it through hackless?

If I'm not mistaken, the only difference between the homebrew and the hackless versions are the stage select boot code that hackless has. I'm fairly sure you can run both on the same SD Card, but you can never go into stage creator on homebrew version or else the game will crash.

It's not a code, it's a custom stage closes/crashes the game and boots straight to homebrew on the SD card. If you go to it while in Project M you'll just go back to Gecko again.

oh ok
why isn't it on the homebrew version then? so that way it could all be one file?

Do you know the name of the stage file? I want to put it onto my game.

Because the homebrew one doesn't require the stage boot in order to run the game, since they already typically have Homebrew channel to sort through to get to Gecko. It's in the folder where custom stages are placed, should be the st folder in RSBE.

Yeah, I didn't mean code in the sense of it's part of the gct, I meant it in the sense that it's essentially a boot code that runs as a custom stage.

IIRC the exploit custom stage crashes at the SSS when custom stages aren't disabled, so vBrawl and other mods won't work with the SD card in. In other mods (and older versions of PM?) custom stages are enabled in homebrew codesets because people don't expect you to have Smash Stack in there.

The name of the custom stage shouldn't matter as long as Smash Stack is the only custom stage there. It won't do anything without the Smash Stack ready Gecko set-up in the Project M Hackless download though, so grab it and the other stuff in the SD card root unless you know how to set it up yourself.

With the Homebrew installation, you can play either vBrawl or P:M without ever having to remove the SD card. With hackless, vBrawl crashes on the SSS and stage builder doesn't function. It also makes things clean under the hood when the different installation methods are separate.

Alright, thanks

do you boot up both by going to stage builder?
