PM 3.6 crashing on startup from CFG loader

[crabsmack]

I have always loaded PM off of CFG loader, and it has always worked prior to this version. I have the Brawl ISO on a connected external hard drive, the PM files on the SD, and Ocarina set to load codes. However, in both the 3.6 beta and 3.6's official release this fails. The game displays the "Project M 3.6" startup screen, I get the URL, and briefly see the loading icon. The screen then turns black the Wii is unresponsive.

I have tried:

• removing memory cards
• reformatting my SD card
• setting the hook type to AXNextFrame
• just redownloading 3.6

3.5 still works just fine when I switch the files on my SD card. I was hoping this was just a beta issue that would be fixed for release but I'm still unable to play 3.6, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
