Issues with Project M 3.6 Installation - help appreciated!

[PoutineBoutique]

Hey Smashboards,

Recently got introduced to PM and wanted to get it running. I purchased a barely used Wii from my friend, a 2GB SD card off amazon, and downloaded Project M 3.6 off of the mirror sites on www.reddit/r/ssbpm. I'm using the hackless - not homebrew - version. I've deleted the custom stages in the stagebuilder.

When I click stagebuilder to load up, however, it just freezes. I've been fishing around for trouble shooting options, but nothing has worked. This includes FAT32 formatting for the SD card.

Anyone have any ideas? Some steps that I might be missing?

Check out this picture. Though it talks about P:M 3.5, the same principles apply to 3.6. I think you probably need to redownload P:M and try again.

It may be your sd card just doesn't play nice with smash stack. Make sure there is a boot.elf file on the root of the sd card. Also try re-downloading project m. If you still can't get it to work, you could try a different wii exploit, like letterbomb.

Side note: letterbomb supports sdhc, so you can use >2GB cards with it. Downside is it needs your wii's mac address to work, so it will only work on the specific wii you downloaded it for.

Posting same response from other thread:

First, start Brawl (through the Wii menu). Then hit start once you see the intro come on (so you're now on the main menu). The code should now be initializing. Wait about 15-30 seconds for the code to load. THEN go to Stage Builder.
