Okay, i finally got it after hours of troubleshooting. I erased my old game files and downloaded the 100% game files from the forum before i completed the steps below. I'm skipping these steps for brevity but if you want them leave a message. This is for a Hackless wii and these are the steps I specifically took to get M to work.
IF it is still not working then do these trouble shooting tips
- MAKE SURE SD CARD WAS FORMATTED CORRECTLY/FAULTY SD CARD
- MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A WIFI CONNECTION, CHANNEL 1-11 ON ROUTER NORTH AMERICA ONLY**
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO MOVE FILES AROUND INSIDE PM FOLDERS/ REDO STEPS 4 THRU 7
My problem was the wifi connection. I haven't seen anything on it in the forums so i'm letting you guys know it is a problem accessing online play. In the settings menu of my Wii, test connections and my network would be connected and seemed to be running fine but i still could not connect to PM 3.6. or update in the launcher menu. This was driving me nuts because i could run Brawl online and previous versions of PM (3.0). JUST 3.6 would not work. I found on Nintendo's website trouble shooting problems with previous connection issues and found one where you have to reconfigure your router channels until you find one that gives you an optimum connection. That was the ticket for me. I guess good wasn't good enough for my Wii or 3.6 and i had to play with my router. I don't know what it is with 3.6 but its been way too finicky
