Smash Stack does that. Rename your private folder and you'll be ok I think.

Well, this could be many things.

If you could please specify some more for us, it'd be helpful.

Do you only have character texture hacks? For me, bad character textures only freeze when I enter a stage, not when I load a stage. Have you downloaded any Stage hacks as well? Check them.

Another important thing: Do you have the File Patch Code saved as a .gct file on your SD card? You need to have that code on there if you're going to join the hacking scene.

You should have two folders on the root of your SD card for Brawl hacking. (Of course you can have more, but these two are required to do anything Brawl-hack related)

These two folders are:
F:\codes
AND
F:\private

For the codes folder, you must have your .gct file in there for it to run with Gecko.

As for the private folder, that will hold all of your files for Brawl and other wii files.

Character textures should be placed under: F:\private\wii\app\RSBE\pf\fighter\(Name of fighter)

Stage hacks should be placed under: F:\private\wii\app\RSBE\pf\stage\melee

I hope this helps you, if not, please answer all the questions above and I'll see what else I can do.

 

[Rawkhawk]

Yes i have all those folders and i have the phantom wings code and i got a geno hack that worked but i had to select a stage very fast for it not to freeze. and i got a waluigi hack from a guy named chibo and same thing with the geno hack i have to choose a stage very fast. and walugi is made from red alloy and when im using the hack it works for 5 seconds then stops. Also i know that this has nothing to do with this but how do you edit GCT files

 

[Weldar-Kazooie]

Answer these questions for me please:

1. Do you have any custom stages?

2. (If yes to 1.) Are you selecting these stages when they freeze?

3. Do you have a custom SSS?

4. Do you have a custom CSS?

5. Does it freeze when you access the menu or when you select a stage?

 

[Wild ARMs]

I have the same problem with my textures. It only freezes when I select a stage.
I've been up all night trying to figure this out and I'm beyond annoyed.
It's so confusing...
So if I want to download this texture for Wolf:
http://www.mediafire.com/?nidnm3mjjqm
I have to extract all the files(Or just the pcs?), and the directory should look like:

private>wii>app>rsbe>pf>fighter>wolf>FitWolf05.pcs (assuming I want to replace his fifth color)

The real confusion for me is, do I have to make a new folder called FitWolf05.pcs and put the files THERE, or just put them under wolf?
My Wii freezes at stage select every time. I don't have any custom stages ON MY CONSOLE, I choose Final Destination, I don't have any stage textures, and I only try one character texture at a time.
What is wrong?

 

[MrBlueSky]

If your loading Gecko OS through the Smash Stack custom stage exploit, the game will crash if you don't have this code...

Disable Custom Stages
046B841C 48000040

Add that code to the .gct and tell me if it still crashes.

Or confirm that you are loading Gecko through the homebrew channel. You left out that information.

 

[Wild ARMs]

Yes, I am loading through Gecko OS.
I'll try this out...

EDIT: Success. Thank you very much.

 

[Xiao-Xiao]

My stage menu freezes as well and I have never run into this problem after using hacks for like a year now. None of the advice given works =/ I don't even have a custom SSS or anything it just freezes before i even pick a stage

 

[pikalax1]

Do you have the BootMii stage hack in your folder private\wii\app\RSBE\st? If so delete it. When you go to the stage selection screen, it automatically tries to read custom stages. An invalid stage (such as the one that came with BootMii) can cause a noisy lock-up.

 

[Marth_7]

rename it to what because i have the same problem

 

[Marth_7]

Smash Stack does that. Rename your private folder and you'll be ok I think.

But rename to what though???

Sorry if i double posted

 

[SSBBnoob]

I have a big problem. my game freezes when i select brawl. Does anyone know why i can give more details if needed.

 

[Gaikan]

Answer these questions for me please:

1. Do you have any custom stages?

2. (If yes to 1.) Are you selecting these stages when they freeze?

3. Do you have a custom SSS?

4. Do you have a custom CSS?

5. Does it freeze when you access the menu or when you select a stage?

My problem lies within question #3. I have just set up a custom SSS for two stages (Luigi's Mansion and Pictochat). I have replaced everything (name, select icon, stage preview, etc.) Turns out, my wii doesn't like custom SSS's and so it crashes when it tries to go to the stage select screen. Please help.
