How to Set Up Your Own GCT
By
SymphonicSage12
This guide will tell you how to make a text file of the codes you want for brawl, and then turn it into a GCT.
I'll first do a guide for the cheatmanager on Homebrew, and then one on the pc cheat manager.
But first, there will be a couple things you'll need:
NEEDED MATERIALS:
1.Notepad, Notepad++, or any program that can save text as a txt file
2.The Homebrew Channel, the latest version of the Homebrew browser, and the latest version of the Cheatmanager on the Homebrew Channel (the one with a green swishy logo, not WiiCm.)
3. Gecko OS on the Homebrew browser. v1.9.0.1 or later.
4.An SD Card (at least 1GB, don't go over 2GB), and an SD card reader/computer that can read SD cards
5.The codes you want, obviously
6.An official copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This is slightly obvious as well.
I have downloads for some of these materials at the bottom of the page.
Okay, so here are the steps:
Step 1. Open your text editing program (I use Notepad++), and make a new file.
Step 2. At the top of it, type the game ID for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Since I am in the U.S,
it is RSBE01 for me. For PAL, it's RSBP01. For Japan, it's RSBJ01.
Step 3. On the line right underneath that, type "Super Smash Bros Brawl" and then in parentheses right next to that
type (US) (PAL) or (JPN).
Step 4. Skip a line, and then type the title of your codeset. This can really be anything you want.
For example, "Brawlplusery Codeset v5.0 Beta"
Now is the time for the codes.
Step 5. Skip a line after the title, and type the category of codes in the section you want. This is optional,
but helps to organize your codes. What I mean by this is, for example, "Wii RD Codes" or "Cosmetic Stuff." If
you did this, now you need to skip a line after the category title and then put the code in.
Step 5 v2: Skip a line after the title of the codeset, and then put the code in.
NOTE: All codes need a title the line before the code. For example, you can't just put XXXXYYYY XYXYXYXY in the text file. You need a title for it
the line before, like so:
Unrestricted Camera (made by Person X) (x amount of lines)
XXXXYYYY XYXYXYXY
^^^^ The above code is simply an example.
Step 6. Now that you have all your codes formatted correctly, you need to save the text file.
Since this is brawl+, name it RSBE01 (or RSBP01 or whatever, depending on your region).
Step 7. Create a folder on the root of your SD card called "txtcodes" . Put the RSBE01 text file
you just saved into here. Don't put anything else in here just to be safe.
Step 8. Load up the homebrew channel, and load up the Cheatmanager. press a on the wiimote to load up the text file.
Step 9. Press the plus button on the codes you want to activate. Once you're done selecting, Press 1 to generate the gct file.
NOTE 2: Makes sure you have a "codes" folder on the root of your sd card. This is where the gct that is generated will go to.
Load up Gecko OS on homebrew, and enjoy!
PC CODE MANAGER GUIDE:
Step 1. Get the text file ready in the same way as the first manager. Only this time, you need a code manager
for the computer. You can find the download to it in the downloads and resources section.
Step 2. Open the code manager, and select to open a text file; Open the one you made.
Step 3. Check the box on the left for each code you want activated. Once you're done selecting,
click "Export to GCT", and the gct should appear in the codes folder on the root of your SD card.
Load up Homebrew, and then Gecko OS, and enjoy!
This is for the Q&A section. This is where I will answer some questions that might be asked
frequently.
Q: How do I get the Homebrew Channel, browser, Gecko OS 1.9.1, and the Cheatmanager on the browser?
A: I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to help you with this. It's against this board's rules.
Q: Can I put the codes in a Microsoft Word document instead of Notepad or Notepad++?
A: Yes, but remember to save it as a txt file. The default is a .doc file, I believe.
Q: I can't find __________ code anywhere. Can you help me?
A: Try the code requests thread. It might takes several hours for someone to answer you.
Q: Does Brawl need to be in the Wii to start up Gecko OS?
A: Yes. Otherwise it will say "No DVD found."
THIS WILL BE UPDATED AS MORE QUESTIONS ARE ASKED.
