I am new to this forum although I have read a lot of the guides here and watched a lot of the videos on youtube on hacking and everything, I still can't do it and decided to make an account on smashboards.com so I can learn how to because I am confused about most of the ways to hack Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

I am seeking a way to hack Super Smash Bros. Brawl to get the characters like Giga Bowser, Wario Man, and Alloys in a character slot, here is a video that shows the characters (Giga Bowser, Wario Man, Alloys) in a "Special" slot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slbswEXhbmM

Before I go into the "help" I'm looking for, I would like to state that I know how to hack. I am not new to hacking nor am I experienced at hacking. I have HomeBrew Channel, CodeManager, Gecko OS, and a 2GB SD card. I can easily put the codes in codemanager and transfer them onto Super Smash Bros. Brawl with my SD card such as "No Knockback" or "Invincibility" from geckocodes.org. To be honest, I know how to get Giga Bowser, Wario Man, and even Alloys with the Character Modifier (P1) code and can easily change the character but that's not what I'm looking for. I am looking for a way to: change the skin of Bowser to get Giga Bowser or Wario to get Wario Man, OR put a character slot with separate characters for Giga Bowser, Wario Man, and Alloys instead of using a code all the time every time just to get the character I want. The problem I have with code hacking is the X and Y values. Sometimes the X and Y values don't work for me and I am of course confused and try to find help. If you can, please show examples of using X and Y values so it is more clear and explained. That is the only problem I have with code hacking, now on to texture hacks and custom CSS.

I am almost completely lost on how to make a custom CSS and not completely sure how to make a texture hack. I believe CSS stands for: Character Selection Screen, if not please correct me then. Since it stands for Character Selection Screen, I think you can put slots to a maximum of 50 including Giga Bowser, Wario Man, and Alloys in your CSS. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe texture is the skin for the character and altering the skin for the character could give me a new character. For example: Bowser= Giga Bowser skin, Wario= Wario Man skin, Samus= Zero Suit Samus skin. If I could change the skin of Bowser and get Giga Bowser or Wario and get Wario Man than that's another solution instead of putting slots. Although, I prefer putting separate slots for Giga Bowser and Wario Man but whichever way is EASIER. Please tell me which way is easier before you tell me and show me.

Please show me how to get a character slot with Giga Bowser, Wario Man, and Alloys or make a texture hack with those characters as skins as simple as possible! I am tired of reading guides and watching videos where the creator EXPECTS me to have a knowledge about hacking which I do but not an experienced knowledge about it that I can do it without further questions. Here are my files in my SD card so I can help make the task easier:

apps> Gecko1931> boot.elf, icon, meta

data> codes> RMCE01.gct (Ignore this), RSBE01.gct (Super Smash Bros Brawl codes)

private> wii> app> RSBE> pf> fighter, info, menu, menu 2, module, sound, stage, system

fighter> *All the characters: gkoopa, warioman, szerosuit etc.* Note: I have all the characters names in it but there are no files in the characters folders.

menu> strap

sound> strm

stage> melee

Note: I use Brawl Vault for my texture hacks and ONLY Brawl Vault so please show me how to use it more in-depth like how to download the character, stage, and other hacks from there step by step as simple as possible. Also, the below "Question" section involves Brawl Vault and questions related to it so if you use Brawl Vault please help to answer those questions. Thank you!


Questions

This section is for all the questions I have about Super Smash Bros. Brawl. If you can, at least answering 1 of these questions would be great since I am very confused about all this. Thank you again for taking your time to read this post!

#1- How do you use the code values in geckocodes.org (WiiRD) that require replacing the X values and Y values correctly? *Explain this*

#2- IF I had Giga Bowser, Wario Man, and Alloys in character slot and I used one of them in a Nintendo WiFi match, would that cause desynchronization (loss of connection) ?

#3- The youtube link above has everything I NEED, how would I put the video users CSS, main menu, and the stage in my Super Smash Bros. Brawl folder? *Explain this*

#4- How do I change the texture hack, I see it looks something like this: Fit(Character Name)00.pcs? *Explain this*

#5- If I used codes on Nintendo WiFi would that cause desyncronization?

#6- In Nintendo WiFi I use the Character Modifier (P1) code to change my character to Giga Bowser but instead I see P2 (Player 2) is Giga Bowser. I have heard that it depends who the host is for the match to change into your desired character. 2 questions: 1- How do I determine I'm the host for the match? 2- If I use Character Modifier (P4) will that make P1 (me) Giga Bowser since it is choosing the character that is ahead of me. *Explain this*

#7- What is Brawl Box, will I need it for my hacks or is it optional, how do I use it?

#8- How come when I use normal hack codes such as "Invincibility" or "No Knockback" online it also applies to my enemies (they also get my hack)?

#9- Kind of a stupid question but is there any way to hack the game to use any of the Bosses as Characters an any way or any mode? If so, how?

#10- When I go to Brawl Vault and press Characters, Items, or anything else it says this: "Problem," why does it say this and how can I stop it from saying this?

#11- In Brawl Vault, how would I download the Character, Stage, and other stuff? *Explain this*

#12- I have heard that the Alloys have more power and less knockback than other characters, is this true?

#13- Will others be able to see me with my hacked character (Giga Bowser, Wario Man, Alloy) in Nintendo WiFi or just the host?

#14- When I used another persons file with all their codes, it gave me the normal characters + independent pokemon but no Giga Bowser, Wario Man, or Alloys, how? *Explain this*

* If you do not know a format for answering these questions or want an easy way for answering them then answer them this way:

#1- (Answer)

#2- (Answer)

#3- (Answer)

etc.

P.S.- *Explain this* means that explain the answer with support, examples, and further explanation instead of a simple answer.

Dear god, that was a long read.

Anyway, textures are skins for characters, but Giga Bowser is considered a separate character from Bowser, and so is Warioman and Zero Suit Samus.

If you want to add the Alloys, Giga and Warioman, and separate Samus and Zero Suit Samus, etc., there are codes that let you do that.

As for your questions:

1. By this you mean you see codes that go something like:

97AC48 DB43XX
97AC48 DB43YY

Note that I completely made up those numbers, but that's what you mean by X and Y values? Then this is dependent upon the code. For a custom CSS, the code is
Custom CSS V3 [spunit262] [18 lines]
0668310C 00000030
387E006C 3B600000
3C808068 38840DE0

2c170028 41820168
02680DE0 0022FFFF
06680DE0 000000YY
ZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZ

In this code, YY is the number of characters total, but you need to fill in the value yourself. If you want to have 50 slots (including random), then you put in a 32 (32 being 50 in hexadecimal.)

The ZZZZZZ ZZZZZZ is where you put character ID's in for the order you want characters in. The character ID's are:
00 Mario
01 Donkey Kong
02 Link
03 Samus
04 Zero Suit Samus
05 Yoshi
06 Kirby
07 Fox
08 Pikachu

29 Random

My personal CSS is this:

However, you will need other codes in order to get these to work. I'd recommend just using all of these:

2. If you use one of them, I'm pretty sure it would work okay. However, the game will freeze in any 4 player match if any player is an Alloy, and Player 4 isn't an Alloy too.

3. What exactly are you asking here? You would just need to download the files and put them in the proper folder. Do you want a brief directory?

4. FitMario00.pcs is Mario's normal costume. If you wish for a Mario hack to replace a different costume, rename it FitMario01.pcs. This applies to all characters. Do you want a link to a list of all character costumes?

5. That depends on the codes you use.

6. I'm not entirely sure how the character modifier works, but you can tell if you are the host by your portrait's position on the bottom of the screen during a match. If you are all the way on the left, I believe you are the host.

7. BrawlBox is your all-purpose hacking tool. You only need it if you want to make your own hacks.

8. The way Brawl's online works is that other players are kind of like other controllers. Any code you use will apply to them, but only on your Wii, not on theirs. If you push A, your Wii tells the other Wii's that you pushed A. This means that your character will do a standard attack. However, if your Wii has a code that makes characters not take knockback, then on your Wii, the character you hit will take no knockback. But the other Wii's don't have that code, so they will still make the character take knockback. This is why matches can be desynched by using hacks.

9. I'm sure there is, but I don't know how to off the top of my head.

10. There is a strange glitch in the Brawl Vault right now. Click the "Safe Search" button so that it goes off, then it should work fine.

11. You click the name of the hack, which will transfer you to a hosting website like Mediafire, then click the download button there.

12. What do you mean by "more power?" Every move has a different power level. They may be universally more powerful, but I don't know off the top of my head.

13. If you play as one of them, I think so, but it may freeze them once it reaches the result screen. But if you meant you applied texture hacks, then no, they won't see that.

14. That's just the way they set up their CSS.

If you need me to rephrase anything, or have more questions, just ask.

I actually have a few questions but I will ask you my most important one. How would I download this person CSS and his stages? May you show me step by step because I want everything EXACTLY like his. His characters and everything are perfect and I know I just have to copy it but I don't know how to. Here is the link that I am talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slbswEXhbmM

Are you sure? I had Giga Bowser online and I lost connection within the first 10 seconds. This hasn't happened once but more than 5 times. Every time I use Giga Bowser or another person uses it, my Wii get desynchronized and I lose connection even if I am host. Although, it works perfectly fine with normal characters just not with Giga Bowser, Wario Man, etc. How do I stop from disconnecting and desynchronizing while playing with my custom characters?

To get it exactly like that, you will need to download this: http://www.mediafire.com/?k9wq1zv72nvfpbq

Extract the files from the .rar (using WinRAR or a similar program), then open the CSS Organizer program. Click File>Open and select your CSS file (if using Gecko, it's sc_selcharacter.pac, if using Riivolution, it's sc_selcharacter_en.pac and located within common5.pac.) At the bottom right, it will say "layout." Change this number to 37. A black box will now appear with the icons. Select it, then go to the top right where it says "face", and change that number to 24.

You may then arrange them in whatever order or pattern you want to, then when you are done, make a Custom CSS code that supports all the characters you want, in the order you arranged them.

In order to get the Alloys, Giga, and Warioman over ZSS like that but still be able to play as ZSS through normal Samus, there was a file on the Brawl Vault. However, I can't seem to locate it now :/ I just spent about 5-10 minutes looking. I know I've seen it before, but I couldn't find it today.

As for the Giga thing, I've never tried to play online as him, so I have no idea why that would happen. But getting desynched won't instantly disconnect you, or at least I don't think it would. Characters would just appear to go in random directions.

If I see that download, I'll notify you immediately. However, it is possible to give each of those characters their own slots on the CSS, which is done with that code I gave you earlier.
